Self-propelled

Before choosing a self-propelled gas mower, take a look at your site:

  • what is the area of ​​the lawn;
  • whether there are plantings, how densely they grow;
  • Is the surface flat?

Self-propelled models are suitable for areas of over 1 thousand m2. They are front or rear wheel drive. If the lawn is planted, then buying a self-propelled gun is not a good idea. The drive will shut off when maneuvering. The top self-propelled mowers hit 3 models.

Non-self-propelled
