The main parameter underlying the choice of benzocos - engine power. Today, all lawn mowers equipped with an internal combustion engine can be divided into three types: household, semi-professional and professional.

Domestic lawn mowers are equipped with an engine with a capacity of up to 2 horsepower and are ideal for small land plots, a plot area on which does not exceed 8 acres. The cost of the benzokos of this power range varies within 90-130 dollars. Popular devices in this category: Zigzag GS 258 R, PARK GGT-300, Nikkey NK-1390.

The semi-professional equipment is equipped with a power unit with a capacity of 2-4 horsepower and perfectly copes with the lesion of grass on the squares to 18 acres. This product will cost you a minimum of $ 170. But relatively high cost does not indicate that the lawn mower will be perfect.

Such a tool is suitable for cleaning a large uneven or running area, it will allow you to get rid of not only from the grass, but also from the young row of trees.

The width of the capture is an important parameter. What she is more, the less you will have to work. As a rule, this figure is closely interconnected with the previous one: the greater the power is the greater the capture. Household lawn mowers have a slide width to 43 centimeters (Zigzag GS 300 S, Matrix BMS 900-2T, Dolphin Junior 1200), semi-professional and professional - up to 53 centimeters (MTD 990 AST, HUSQVARNA 143R-II).

If you have a large smooth lawn on your site - the optimal solution will be the acquisition of a powerful gasoline mower with a support for 4 wheels. The outer body of such a spit may be made of plastic, steel or aluminum. The last version of the execution combines all the best from the other two: the lightness of plastic and steel strength. Choosing an expensive device, be sure to pay attention to the presence of additional functions. It is good to have a lawn mower capable of automatically adjusting the height of the grass of the grass, for example, Stiga Combi 48 S, Husqvarna R 145SV or VIKING MB 545 VM, because in the absence of such a function, you will have to adjust this parameter yourself, by setting the braid axes manually. You can also use the mulch function - the conversion of bevelled grass into fertilizer by grinding it into small pieces and scatter them on the treated area.

Mowers are manual (Alpina Al3 46 E, Champion LM5127) and self-propelled driven with front or rear wheels. If manual mowers can be used everywhere, then the devices driven by the engine are recommended to be used only on flat areas. If your lawn is located under a slope - the drive lawn mower will cause you a lot of inconvenience because of its greater weight. Front-wheel drive lawn mowers (Husqvarna Jet 55 S, Watt Garden WLM-530H) Manywnly rear-wheel drive (Viking MB 650 VM, Makita ELM4611).
