Professional Lawn Mower Buyer’s Guide

Choosing a professional lawn mower is a tricky task. You need unrivaled durability, great efficiency, low cost of maintenance and easy storage. On top of all this, the grass needs to be mown to a standard rivaling the gardens of Buckingham Palace!

Unsure where to even start? Here’s our guide to finding the best professional lawn mower.

Design

Lawn mowers come in a range of designs. Cylinder mowers like Hayter Harrier 41 Autodrive Lawn Mower have blades that rotate vertically at the front of the mower. These are ideal for flat and small lawns but lack the power of rotary or hover mowers.

Rotary lawn mowers have a single blade and are the most versatile. They are better at cutting longer grass and can be powered by electricity, battery or petrol. These are more expensive but generally very durable and perfect for professional environments.

Finally, there’s hover mowers. These hover above the ground making them extremely easy to use. They’re great for mowing tricky areas but can lack the power of petrol lawn mowers.

Cutting Width and Height

Cutting width refers to how wide an area it can cut in one movement. Professional lawn mowers for large areas should have a cutting width of at least 40cm, but if you have a smaller area to mow the width can be less.

Most mowers will offer a range of cutting heights to suit the area you’re mowing. Some have a choice of 3 cutting heights but many professional lawn mowers will have up to 9.

Handle Comfort

Handle comfort is essential if you’re going to be mowing for long periods of time. Look for a padded ergonomic handle and ensure it’s the right height so you’re not slouched over. For carrying around and storage, many mowers will have folding handles.

Grass Collection Capacity

The best lawn mowers will have up to 4 grass collection options to choose from. If you’d like to collect clippings, ensure the bag included with the mower is large enough so it doesn’t need frequent emptying.

Others will deposit the grass to either the side or rear, or mulch the grass inside the machine and then release it. This is great if you want to keep the area looking green, but most professional venues will use the collection function.

Ease of Movement

Hover motors are usually the most lightweight so easiest to move, but self propelled mowers like Hayter Harrier-48 Lawn Mower are also very easy to use. Look for one that moves forward independently so all you need to do is steer. If you have a tricky area to mow, for example around trees or sculptures, a hover mower is one of the best options.

Weight

The weight won’t have a huge impact on the mowing ability, as the heavier mowers will all be self propelled so feel very light. However, a lightweight mower will be easier to move once it’s turned off.

Power

Mowers are generally powered by either mains electricity, battery or petrol. Electric lawn mowers have a cord so won’t be suitable for larger commercial gardens or areas. Cordless lawn mowers like Lawnmaster Lawn Mower offer the same benefits without the worry of a cable. These do have a rechargeable battery but if you have a large area to mow in a short amount of time you won’t want to keep stopping to charge it!

Finally, there’s petrol mowers like Flymo XL500 Lawn Mower. These are most commonly professional lawn mowers and are a great choice for large gardens. They deliver a high standard of cut with ease, and are easy to manoeuvre around trees and other objects.

Conclusion

Choosing the right professional lawn mower is a tricky task, as once purchased it should last for years. The KJRJG Gasoline Lawn Mower ticks all the boxes, with incredible durability, self propelled movement and up to 8 speed height adjustments. Perfect for any professional venue.
