Lawn Mower Types Reviewed

There are several distinct kinds of lawn mowers.

When you start considering investing in a new mower you will most probably check out some lawn mower reviews and very quickly notice that you have got many options available to you in addition to the precise type of mower (for example cost, size, and the like). That said, it can be fair to say that the type of lawn mower you're thinking about purchasing is the biggest component involved. Cost, size, and whatever else becomes unimportant if you start researching commercial zero-turn mowers when you just have a 20ft lawn.

It really is very important to have a brief examination of the different types of lawn mowers and lawn tractors before you decide to start looking through reviews, allowing you to appreciate the fundamental facts surrounding them, like whether the mower you are looking to buy runs on a horizontal axis (known as a cylinder, or reel) or vertical axis (known as a rotary mower). Here are my various types of lawn mower reviews.

Reel/cylinder (horizontal axis) - Reel/cylinder mowers may be human-powered, but they are often mixed together with an internal combustion engine.
The best selling commercial walk behind mowers (one you push); the horizontal lawn mower blade axis can make reel/cylinder mowers a superb all-rounder. They would represent little use on commercial lawns, however for a little household lawn they can be excellent.

Rotary (vertical axis) - Vertical rotary blades are very formidable, and subsequently more often than not they must be driven by an internal combustion engine. That said, electric rotary machines are increasingly becoming a lot more common.
The key downside to rotary mowers is thanks to the vertical axis they don't collect the grass cuttings. You may have to allow it to lay or you may need to bag the cuttings to help keep the newly cut lawn looking tidy.
Like with reel/cylinder mowers, a majority of these would be of very little use on commercial lawns, nevertheless for a little home lawn they can be perfect.

Hover - Hover mowers are powered rotary push mowers that use a turbine engine across the rotating blades to generate air straight down so to create an air cushion, lifting the mower over the ground.
Hover mowers are very good for huge commercial lawns, parks and fields, and even for high grass areas. They're even in a position to cut things such as shrubs due to their power to hover.

Ride-on (also known as riding, or lawn tractors) - These are typically really popular for large commercial lawns, school fields and parks. The person working with the mower can sit on top of it, handling the mower and literally riding it.
Many riding mowers take advantage of the horizontal (reel) rotating blade system, with a large number of blades.
