Choosing the right lawnmower
Mowing the lawn will always come down to the equipment. However, how do you know what’s best? Don’t worry – here’s a straightforward guide to the best choice.
What to look for when purchasing a lawnmower?
How big is the yard area?
For areas 1000 square feet and less an electric mower maybe best used.
For areas over 1000 square feet and under 5000 square feet it’ll be best to go with one of the mowers below or equivalent.
Push or self-propel
Generally if you have a small flat yard a push mower is ok But if you have a page flat or large uneven ground a self-propelled mower would be the best choice.
Rear wheel or front wheel
Generally speaking, the rear-wheel-drive offers you additional traction and makes it easier to mow flat or uneven terrain.
Front wheel drive is also good but you may need to add some pressure on the handle to ensure it gets proper traction.
PACE Control – one speed vs variable speed
Generally one speed is fine but if you want the mower to match your speed the variable speed will be the beat choice. If you don’t have a preference the one speed will be the cheaper option.
