Lawn mowers are machines comprising of a blade or blades to cut the lawn and keep it even. There is a variety of lawn mowers just as much as the type of gardens we have. One has to choose the best one among them, based on what his requirements are. Lawn mowers are mainly of two types. The first type is the rotary mower, where the blade rotates around the vertical axis. In the next model, the rotation of the blade is along a horizontal axis. This model is referred to as the cylindrical mower or the reel mower.
Apart from these two basic classifications, there are different lawn mowers based on their sizes. Here, the first one is the smallest type. This is a model that can be used for the purpose of residential lawns only, by using manual power of humans. So, it only requires pushing with the hand. In case of bigger lawns, there are larger land mowers that are known as ride-on mowers. For even bigger lawns, like those in golf courses, there are multi-gang mowers which come along with a tractor and are pulled by the tractor.
Lawn mowers run on fuel. While some of them use gasoline, there are other models that use electricity. Manual lawn mowers can definitely not be as effective as those driven by fuel power. Manual lawn mowers can be used only for keeping up our personal atmosphere clean and hygienic. So, the effectiveness of a land mower is one criterion that has to be looked into while choosing a land mower. Then, the noise production level also has to be taken into consideration. This is something where the neighbourhoods' health and hygiene also has to be considered.
The life duration of the mower is another factor which plays an important role in determining the choice of land mower. Safety factors and reliability have to be examined with great care, especially when it comes to electric land mowers and gasoline run ones. The expenses taken and the effort required for the maintenance of the land mower are main determinants for choosing the land mower model. The efficiency of the cost and time of maintenance is essential.
In case of reel mowers, the blades are placed horizontally at a set height. The blades keep moving fast so as to push into these blades the grass to be cut. Now, these blades keep rotating on a cylindrical axis and are therefore called as cylindrical mowers. This enables uniform and neat cutting of the grass and therefore, it can heal quickly and grow on an even scale. In this reel mower, there are push reel mowers, which works without a motor. It is the model that uses manual power. There are also models that use batteries or motors. Of the battery kinds, it is better to use the model where on a single charge the entire lawn can be mowed.
Rotary mowers always run on fuel with an internal combustion engine. This has to be used with great care as it might end up being very risky because it runs on power.
