The Lawn Mower (formerly named "Mower") is a riding lawn mower featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Jack Sheepe in the HD Universe.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
As mentioned, the Mower is designed as a low-powered sit down mower, but it cannot be used to kill people or cut grass. It is presumably based on a Craftsman model but with small circular headlamps mounted on the sides, next to the main grille. It may also be based on the 1992 John Deere 322.
Despite being an open air vehicle, the Mower will not dislodge the player when it rolls over as the vehicle is considered a car rather than a bike. Instead, the player will remain seated, even if the vehicle is completely upside down, "burying" the player in the ground.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Lawn Mower returns with a modernized design, seemingly based on the John Deere LX172 with many design cues appearing to draw heavily from the Kubota BX1800 tractor, with elements of its front grille and trim being similar to the New Holland LS45, but instead of a single rectangular headlight, the vehicle uses two rectangular headlights (that are placed to look like a single unit). Unlike the GTA San Andreas rendition, the Lawn Mower lacks tail lights, since the vehicle is not intended for use on public roads, but rather for enclosed properties.
The Mower's default colors comes in Green, Red and 2 different shades of blue. These may be based on the colors of John Deere, Massey Ferguson and New Holland respectively.
The vehicle features a more realistic mowing equipment and noticeably rugged tires, in order to provide better traction on lawn, as well as a set of gauges commonly found in vans and trucks. It is one of the smallest vehicles available, on par with the Airtug.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Mower is generally slow, and while the vehicle is easy to control when traveling normally, the vehicle handles more poorly when picking up speed going downhill. The vehicle is thus the slowest in GTA San Andreas, even slower than the Sweeper. However, as it is motorized, the vehicle can be repaired at a Pay 'n' Spray. Additionally, the player cannot perform a drive-by from the front of the mower, since it is designed with car traits.
Its engine has the same sound as the Kart's.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Lawn Mower appears to be powered by a V8 engine, but appears to sound like a small diesel engine, similar to the Forklift. It has a single-speed transmission and a front wheel drive layout. Based on the files, speed is limited to just roughly 13 mph, making it the second slowest land vehicle in the game (only above the Dozer's speed of 9 mph). This also makes the vehicle even slower than the player on foot.
Its short wheelbase and small wheels enable it to turn corners sharply, but the Lawn Mower is very slow, possessing bad acceleration and torque. Its low ground clearance prevents it from going over small bumps or even curbs without getting stuck. The open-cabin nature of the Lawn Mower leaves the player susceptible to gunfire, making the Lawn Mower a poor choice for a getaway vehicle.
When riding a Lawn Mower, players are able to use the Sawed-Off Shotgun as a mean of defense.

Trivia
General
- The Mower plays the following radio stations by default when ridden:
- GTA San Andreas: K-Rose.
- GTA V: WorldWide FM.
- A similarly designed riding lawn mower is featured in Bully, another Rockstar game, where it is much more detailed and is able to cut grass.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- When the player is travelling in reverse, Carl Johnson will rest his right arm on an invisible chair. This is because the Mower uses the same behavior and animations as a normal car, and is also why CJ cannot fall off the Mower despite its open-air design.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
- Despite the fact that the cutters cannot be activated, small grass and leaf particles can be observed blowing out of the mowing unit whenever the player drives over grass.
