What to Consider When Choosing the Right Size of Lawn Mower

In most cases, you can determine the size of lawn mower you need based on the size of your garden, but that’s not the only thing you should consider.

You should also look at the terrain in your garden, the amount of mowing you need to do, and the amount of maintenance your lawn requires.

• Lawn size - How much lawn do you need to mow? If you have a large garden or you need to mow wet, high-growth grass, you’ll need a larger mower. Typically, smaller gardens with lower-growth grass can be mowed with a smaller mower.

• Terrain - Steep slopes, uneven terrain, and narrow passageways can make mowing more difficult. If you have hills, slopes, or rough terrain, you may need a larger mower to be powerful enough to navigate the terrain with ease.

• Amount of maintenance - How much maintenance does your lawn need? If your lawn is mostly flat and grows slowly, you can get away with using a smaller mower. A larger mower may be necessary if you have a lot of high-growth grass that needs to be mowed frequently.

Small Lawn Mowers

Small lawn mowers are better suited to smaller gardens with lower-growth grass, which can handle between 0.5 and 1.5 acres of lawn.

If you have a very small garden, you may be able to get away with using a hand-held push mower or a robotic lawn mower which does all the work for you. These are lightweight, and easy to use which makes them especially good for small gardens with low-growth grass.

Looking for a mower with a small cutting width? Consider a mini mower. These mowers are small and lightweight, making them ideal for smaller gardens and low-growth grass.

Robotic Automatic Mowers - The Husqvarna Automower® 415X

If you have a smaller garden and want to free up some of your time, a robotic lawn mower could be the solution. Husqvarna’s Automower® 415X is a high-end robotic lawn mower that can easily tackle small gardens and can even handle large gardens with even terrain.

• Large Cutting Width - It has a large cutting width of 43 cm and can cut up to 9,800 m2 of lawn.

• Adaptive Mowing Features - It has an auto-adaptive mowing feature, which means it can navigate your garden and mow at different heights based on the different types of grass it detects. It has a clippings collection feature, which means you can use it in areas where the grass is growing along pathways.

Large Lawn Mowers

If your garden is larger than 1.5 acres or has a lot of uneven terrain, you’ll want to purchase a large lawn mower. Large mowers can easily tackle long grass and steep inclines and can usually cut up to 12,000 m2 of lawn.

If you have a large garden, you may also want to consider a ride-on lawn mower. These can be pushed manually or driven with a small engine to create beautifully trimmed lawns with ease, every time.

Have a large garden and don’t want the noise or emissions of a ride-on mower? You may want to consider a walk-behind mower. These are pushed along the ground manually and are available in a wide variety of different models to suit your garden's individual needs.

Riding Lawn Mowers

If your garden is large and you have very uneven terrain, a ride-on lawn mower may be the best option for you. These mowers have powerful engines, so they can tackle large gardens or farmland very comfortably.

They also have a larger cutting width compared to walk-behind mowers, so they can deal with thick, high-growth grass more effectively. You will also benefit from a larger fuel tank, so they don’t have to be refueled as often.

So, sit back, and relax from the comfort of your very own ride-on lawn mower. Check out our range of Ridable Lawn Mowers here.

Lawn Mower Safety

Lawn Mower Safety is an important aspect of lawn care. It is essential to take certain safety precautions to ensure that any potential accidents or injuries are avoided.

• Read the instructions - Before using a lawn mower, it is important to read the instruction manual and understand the operating instructions. This will help to ensure that the lawn mower is used correctly and safely.
• Clean your Lawn Mower Before Use - To reduce the risk of injury, it is important to clear the lawn of any debris or objects, such as rocks, sticks, and toys. Lawnmowers can cause severe injury if these objects are present and hit as they are mowing.
• Keep away from Pets and Children - It is important to ensure that children and pets are at a safe distance from the lawn mower at all times.
• Wear the right safety equipment - Make sure you have the right safety equipment when mowing. This includes wearing protective clothing, such as sturdy shoes or boots, long trousers, and a long-sleeved shirt. You should also wear eye protection, such as goggles or safety glasses, to protect your eyes from flying objects.
• Remove any Objects or Obstacles - Before starting a lawn mower, it is important to ensure that all safety switches are in the on position and that the blade is not in contact with any objects. If the lawn mower has a starting cord, it is important to stand to the side, away from the blade, when pulling the cord.
• Turn the lawn mower off when refueling - It is important to make sure that the blade has stopped moving before attempting to refuel the lawn mower.
