Are you in the market for a new lawn mower? If so, you probably realize that there are many manufacturers out there producing excellent machines. This is both good and bad.
On the up side, you can choose from a wide variety and get exactly what you want. You won't get stuck with the better of two poor choices. But at the same time, you may be at a loss for how to decide. There are so many to choose from that it can be daunting.
Reel Push Mower
Narrowing your choices is key. Do you need to ride on the mower, or walk behind it? A walk behind mower that you push is for small to moderate sized expanses of grass. You can find electric models or gas powered ones. You will also want to get an edger to get the spots you can't reach with the mower.
Back to the mower, though. Once you decide what type of push mower you want, electric or gas, you can then look at the excellent machines produced by the top manufacturers in the field, and choose the best one in your price range.
Suppose you want a gas powered walking mower. If that is the case, you should look for Reel, Snapper, MTD, or Toro. These are all great manufacturers with reputable products. If you want a cordless electric model instead, check for Simplicity, Black & Decker, and Honda.
For larger lawn areas, or if you are doing commercial mowing, a walk-behind mower just won't do. You'll want to get a ride on mower instead. For this type of mower, you should consider Murray, Husqvarna, and John Deere. Their mowers are very high quality and receive excellent reviews. They also have zero- turn capability.
Regardless of the quality of the mower you purchase, you'll have to do maintenance and repair. It's the nature of machinery to wear out. Common trouble spots are belts, blades, and motors.
Don't worry about the mulching deck, it rarely wears out. The engine, though, is another matter. You want to protect the engine because it is expensive to replace. Keep it well oiled, and don't let the mower sit with gasoline in the tank for too terribly long.
