subject: A Petrol Lawmower, Some Points To Consider Before Buying [print this page] With so many models on the market and lots of famous manufacturing names, it is very tricky to narrow down your choice and find the perfect petrol lawnmower for your requirements. A good way of getting started is to write yourself a checklist of the key attributes that are important to you and then decide on your budget.
If you go to a dealer with your list, he will be delighted to assist and very pleased to be able to eliminate so many possibilities before you even get started. If you are going to buy your petrol lawnmower online, then it is vital to go through these choosing key features steps in order to avoid a costly mistake.
The first decision to make is whether you want a walk behind mower of the push type or one that propels itself or even whether you want to have a riding mower. Then, consider which type of garden you have, is a family garden or is it a show-piece garden with formal lawns? If you have a family garden, a rotary mower will be your best choice by far. If you want to get an immaculate putting-green look to your lawn, you will need a cylinder mower.
Then, consider what you are going to do with the grass clippings. Are you going to want to use them all for making compost? If so, you definitely need to choose a mower with a grass box for collecting the clippings. Are you going to want to use them as mulch on your lawn to feed your grass each time you mow? If so, you will want a mower with a mulching attachment or mulching deck. If you really cannot decide, do not worry, there are models available that will do either, or a bit of both at the same time!
There are many features that make a mower easier to use. Handles that are adjustable will be very useful if you are tall because otherwise you will end up bending when pushing the mower and end up with a bad back. If you haven't got much space to store your mower when it is not in use, choosing one with handles that can be collapsed right down will make things much easier. A pull cord start can often be difficult, especially for lady gardeners so why not make things easy for yourself and choose a model with an electric ignition key start?
Once you have narrowed your selection down to a few models, do a bit more homework, go online and check out reviews from people who have actually bought that same model as you will often unearth problems that will never get mentioned in the sales brochures.
The final thing you need to check out is the width of all your access ways to your lawn. It is absolutely no use deciding on the perfect petrol lawnmower, if you get it home and find you cannot get it through the gateway!
