Lawn Mowers: A Guide to Choosing the Right One
Lawn mowers are essential tools for maintaining a well-manicured lawn. They come in various types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types: At Cumming Lawn Service we use Hustler Mowers for our larger mowers and Honda for our push or self-propelled mowers. There are many good models available in the larger mowers. FYI Honda has quit making the self-propelled mowers so all is on the lookout for the next model to take its place. If you have one take good care of it. I understand that Toro has a good self-propelled mower now. We will be checking it out. That is the only make I might could recommend. I know that Hustler is a great mower in all sizes in the larger mowers. I have the link to the dealer below.
Push Mowers
· Manual: The most basic type, requiring physical effort to push. Ideal for small lawns and eco-conscious users. These type mowers usually come in self-propelled as well. This model may cost a little more but is worth the extra to help pull itself along.
· Electric: Powered by a battery or cord, offering convenience and ease of use. Suitable for medium-sized lawns. The electric models have self-propelled as well.
Riding Mowers
· Gas-powered: Powerful and versatile, perfect for large lawns with hills or uneven terrain.
· Electric: Environmentally friendly option for medium-sized lawns.
· This variety is known as a tractor type and is less common now than the below Zero Turn model unless you are buying a John Deere. Some properties a tractor type mower can still be used affectively.
Zero-Turn Mowers
· Gas-powered: Highly maneuverable and efficient for large, complex lawns.
· Electric: A quieter and cleaner alternative for smaller to medium-sized lawns.
· Zero Turn is the most popular models now on the market that have stand on Zero Turn even down to a 36-inch home owner model with some manufactures. Most of the major parts are made by the same companies so quality is pretty standard. If the price is cheap you will get what you pay for.
