The first step in choosing a lawn mower is to understand the characteristics of the lawn. The area of the lawn will affect your choice of engine horsepower, while the characteristics of the lawn terrain determine the performance that the lawn mower should have.
Generally speaking, engines with 3.5 to 5 horsepower are fully capable of weeding small lawns. The engine suitable for this type of lawn must have the characteristics of stable starting and reliable performance.
For medium-sized lawns, walk-behind lawn mowers with 5 to 6.5 horsepower or mounted lawn mowers with 8.5 to 12.5 horsepower are more suitable. As the weed removal area is directly proportional to the engine power, it is important to pay attention to the durability and operating time of the engine when purchasing a lawn mower.
Large lawns must be equipped with high-power engines (garden tractors with 20 to 25 horsepower). Using a low-power lawn mower to tidy up a large area of lawn not only causes damage to the equipment, but also reduces its lifespan.
For lawns with gentle slopes and few corners, we recommend using the basic walk-behind lawn mower. An excellent walk-behind lawn mower must have a convenient starting feature. For lawns with uneven ground and obstacles, lawn mowers are required to have good directional control performance. The riding-on lawn mower is easy to move, and the small riding lawn mower is also relatively easy to operate.
