All You Need to Know About Walk Behind Lawn Mowers

Walk Behind Lawn Mowers

Reel mowers are the ever popular model that actually was the first usable lawn mower produced. They used to be heavy and hard to handle, but that has changed drastically. Reel mowers have made a comeback because they are perfect for today's landscape. It's not your grandfather's lawn mower -- the today's reel mower is extremely easy to push and they are the lightest and most quiet mowers around.

Push mowers are the cheapest option for a motorized mower and the maintenance is low and easy. You should look for a model with large wheels (high wheel) for the best maneuverability, adjustable cutting height and low weight.The engine is usually 3 - 5.5 HP and the cutting width is 18 - 22in.

Self-propelled mowers are slightly more expensive, heavier and they have more wearing parts. However, if you only need to add $150 - $200 to get the self-propelled type you shouldn't even think twice if your lawn has slopes.Most self-propelled mowers have rear wheel drive and that combined with large rear wheels is the best option.Engines are usually 4.5 - 7 HP and the cutting width is normally 21 - 22in.
