Hitachi lawn mowers and trimmers: models, pros and cons, tips for choosing
Currently, many people are buying their summer cottages. Lawn mowers should be used to properly care for them. Today we will talk about the Hitachi brand technique, which thousands of summer residents have already tried out.
Advantages and disadvantages
Lawn mowers of the Japanese brand Hitachi have a number of important advantages:
- ease of use;
- high level of wear resistance;
- decent quality level;
- correspondence of quality and cost.
The products of this company are considered to be very durable and of high quality.
She is capable of excellent processing of large land plots. In addition, many models are equipped with a special noise reduction system.
Also, some samples have an enlarged fuel tank, which allows continuous use of the device for a long time.
Despite the many advantages, Hitachi equipment also has some disadvantages:
- high cost of repair work;
- relatively high price compared to budget models of lawn mowers.
Device
Hitachi equipment can be produced with two types of engines: two-stroke or four-stroke. The first variety has a simple principle of operation, it has a relatively small mass, but at the same time it is considered quite productive.
The four-stroke engine is large in size. The cost of such a device is quite high. But at the same time it is as economical and quiet as possible. The necessary component is also a special power regulator. All professional and semi-professional models of lawn mowers are equipped with such a mechanism.
The mowing system is equally important. A special nylon line is most often used as such a mechanism. But it is designed for cutting only small young grass.
For mowing shrubs and tall grass, special knives are used. As a rule, they come together with the device.
For more comfortable work, these lawn mowers are equipped with belts. Knapsack straps are most commonly used. They are able to evenly distribute the entire load during operation.
Each model has its own type of rod. It can be curved or straight. The first type is suitable if you want to work on land with various obstacles or irregularities. The second type is used on flat terrain.
In addition, any design has its own gearbox. It is designed to quickly convert rotating movements with mechanical transmissions. Wheels, a grass ejection unit, special containers for collection and a damper spring, designed to reduce vibrations during the operation of the tool, occupy an important place in the manufacture of such equipment.
Fuel-fueled vehicles also have a starter that is required for a mechanical first start.
Similar mechanisms are produced with a fuel tank, the dimensions of which must be taken into account when measuring the proportions of fuel and oil.
Gasoline mowers are equipped with fuel hoses, piston systems and special mechanisms for feeding and igniting fuel. Electrical samples are made with an electric motor. Battery units are distinguished into a separate group. In such models, a battery pack acts as a power source, which should be periodically recharged from a stationary network.

How to choose?
There are a few things to consider before buying the right model. So, be sure to consider the area that you are going to handle with the mower. After all, each individual model is designed for mowing grass from a site of a certain size.
Consider the type of terrain as well. After all, not all equipment will be able to process difficult areas with irregularities and obstacles. When choosing suitable equipment, pay attention to the noise level during operation. Currently, models are available with special systems that allow you to make the mowing of vegetation as quiet as possible.
The performance level also needs to be taken into account. It is directly related to the power of the instrument.
Large or medium-sized areas are best mowed with gasoline-powered lawn mowers, as they can work non-stop for a long time. Electric models may not be able to keep up with this pace.
The level of security is equally important. Remember that lawn mowers emit a lot of exhaust gases during operation. Electrical equipment does not emit such substances. Pay attention to the weight of the tool. Gasoline lawn mowers are heavy due to their heavy, powerful motor. Such devices are much more difficult to operate than electrical ones.
When working with gasoline models, there is too much load on the human hand, so it will be difficult to work with such equipment for too long. Electric varieties are more maneuverable, so they are easier to control, they walk smoothly over the terrain.
