- What type of lawnmowers are there?
- The type of lawnmower you buy will depend on the size of your lawn, the type of grass you have, and your budget. • Walk-behind petrol mowers are the most common type of lawnmower. They can be relatively inexpensive and easy to use. However, they can be difficult to push on large lawns or hills. • Self-propelled petrol mowers are more expensive than walk-behind mowers, but they are easier to push. They are a great option for large lawns or hills. • Ride-on mowers are the most expensive type of lawnmower, but they are also the most powerful. They are a good option for large lawns with lots of hills, or for more professional use across large areas. Some machines also have a range of attachments to turn your ride-on mower into a small garden tractor for pulling trailers, water bowsers or snow ploughs. • Battery mowers are becoming more popular, as they are quieter and produce zero emissions during use. However, they can be more expensive than petrol-powered mowers as an initial purchase, but save money long-term. • Robotic mowers are a fairly new entry into the garden machinery world, but are becoming more and more popular with consistent mowing times, the ability to work via GPS and a huge time-saving, giving you your weekends back!
