Choosing the right lawn mower can be a daunting task. The very first thing to consider is the type of yard you have and what you want to accomplish. For example, the size of the yard, the number obstacles and the overall terrain of the yard, is it flat or are their rolling hill and the type of grass you are cutting. Ultimately you are going to need a mower that can cope with many obstacles and a mower that’s going to meet your needs.
Let’s take a look at riding mowers vs. push mowers. First and foremost if you have a lot of hills in your yard you may not want to consider a riding mower. It’s very easy to have an accident when using a riding more along the slant of a hill or even trying to cut on the hill in damp grass. Given that fact, grass is slippery in general and choosing a riding mower for steep hills is out of the question.
When choosing a lawn mower, we need to consider how the mower is going to cut our grass. Each mower has a different type of blade system and maneuvering capabilities. Most new mowers are becoming more automated with their steering and have the ability to turn on a dime. It’s been my experience through landscaping that having a mower that can do a 180 almost at a standstill makes life a lot easier.
Secondly choosing a mower that pushes itself rather than using your own efforts can make a world of difference in the ease of cutting your lawn especially if you have more than an acre of ground. The only case in which a tiny push mower may be handy is for the front yard when wanting to achieve nice straight lines and cutting a very small plot of grass, anything else; it’s recommended an automated push mower that moves on a swivel.
