How to choose a mower for tall grass?

Summer goes on as usual, as the grass grows on the plots. On today's agenda is the topic of processing the site, more precisely, mowing grass. Namely: consider the mowing of tall grass. When cutting just such vegetation, you need to be careful and know some features if you have recently started using garden equipment.

Let's consider the main types of tools for working with a lawn.

• Cultivators - differ in that they have a simple structure. They work, as a rule, on internal combustion engines (ICE). Sufficient power allows them to cope with summer cottage work at a decent level. Great for weeds. Their advantage is also in the operating time. They can work for a long time, which is suitable for large areas.

• Lawn mowers - a more functional and complex representative of garden equipment. They differ in the type of power supply (electric and fuel), and they are self-propelled and non-self-propelled. A quality lawn mower will help you create a very even and well-groomed lawn. The main difference from trimmers is that lawn mowers have wheels.

• Trimmers - brushcutters that can be used even on uneven areas. Due to the fact that a person directly moves with him, this gives mobility. Among land owners, the tendency to use trimmers is increasingly emerging, since, unlike lawn mowers, they allow you to remove grass in hard-to-reach places, and professional mowers can even help process tree branches. There is a choice of cutting elements: disc or line.

Another plus of the trimmer is the ability to work at height and cut branches, which can also greatly help in cleaning on your territory.

Since trimmers are electric and gasoline, you will need to organize their work depending on their type. Electric should be plugged into the power supply and charged if it is not charged, and gasoline should be refueled if required.

In order to mow a lawn with tall grass efficiently and quickly, you need to follow the technology and know some features that will save you time and effort. You can work faster.

First of all, divide the area into zones. This will help you understand how much volume you need to accomplish. And also you will not have delusions as to whether you have already worked in this territory, and whether you are not passing a second time.

If we are talking about the mowing height, then usually it is 4-5 cm. For a more beautiful lawn, you can take up to 3-4 cm, but this will require special equipment.

It is necessary to select the mower that will be more convenient for you in the country. Do not forget about gasoline emissions for gasoline models and access to the mains for electric ones. The pros and cons of electric and petrol models are the same as for trimmers. Some need a close and constant source of electricity (or the use of carriers, which is not very convenient), others need to dilute the fuel in a special proportion.

Special attention is required here. Tall grass needs more thorough cultivation than a lawn... The fact is that there is an effect of winding the vegetation onto a coil. In this case, the grass remains on it and will not allow the mechanism to rotate at full power. This significantly slows down the process.

To prevent this from happening, go through the path in several stages. Gradually cut a certain amount down the height, going down and down the stem. As a rule, the tall greenery has a much thicker and stronger base of the stem, therefore In addition to winding, you can damage the cutting element with hard stems.

It should also be borne in mind that if your technique has been working recently, then you need to mow especially powerful and tall grass gradually. On average, work can last about 15 minutes, then rest for the same amount of time.

Since it is better to mow the grass in several stages, then do not forget about the grass catcher and other filters. They will start to clog very quickly and this will lead to problems with the tool. Clean completely so that it does not take too long before the next cleaning.

And also you can work with such tools not only on grass, which can be hard and powerful, but also on other accumulations of vegetation. For example, weeds. But since it can be long, it is important for a trimmer, for example, that the grass does not get wrapped around the rotating mechanism.

Choose according to your budget and based on the type of site. Somewhere the grass is softer, somewhere harder. Do not forget also if you are going to use this tool often.

Among the main parameters that you may come across when choosing a tool may be:

1. power;
2. number of revolutions;
3. number of functions;
4. price;
5. types of equipment.

The choice should be based on the amount of work.

If we are talking about manufacturers, then among lawn mowers and trimmers we can name the following:

• Huter;
• Daewoo;
• Champion;
• Patriot;
• Bosch;
• DDE;
• Viking;
• AS-Motor.

There are many manufacturers of garden equipment. Not all are listed here, only a list of those who are quite often found on the modern market is published.

If you make a choice in favor of environmental friendliness and buy electrical equipment, then do not forget that such equipment cannot be operated in rain conditions - this can cause damage due to a short circuit. This also applies to dew, especially if the engine is underneath.

If we talk about types of fuel, then this AI-92 gasoline, and SAE 10W-30 oil. Stir fuel (oil with gasoline) in a ratio of 1 to 50. That is 1 liter of gasoline should take 20 ml of oil.

The choice is limited only by your position and your site. The main thing is not to forget about safety precautions and about the features of your device. The mower can be harmful if used improperly.

Consider and study possible options responsibly and in case of any breakdown, contact specialists who know their business. Technique is a serious thing that can both help and harm.
