What Type of Lawn Mower Should I Use?

Deciding on what type of lawn mower to get can sometimes be daunting. With all the choices, one would wonder which one they should choose. Walking or riding? Gas or electric? There are different advantages to each type of mower. However, at the end of the day, it is all about personal choice. That is why in this article, we are going to be explaining wonderful and different types of mowers.

One of the many differences between lawn mowers are the different blades attached to them. Another thing that gives you more variety are the options in how you want to use a mower. Walking and riding mowers are both viable options for your landscape. 

Fuel Type

​Additionally, you are given even more options when you decide on what mower you want to use when it comes to the type of fuel it takes. There are electric, push, cordless, and petrol lawn mowers. Electric lawn mowers are usually used for more average sized gardens. They usually run off of cables. Push mowers are powered by movement. Using a push mower might not be the best for you if it is hard for you to move around. Cordless lawnmowers are similar to electric. The difference is that cordless lawnmowers are powered by battery. Petrol lawn mowers run off of gas and are commonly used for larger lawns. They usually cut grass faster but need the oil checked. Additionally, there are also robot lawn mowers which are similar to robot vacuums. 

Traction 

Mowers also have different types of wheels that can effect the way it operates. Lawnmowers that have front-wheel make it easy to move around corners. Lawnmowers with rear-wheel drive work great if you need some sort of traction. Traction is usually needed when going up or the side of a hill. 

Features

Are you still confused about what you should choose?

Well, maybe looking at all the different features a lawn mower has can help steer you in the right direction. Some lawnmowers offer a grass box feature. Usually mowers will leave the cut grass on the lawn. However, a grass box collects those dead clippings.

There are also self propelled lawn mowers. They push themselves while you just have to guide them on where to go. Certain lawnmowers also have a mulch feature that helps you take care of your lawn. It takes the grass, granulates it, and then deposits it back into the yard.

Ever wonder how some people get a stripped lawn? This is beacause they have a rear roller attached. The rear roller gives you the ability to cut very close to the end of the lawn. Speaking of cutting close, some mowers offer you the chance to change the cutting heights. With that you can leave the lawn longer during colder weather or periods without a lot of rain.

Possible Cons

On another hand, there could be some things that you don't want for a lawn mower. For example, petrol mowers cause emissions. Other movers may be hard to start up. Cordless lawnmowers need time to recharge, and usually have a narrow cutting width.

As you can see, there are a variety of  lawn mowers available on the market.  They can come at different prices, different sizes, and with many different features. It is just up to you to choose which one will get the job done!
