If the difference is you ride one and not the other then why does john deere have one that you can ride called a riding mower?
Answer
I presume you meant to ask what is the difference between a riding lawn mower, and a lawn tractor....
There's not much difference these days.
It used to be, that a lawn tractor was slightly larger, had more horsepower, and could run attachments, often supplying power to the attachment. And had a higher price tag.
Places like Sears tho, have blurred the line, by making a full price range and feature list, in both riding lawn mowers, and lawn tractors. The result is, that you can actually buy a riding lawn mower, that has more power and features, than some lawn tractors. (I believe theyve even dropped referring to their riding mowers as 'mowers' and are now calling all of them 'tractor series')
Its almost like asking what is the difference between manufacturer series of auto's.... Chevy to GM, and Ford to Mercury, for example. General rule of thumb... GM's tend to cost more than Chevy's, and Mercurys tend to cost more than Fords...and the biggest difference when comparing models, is the features or trim package. In the same way, lawn tractors usually cost more than lawn mowers. "Usually" But as I said the lines have become pretty blurred.
If you are shopping for a new mower/tractor then walk in with a list of features you want... and how much you want to spend. Ignore what name tag they are putting on it, unless you want to resell it in a year or two.

Looking to buy a Lawn Mower. Zero Turn or Tractor?
Trevor
I'm a first time home buyer with 2.18 acres of level grass to mow. I would like to know what kind of mower to buy either being a zero turn or tractor. Like to have a mulcher. I want to spend between 2 and 4000 on a mower being used or new. I don't need any attachments on a mower cause I have something else to use this on. Please help as I will need one i the coming months. Good quality low maintenance mower
Answer
I would go with a Zero Turn
I have 1 acre and have a John Deere Zero Turn Mower.
If you dont need to pull any attachments, then there is no reason to get a lawn tractor.
Zero turn mowers have alot of Pluses
Much faster ( My mower has a 42in deck and can mow my acre in 45 minutes)
If you have alot of obtacles (trees), zero turn can mow right around the tree on a dime. (lawn tracotr might take a few passes to cut close enough to the tree.
I absoulutly love my zero-turn... used to have a craftsman Lawn tractor... it sucked. grass clumped
