Push Lawnmowers

Continued:
You may be thinking that a push mower sounds like nothing but more work and a potential hassle, but push mowers offer some advantages over other mowers that you may not have realized. Perhaps the most obvious advantage of a push mower is its quiet operation and environmental friendliness. With a push mower, you can actually achieve a finer cut for the yard. If you have ever wondered how the turf of a golf course or football field is so evenly and closely cut, it has likely been done with a "reel" mower. Reel mowers are mostly seen in the push mower variety, where a user simply pushes the mower along, the wheels turning to power the blade. On large lots such as that of a golf course, a reel assembly might be towed behind a tractor. A reel mower consists of a spiral of blades that move with the wheels to push the grass towards an adjustable cutting bar. A push mower can typically achieve a much closer cut than a powered rotary blade. Rotary blade mowers usually cut to a height of at least 2 inches - any lower than that, and the repeated contact with the blades will damage the roots of the grass causing you to have a brown and patchy yard. With a push mower, the grass is gently cut only once as it passes through the cutting bar. This allows the grass to be cut much closer to the ground without damaging the roots. If you want a perfectly cut lawn, then consider a push mower to get the best results possible. Push mowers are not suitable for every situation. Yards that are heavily sloped, contain a lot of sticks and leaves, or that have high grass will not work well with a push mower. If clearing the yard of sticks, leaves, and stones sounds like too much work, then you may want to reconsider getting a push mower.
