Lawn Mowers--Retail & Repairs

A machine that cuts a lawn is called a lawn mower. It uses blades that rotate to cut grass at even heights. Some mowers are designed to be suitable for residential lawns. These are usually the small in size and manually pushed. For larger lawns like golf courses, large ride-on mowers and mowers pulled by tractors are available for greater efficiency.

There are different specific types of lawn mowers available in the market. Lawn mowers with blades rotating around a vertical axis are also called rotary mowers while those with blades rotating around a horizontal axis are also called the cylinder mowers. Rotary mowers usually result to rough cuts and shredding of the grass leaves. This is brought about by its high impact in cutting the grass especially when the blades have become obstructed and burnt. Cylinder mowers, which are also called reel mowers, carry a fixed, horizontal blade at a certain height. A properly set cylinder mower tends to make the cleanest, straight and definite cutting of grass. It also helps the grass to heal in a shorter period of time. The grass cut by rotary mowers tends to have discolorations while this tends to occur less likely when using the cylinder mowers.

Gasoline engines or electric motors can be added to power the mowers for ease of use. An electric powered mower is typically set up to supply power as the operator pushes the machine along. Lawn mowers of electric models can be corded or not. For mowers with gasoline engines, the engine itself drives the mower through the use of a belt. Gasoline mowers serves at greater distances and power compared top electrically powered mowers. Lawn mower repairs and maintenance, however, are required periodically whichever type is of use.
