Walk-behind lawn mowers vary according to many factors such as what fuels the movement, how blades move, what pushes the whole mower, and what happens to grass clippings. The best type of walk behind depends mostly on the slope and size of your lawn: how many trees you have: and what is the condition of your lawn: smooth or weedy? Of course, your workout also enters into your choice. Some people think that mowing is a good exercise, while others may want it to be as easy as possible.
Most rotary blade mowers can bag, mulch, or side discharge clippings easily. A reel mower can be equipped with a bag, or just drop its clippings on the ground. Overall, every major kind of mower has distinct benefits and loss.
Reel Push Mower
Self Propelled Gas Lawn Mower
Generally, a self-propelled gas mower is moved by its motor without being pushed. It can be front-wheel drive or rear-wheel-drive: single speed or variable speed: and some may have cruise control.
Recommended for half an acre lawns, the self-propelled mowers cut more evenly as compared to other kinds of mowers for lawns. They can start with an electric switch. Another high-end feature is a blade override. This stops the blade without cutting the motor. It means that you can stop a self propelled mower to empty the bag or to pick up objects without restarting the engine. It also adds more to your safety.
Like any gas lawn mower, a self-propelled model needs regular cleaning as well as maintenance. They are noisy enough and require hearing protection. They are the most expensive mower type that is most apt to need repairs. Safety is also a concern. Emissions are another major concern for both global warming and air pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that gas mowers emit air pollution. You can minimize emissions by simply selecting a mower with an engine that can meet emissions standards of the CARB: California Air Resources Board. If it seems impossible, choose a four cycle OHV-overhead-valve engine because it is more fuel efficient and can last longer than any two cycle mower engine.
Gas Powered Push Mowers
Highly suggestive for lawns up to one third of an acre, push lawn mowers require more physical exercise. They need lesser amount of repairs than any self-propelled mower, yet they do not last for long. They can easily bag clippings. Experts recommend them for side discharging mode or mulching.
Corded Electric Mowers
They offer easy starting and have lower noise levels. They are light weight and reported with lesser emissions than any gas mower. Some communities offer discounts for switching from gas mowers to electric mowers. Corded electric mowers can be found as both self propelled or push mowers.
Cordless Electric Mowers
They give you more range and flexibility, since they are not tethered to an electrical cord. They are easiest type to convert to solar power.
Manual Reel Mowers
With global warming, a growing concern, manual reel mowers are gaining lot of popularity across the world. This is quietest and safest type of mower available to meet your personal needs.
Look for mowers in detail, if you are not sure which mode you want to use the most. A comparative insight will help you get the right machine for your lawn maintenance.
