Brief conclusions of the comparison lawn mowers

Lawn mowers BELARUS MTZ KG-3100M and MTZ KG-3100 have similar characteristics, but there are several key differences. The MTZ KG-3100M has a cutting width of 38 cm, while the MTZ KG-3100 boasts a 42 cm width, making the latter more efficient for larger areas. Both devices are equipped with a 3100W electric motor and a rotary cutting system, but the MTZ KG-3100 offers soft start, which can make starting and operation easier. The weight of the KG-3100 is 5.3 kg, slightly heavier than the KG-3100M (5.1 kg). Neither trimmer has a grass collection bag or supports mulching. The choice between them may depend on preference for cutting width and ease of start-up.

Cutting width

The capture width provided by the unit, in other words, the width of the strip of land cultivated in one pass. In fact, this size corresponds to the width of the working nozzle.

The large working width is useful when processing large open spaces, as it allows you to finish the job in a small number of passes. On the other hand, for hard-to-reach places, relatively narrow tools are better suited, able to go where a wider unit will not fit. In addition, the width of the tool directly affects the weight and price.

In general, it makes sense to compare in terms of working width only units of the same type (see above). However, it is worth noting here that trimmers do not differ so much from each other — most models capture from 25 to 45 cm (and a wide processing band is provided by moving the nozzle from side to side). As for the other types, in the most modest models the capture width does not exceed 40 cm, in the heaviest and most powerful it can be 56 – 60 cm or even more(in mini tractors — up to 1.5 m).

Soft start

The presence of a soft start system in the lawn mower engine.

The design features of electric motors are such that when power is applied directly, the start occurs very abruptly — both in a mechanical and electrical sense. Firstly, the engine itself spins up in a jerk, in a very short time, which increases the wear of its parts. Secondly, at the moment of start-up, there is a sharp jump in current strength, which creates significant loads on the power grid (or the batteries of the unit). The soft start system eliminates these phenomena: it limits the starting current, allowing the motor to accelerate smoothly and preventing voltage surges.

On the other hand, additional electronic circuits affect the cost, sometimes quite significantly. So there are few models with this feature nowadays, and you should pay attention to them mainly in cases where the mentioned advantages are of fundamental importance — for example, if the device is purchased for a house with weak wiring that does not tolerate voltage surges.
