Min. cutting height
The minimum cutting height provided by the lawnmower — that is, the smallest height of grass that can remain after the passage of the machine. It makes sense to pay attention to this indicator mainly in cases where the lawn is planned to be cut as short as possible. In addition, the lower the minimum height (with the same maximum), the wider the height adjustment range of this model.
Max. cutting height
The maximum cutting height that the lawn mower can achieve is the maximum height of grass that can be left after the machine has passed.
This parameter is relevant mainly for those cases when you want to leave the grass on the lawn relatively long. In addition,
lawn mowers with high cutting heights have a wide range of mowing adjustments.
Recommended area
The area of the site for which the lawn mower is designed. It cannot be argued that this parameter is critical when choosing a device, these are only manufacturer's recommendations and are very conditional. However, they are more than justified and generally show the available front of work based on the heating of the motor, the capacity of the tank or battery, and other factors that affect the duration of work.
Mulching
Possibility of work of a lawn-mower in the mode of a mulching.
Mulching is the chopping and automatic spreading of mowed grass over the site. This is one of the most convenient and at the same time practical methods of vegetation disposal. So, it does not need to be collected, and the resulting coating (mulch) performs a number of useful functions: it fertilizes the soil, reduces its heating and evaporation of moisture in hot weather, and also keeps the top layer loose.
Note that some lawn mowers allow you to use a nozzle purchased separately for mulching. However, such models are not included in this category: mulching in our catalog is indicated only for models that support this function out of the box.
Bag volume
The volume of the grass clipping bag supplied with the lawn mower. Manufacturers select this volume depending on the power, performance and overall level of the unit, however, similar models may differ in this indicator. In such cases, it is worth considering that a larger bag takes longer to fill and needs to be unloaded less often, but it weighs more and takes up more space (even when empty). Mostly the difference in the volume of the bag is 5 liters and there are
lawn mowers for 35,
40,
45,
50, 55,
60,
65,
70 and more liters.
Motor model
Model of the engine installed in the lawn mower. The main performance data of the engine is usually indicated in the general data for the unit. However, knowing the exact name of the motor, you can find more detailed information on it — from specific data to reviews and reviews. Also, data on the engine model can be useful when searching for spare parts or consumables.
Front wheel diameter
The diameter of the front wheels of the unit. For more information about this parameter, see "Rear wheel diameter" — everything written there is true in this case. We only note that the front wheels relatively rarely have their own drive, so the diameter for them is not as important as for the rear ones.
Rear wheel diameter
The diameter of the rear wheels of the unit.
Larger wheels, on the one hand, increase cross-country ability and allow you to effectively overcome pits, bumps and other obstacles on rough terrain. On the other hand, they cost more, are more expensive, and in self-propelled models, they also require more traction from the engine.
This indicator is often determined by the type of lawn mower (see above). So, mowers and riders, by definition, have large wheels, because they are designed for difficult terrain, and in a minitractor, the wheels must also withstand a fairly significant weight. But
robotic lawn mowers, on the contrary, are used mainly on flat surfaces with low grass, and they do not need large wheels.
If you have to choose among classic lawn mowers, where this parameter can be different, you should proceed from the planned working conditions. So, if we are talking about a flat lawn — you can not pay much attention to this indicator; but for rough terrain with pits, tubercles, ditches, etc., you should choose larger wheels — from 25 cm or more.
