What is a lawn mower
The lawn mower was invented in England in 1805. There are many aliases, such as weeder, lawnmower, lawn trimmer, and so on. It is mainly a mechanical tool for building lawns and vegetation, which is essentially a tool for improving efficiency. Machines that save time and reduce human resources.
The structure of the lawn mower: cutter head, engine, traveling wheel, traveling mechanism, blade, handrail, control part.
Classification and brand introduction of lawn mowers
1. Classify according to the way of collecting grass: bagging, side unloading, covering
Bagging is to cut the grass and put it into a bag, collect it and then process it
Advantages: It can take grass clippings out, make room for light and water, is beneficial to photosynthesis, and restores growth.
Disadvantages: more troublesome, but also to deal with bagged grass.
Side discharge is where the cut grass is discharged through the side opening of the cutting deck onto the already mowed lawn
Pros: The most energy-efficient way to mow, and easy to handle.
Disadvantages: Grass clippings are left directly on the lawn, which is not conducive to the growth and recovery of grass.
Mulching means that after the grass is mowed, it is sent to the deck for secondary cutting, and it becomes short grass clippings that are discharged on the grass as fertilizer and provide nutrients.
Advantages: It is easy to handle, and it also provides growth nutrients for grass.
Cons: Expensive and costly
2. Classification according to the propulsion method: hand push type, self-propelled type
The biggest difference between the two is whether there is a transmission.
The walk-behind lawn mower has no transmission device, and the engine only provides power for the blades, so it needs to rely on the user to use his own strength to perform operations such as moving forward and turning. Relatively laborious.
The self-propelled vehicle is equipped with a transmission device, and the engine provides power for the blades and driving wheels. You only need to hold the handle to steer, which saves effort.
3. Classification according to driving power mode: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive
Front-wheel drive: Less traction, when in use, raise the front wheels above the ground to turn, suitable for flat terrain
Rear-wheel drive: Greater traction than front-wheel drive, best for uphill mowing and side slope mowing, but bulkier and troublesome to turn
All-wheel drive: It has the advantages of both, it can be used on slopes, and can freely enter and exit corners, but the price is high.
