Gas Lawn Mowers
When most people look for a lawn mower they look for performance, comfort, and durability. We also recommend paying attention to the speed control and handlebar to see if they suit you. Looking into the warranty is another must do. Most high-quality mowers come with a warranty that includes a guarantee.
Purchasing a larger engine is recommended when cutting wet tall grass, etc. 140-cc to 190-cc is normal Walk-Mower engine ranges. The lawn mowers with the traditional side-valves are the most general and not so expensive.
Some lawn mowers require pushing for power. Many others have a system that controls the wheels.
- Push-mowers are very good small flat yards
- Self-propelled mowers are good for medium and large areas
When mowing up a hill we recommend using a rear drive mower than a front drive. The front drive does not drive well up hills.
There are 4 different ways mowers control their drive system:
- A metal rod you squeeze aginst the handle.
- A push thumb lever.
- A lever you squeeze against a handle.
- Telescoping handle that is pushed forward to increase speed or release pressure.
The correct drive control will make cutting grass easy. If you need to do a lot of maneuvering with the mower it is recommended to use a lever-operated drive allowing you to pivot, pull or push under sticks and limbs. A bail drive control is recommended for mowing wide areas.
Most mowers with twos control are able to (pick up mulch and bag) and/or (mulch and side discharge). The best option if you can is to get all three.
It's good to have a machine that is user-friendly easy air filter and gas replacement, wash out fittings, front caster wheels, etc.
