Everything You Need to Know About Rotary Lawn Mowers

By Nick Harbard


When you come to deciding which rotary mower is best for you, you will have to access your wants and needs. Gas-powered rotary mowers can be divided into two categories: walk-behind rotary mowers and riding mowers (also called lawn tractors).

The walk-behind rotary mowers can be broken down even further depending on if it's a self-propelled or push mower. The recommended retail prices between these styles of rotary mowers can fluctuate hugely, but to give you a simple picture, riding mowers are the most expensive, second only to self-propelled mowers. Push mowers are often the most inexpensive, most probably because to be moved they need you to use your muscles and supply the man power.

Traditionally self-propelled rotary lawn mowers need the operator to pull a leaver to jump the mower into action. Your only duty now is to slowly guide the mower in the right direction across the garden. Once the leaver becomes depressed, the blade stops spinning. The most effective methods are often the most simple. On expensive self-propelled rotary mowers the often motor will not break off when you pull back the leaver - cited as a very useful feature when you have to transport the lawn mower from one side of the garden to another without tearing up grass while doing so.

The difference between riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors lies in the location of the cutting deck. Riding lawn mowers locate the cutting deck under the front of the vehicle, while lawn tractors have a mid-mounted cutting deck. The front-end location of the cutting deck on riding lawn mowers makes these machines more manoeuvrable. Manoeuvrability becomes an issue when, for instance, a lawn is dotted with shrubs and trees. With both riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors you can make use of accessories ranging from brushes for spring cleaning to snow-removal attachments. This is much harder and time consuming with a conventional mower.

Like all lawn mowers, a high level of caution needs to be employed whilst operating riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors. While giving them a vehicle may initially seem a clever tactic to get your children interested in mowing the lawn, you should only allow those mature and old enough to operate any power tools, including riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors.

Choose a mower that's in your price range that meets the needs and standards that you have assigned to it. Rotary mowers are the mower type of choice across the entire world. That should tell you something about your choice. Treat your rotary well and it should be working for you for many years to come.
