If you have the necessary equipment, a large plot of land overgrown with grass, and you are tired of spending your time mowing the thickets of grass manually, then you should use a mowing machine.
What is the difference between a mower and other mowers?
The mowing machine is great for mowing tall grass.
A trimmer, or a mowing machine, as it is otherwise called, has two varieties:
1. Petrol.
2. Electric.
Depending on the use of the blade during the operation of the mowing machine, the following types are distinguished:
1. From metal discs.
2. From nylon fishing line.
3. Combined.
Advantages and disadvantages
The trimmer, unlike a lawn mower, during operation has:
1. The radius of mowing grass from 25 to 40 cm
2. Convenient in cutting grass in hard to reach places.
3. The possibility of portable carrying it on the shoulder throughout the territory.
Among the advantages of mowing machines, the following are distinguished:
1. The equipment has a weight of 4000 to 10000 g.
2. Under the clear guidance of an employee, he copes well with cutting uneven areas.
3. Efficiency when charging (for electric mowers) about 1 kW.
4. The equipment is compact (it can be stored both vertically and horizontally).
5. If there is a malfunction, all details can be found.
6. The price is cheaper than lawn mowers.
7. The presence of multifunctionality (with interchangeable nozzles).
8. It is environmentally friendly (relevant for electric mowers).
9. Almost silent during operation.
The disadvantages of the use of equipment include:
1. Using a mowing machine is suitable for males because of the transfer of the device on their shoulders.
2. The trimmer quickly overheats.
3. Convenient for mowing grass in small areas.
4. Gas mowers pollute the air.
Another important difference between lawn mowers and conventional mowers is their use for processing not only small areas, but also for a large area.
How to make a choice?
Experts when buying a mower recommend paying attention to the following factors:
1. The size of the territory that will need to be removed from excess grass, its surface and the presence of solid vegetation and pebbles on it.
2. Accounting for power and noise.
3. Dimensions of equipment.
4. Who will be used (by a woman or a man), which will help determine the weight of the device.
5. Dependence on the power grid or on physical labor.
6. The presence of multifunctionality (the function of moistening the lawn, instant collection of waste in the urn, adjusting the cut of the height of the grass, the presence of removable drives).
7. Troubleshooting service.
8. Performance features.
In addition to taking into account the main factors, for a specific definition, experts advise arming with a ball test. With it, you can determine the necessary model of the mower.
