What About Self-Propelled Push Lawn Mowers?

While your traditional push mower is a standard edition, they do require a lot of physical effort. This is especially the case when your property is uneven or hilly. During such instances, your best bet is to settle for the self-propelled push mowers due to easier maneuverability. The single-speed types move at a gentle pace of between 1 to 3 MPH whereas variable-speed mowers offer more than one pace that is in line with your particular preference.

Grass clippings from a cutting deck can be discarded in numerous ways, such as;

  • Mulching models will cut grass clippings into smaller pieces before putting these back onto the grass.
  • Bags will gather clippings. However, the person doing the mowing would have to empty it.
  • Side-discharge models would send the clippings back onto the lawn.

You will come across push mowers that are multi-functional.

If you have sufficient storage facilities for your mowers, then big decks would be an option. Bear in mind that you need to consider the amount of time you intend spending cutting your lawn. If you are stoked for time, then you should think about getting yourself a mower that will take care of the mowing in minutes.

If you are someone who loves tending your lawn, then a reel mower that is equipped with a small deck and delivers a clean cut is best.

The deck size determines how easy it would be for the mower to make its way through the lawn. If you have plants or flowers you care about, then you need to settle for a small cutting deck. The cutter will then cause no harm to your plants as the cutting width will be limited.

Why it is Important to Pay attention to the Weight of the Push Mower

No doubt, to push a mower requires a certain amount of strength. As a result, it would be to your advantage to acquire a cutting machine to avoid excess fatigue while mowing.

Another thing to pay attention to is to display caution as a powerful mower has pointed parts that can injure you.
