Your Guide to the Different Types of Lawn Mowers
If you are searching for ways to maintain your lawn, get the right tools first. The most critical machine you need for your work is a lawn mower. But with all the different types of lawn mowers on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?
Keep reading our guide to learn more about the different types of lawn mowers, and then visit PrairieLand Partners to explore a few models in person.
Reel Mowers
Reel mowers are the simplest type of lawn mowers, and they are essentially just a blade attached to a handle. If you have a small lawn with short grass, this type of tool can help you maintain a well-manicured look. These models are moderately powerful and much quieter than other comparable models. That's why they are a better option for those searching for an eco-friendly machine for their work.
Push Mowers
Push mowers have an engine that powers the blade, and these models are better suited for tackling thicker grass. These machines come in gas and electric models—so keep your options open.
Some push mowers come equipped with self-propulsion features, which make them easier to handle. At the same time, you can find models with mulching capabilities, which help chop grass clippings that you can use on your garden as fertilizer.
Riding Mowers
Riding mowers are for larger lawns, usually half-acre or more. These machines can tackle tall grass efficiently and help save time and effort when maintaining yards. That's why they are often the first choice of owners of large properties and estates.
Zero-Turn Mowers
Zero-turn mowers are the largest type of lawn mowers with a turning radius of zero degrees. This means they can make tight turns without having to first back up. This is helpful on yards with obstacles like trees or flower beds.
