How to choose a gasoline lawn mower

1. Land area. The first step is to determine the area of ​​the lawn that will be regularly maintained. For small lawns (up to 1000 sq. M.), Budget equipment is suitable. For larger areas, it is better to choose a lawn mower from the middle price segment.
2. Design. Gasoline lawn mowers are available both self-propelled and non-self-propelled. Equipment equipped with a wheel drive is designed for flat and large areas. Wheeled models without a drive will have to be pushed by the operator. These machines are preferable to use on relief terrain, but with prolonged mowing, hands and back can get tired.
3. Functionality. Gasoline lawn mowers have various additional functions. Some models exclusively mow the grass, scattering it chaotically over the lawn. The area looks more accurate if, after mowing, the grass is collected in a special container. Rigid collectors look more reliable than fabric counterparts.

4. The quality of the haircut. Modern lawn mowers allow you to choose the height of the grass that will remain after mowing. The range ranges from 20 to 120 mm. If varietal grass is sown on the site, then it is better to purchase a lawn mower with a cutting height of 20-70 mm. In the case of different types of vegetation, it is preferable to choose a technique with a cutting height of 50-120 mm.
5. Performance. Gasoline lawn mowers are equipped with motors with a power of 2.5 to 7 liters. from. However, the performance depends not only on the capabilities of the engine, but also on the width of the deck (40-60 cm). The wider the cutting strip, the more powerful the power unit must be.
6. Build quality. An ordinary user can determine the quality of equipment by several criteria. First of all, you should pay attention to the number of plastic parts. The mower body and deck must be made of metal. When inspecting, it is important to check the reliability of the fasteners, and also ask a consultant about the presence of oil in the engine.
7. Ease of use. For the average consumer, mowing the lawn should be a pleasure, not a grueling job. The technique should be light, compact and maneuverable. For summer residents, a folding handle will be an actual option. In this position, the equipment can be transported in the trunk of a passenger car.
