A grass mower is a very necessary tool for owners of summer cottages. However, acquiring it is not so simple. The fact is that there are a large number of different models of these devices, and it is easy to get confused in such an abundance. When choosing a tool, first of all, you need to decide on whether it should be mechanical or work on gasoline (from the mains).
Consider the first type of apparatus in more detail. So, a mechanical drum mower for grass works on the principle of scissors. All parts of this device are made of lightweight materials that are durable and reliable. In addition, the cost of such equipment is low enough to be affordable even for the most modest budget. In its design, the tool has movable and fixed knives. In the first case, the elements are bent along the guide of the drum. Due to this, the length of the cutting surface is significantly increased. Such a grass mower moves with the wheels.
This tool has certain advantages: low cost and low weight, it does not need additional energy sources, in addition, it effectively copes with medium-height grass. You can use the equipment in any weather, even in rain, because the knives are able to cut both dry and wet greens.
A grass mower is a very convenient equipment. Some models may have additional bags for collecting greens, so you will not have to rake it later. But you should consider the disadvantages of the device. First of all, it can only be used on flat surfaces. Do not use the mower in areas where there are plants with hard stems. The fact is that to mow them you will have to make a lot of efforts, and there is no guarantee that you will succeed.
If thick greens grow on the plot, then the mower for tall grass of the “chopping” type is ideal for work. She is able to clean even dead wood and small bushes. At the same time, the grass is chopped, so it can no longer be harvested for hay.
In addition to the presented mechanical devices, there are also gasoline and electric devices. The main working body in such structures is a sharp metal plate (disc or thick fishing line). Such a
manual grass
mower works using an additional power source. The advantage of this device is its high performance. In addition, for them it does not matter what terrain the terrain has. The cutting part in the device can be changed, so you have the opportunity to mow not only grass, but also bushes, and even small trees. One of the disadvantages of the device is that it cannot have a bag for collecting greenery (due to the design). In addition, the device is quite noisy and vibrates a lot.
There is another hand tool called a trimmer. Thanks to him, you can quickly and easily look after the lawns, while you do not need to put much effort.
