HERE ARE THREE EASY STEPS TO HELP

YOU SELECT THE RIGHT MOWER.

STEP 1: Determine your mowing and

equipment needs.

Choosing the right lawn mower has a lot to

do with how you will use it. Although lawns

come in all shapes and sizes, there are

basically three different applications for a

lawn mower.

1. Simple mowing and trimming –

usually for small yards that are mown

frequently where no mulching or

bagging is needed; may also apply to

larger lawns where the majority of

more extensive cutting is handled by a

riding mower.

Equipment – Typically push mowers,

side-discharge, limited functionality.

2. Small, manicured lawns – Well-

tended lawns that are mown

frequently, where bagging and

mulching are important.

Equipment – push or self-propelled

mowers, with full functionality, ease of

use and convenient features.

3. Difficult mowing conditions – Areas

with hills, obstacles, large spaces,

wet, thick or tall grass.

Equipment – Rear-drive, self-

propelled, fully functional, wide cut.

STEP 2: Determine your cutting

power needs.

The more cutting power a lawn mower has,

the more easily it will maintain the speed of

the blade delivering a consistent, quality cut.

Lower cutting power offers basic mowing on

a budget. Once you decide how you will use

your mower, buy the mower with the greatest

cutting power you can afford with the

features need. Cutting power is a combination

of three things – engine size, engine

configuration, and mower configuration.

Engine size – in combination with the engine

configuration, the size of the engine is the

most important factor in how the mower

handles demanding jobs. Engine size is

measured in cc’s or cubic centimeters. The

more cc’s, the more cutting power it provides.

Engine configuration – lawn mowers

equipped with engines designed with

overhead valves offer more power than those

without OHV engines regardless of size or

configuration. OHV engines run more

smoothly and efficiently, are quieter and

better for the environment.

Mower configuration – the deck is the area

of the lawn mower that houses the blade. The

larger the deck, the longer the blade and

more area you can cover with each pass. A

larger deck can reduce cutting time but may

require more power to be effective so look for

a larger OHV engine on a larger deck.

Bagging – a rear bag is easier to empty and

makes the mower easier to maneuver around

obstacles. Both bagging and mulching require

a mower with more power, so if you are

planning to do either, look for a larger OHV

engine.

STEP 3: Determine what type of mower

is right for you.

Gas-Powered Mower

• Great for tall, thick grass and

rough terrain.

• Combines yardwork with

moderate exercise.

Self-Propelled Mower

• Assisted by a drive train that

propels the mower.

• Reduces physical effort.

Electric/Cordless Mower

• Lightweight, quiet, and nearly

effortless to start and maintain.

• Does not use gasoline or oil, which

eliminates harmful exhausts.

Front Wheel Drive (FWD)

• Offers satisfactory traction on flat

terrain with shorter grasses. Allows the

operator to turn the mower without

releasing the transmission.

Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)

• Offers superior traction on all terrains

and thick grass, even as the bag fills

or the operator guides the mower up

an incline.

High Wheel or Low Wheel

• If your lawn is relatively flat and

smooth, a low-wheel mower should be

adequate to meet your needs. If you’ll

be mowing over rough/uneven terrain,

consider a high wheel mower. The

larger wheels will provide easier

maneuverability and make those

bumps easier to manage.

easier.

Not all features available on all models.

SMALL YARD

Push Mowers

If your yard is 1/4 of an acre or less with flat land,

push mowers are a good choice.

MEDIUM YARD

Self-Propelled Mowers

If you have a larger yard (up to 1/2 of an acre) or

have hilly terrain, consider a self-propelled,

walk-behind mower.
