Lawn Mowers: Cutting the Lawn the Right Way

 

A well maintained lawn mower is an essential piece of equipment for the back yard area. In order to increase efficiency in your lawn care activities it is often advisable to research the available machines on the market to make certain you are purchasing one that matches your specific requirements.

 

Here are some of the main lawn mowers:

 

1. Reel Lawn Mower: If you are looking for a quick and efficient push lawnmower, you will want to investigate the availability of the reel lawn mowers which are highly efficient at cutting short length grass. A manual lawnmower of this type with its cylinder bottom is equipped with cutting blades in the region of 12 to 18 inches for a very satisfactory cutting path.

 

2. Rotary Lawn Mower: If looking to upgrade to a powered lawnmower, you might wish to look at the availability of the rotary mowers which operate via a gas engine. They can offer a power base in the region of two to seven HP.

 

Beyond the gas powered rotary mowers, it is also possible to locate electric variations which are highly attractive for those that would prefer to avoid the issue of handling gasoline. A key benefit of the electric model is that it is able to operate at a much quieter noise level. But, if you are more concerned with power performance then you might wish to use the electric powered machines since they are able to provide a much shorter lawn cut.

 

3. Riding Lawn Mower: In situations of needing to cut significantly sized lawn areas it will be highly beneficial to purchase one of the riding lawn mowers as they will offer complete ease in cutting the grass in this situation.

 

A sit-on lawnmower can vary quite noticeably in its overall quality, therefore make sure that you research the market to purchase one of the better branded models. Also, these machines can be highly versatile in that it is possible to attach multiple fixtures, such as a fertilizer dropper or snow blower.
