One in particular is Ferris Mowers who offers six types of lawn mowers that can full-fill any gardener's needs. Since there are a number of types of mowers offered, some may better suit your needs than others. Let's review what's available.
The 6 Types of Lawn Mowers
Cylinder - This type of mower is named after its design. This mower has a cylinder that has several horizontal blades which spin around it as the mower is pushed. The adjustment of the cylinder determines the how the cut will look. This particular mower is best for lawns in which the ground surface is smooth. Cylinder mowers can have the blades turned by a motor or hand driven as its pushed.
Hover - Hover mowers are best for smaller lawns. The mowers are typically electric and petrol-driven (gas-driven) options. This mower is so named because the blade is very close to the ground. If you have a small, somewhat leveled area and would like an inexpensive, lightweight and quiet mower than this is the one for you.
Ride-on - Oh wouldn't some of us like to have one of these! There are either 2 or 3 rotary cutting blades. Ride-ons can also be called lawn tractors or zero-turn mowers.
Rotary Electric - This type of mower is low maintenance, relatively inexpensive, lightweight and quiet. The typical downside to electric mowers is that sometimes there isn't sufficient power and keeping the electrical cord clear can be a challenge. Ferris Mowers understands this and offers mowers with a rechargeable battery. If you can keep your lawn regularly trimmed and don't need the power, then electric may be the way to go.
Rotary Petrol - Also called 'drum mower', these are more expensive than the electric version as well as being heavier and noisier. Some come equipped with a 3 hp motor which gives sufficient power to make cutting your lawn a breeze. Two and 4-stroke versions are available.
Self-propelled - This type is super nice as it assists moving across the lawn without have to manually push the mower the entire time. The petrol motor must offer ample power as it needs to power both the spinning of the rotor blades and to turn the wheels.
There are no two lawns that are alike and not every mower will be able to handle every yard. Ferris Mowers offers a quality types of lawn mowers to ensure that every lawn can be properly maintained with the right mower.
