Motor type

The type of engine that drives the cutting tool of the lawn mower, and in self-propelled models, the device itself. At the moment, the following types of engines are used:

— Electric (mains). Mains powered motor. Its advantages are low noise level, low cost and ease of operation (no need to buy fuel and oil) and no emissions into the atmosphere. Among the shortcomings can be called a relatively small power and a short range, limited by the length of the power cord.

— Electric (battery). Electric motor powered by its own built-in battery. It has all the same advantages as a mains-powered motor; in addition, such devices are not limited in movement, since they do not require a network connection during operation. On the other hand, the battery life of battery lawn mowers rarely exceeds half an hour, the battery weighs a lot and takes a long time to charge, and the power of such devices is even lower than that of network ones (despite the fact that they are noticeably more expensive).

Petrol. Gasoline internal combustion engine. The advantages of such engines, in comparison with electric ones, are independence from the mains connection and high power, which allows you to work with dense thick vegetation. On the other hand, gasoline engines are heavier, more expensive to run, require the purchase of fuel and lubricants, and emit exhaust gases...into the air.

— Diesel. A type of internal combustion engine. In terms of basic features, diesel engines are almost identical to those described above, but they also have their own characteristics. On the one hand, in such units it is easier to provide high power and good torque, so they are better suited for "heavy" tasks; and diesel fuel is cheaper than gasoline. On the other hand, diesel engines themselves are more expensive, heavier and more difficult to operate. Therefore, they are not particularly popular among lawn mowers, this option is found mainly in riders (see "Type"), where high power is more important than the mentioned disadvantages.

— Gas. A rare variety of internal combustion engines that use a propane-butane mixture of gas as fuel. Their advantages over gasoline units are economical consumption, high mowing performance, and a small amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. In addition, gas fuel reduces the load on the engine, which, in turn, prolongs its operational life. The reverse side of the coin is the need to fill the cylinder with liquefied hydrocarbon gases at specialized filling complexes or the frequent replacement of gas cartridges.

Without engine(manual). Lawnmowers that are not equipped with any motors and use the muscular strength of the user — when working, it is necessary to push the device in front of you. The advantages of such a scheme are low cost (both the device itself and its operation), independence from fuel and electricity, and maximum environmental friendliness; disadvantages are the relatively low quality of work and the significant expenditure of physical strength.

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).

ICE type

Scheme of operation of an internal combustion engine installed on a lawn mower. Note that this division is relevant only for gasoline engines (see "Engine type") — diesel engines are extremely rare and are made only four-stroke.

— 2-stroke. The main advantages of two-stroke engines over four-stroke ones are the simplicity of the device and higher power with the same working volume, due to which such units are lighter, more compact and cheaper. On the other hand, they consume more fuel and are distinguished by a high level of noise, and such an engine needs to be filled with a mixture of gasoline and oil in the correct proportion, which complicates maintenance somewhat (there are separate refueling systems, but they are complex and expensive, which is why they are almost never used ). As a result, this option is found mainly among trimmers (see "Type"): it is there that small dimensions and weight are decisive, and the required power and fuel consumption are relatively low.

4-stroke. Engines of this type are somewhat more complicated and more expensive than two-stroke ones; in addition, to achieve the same power, they need more volume, which affects the size and weight. On the other hand, if the engine does not need to be "carried in the hands" (as is the case with trimmers), these points do not really matter; and the difference in price, thanks to the development of technology, is becoming less and less noticeable. Wit...h all this, four-stroke engines are quieter and consume less fuel. As a result, almost all units where a relatively large and heavy internal combustion engine can be installed are equipped with this particular type of engine. And relatively recently, light and compact engines have appeared, suitable even for trimmers.

Motor model

Model of the engine installed in the lawn mower. The main performance data of the engine is usually indicated in the general data for the unit. However, knowing the exact name of the motor, you can find more detailed information on it — from specific data to reviews and reviews. Also, data on the engine model can be useful when searching for spare parts or consumables.

Motor power

Lawnmower engine power expressed in horsepower. The common unit of power these days is the watt, but gasoline and diesel engines (see "Engine Type") are traditionally referred to as hp. Some units are easy to convert to others: 1 hp. approximately equal to 735 watts.

In general, the more powerful the engine, the more performant the mower is and the better it handles with heavy work such as cutting thick grass, bushes, etc. On the other hand, high power has a corresponding effect on fuel consumption, as well as the weight and price of the engine. In addition, it should be taken into account that different types of mowers (see "Type") differ in terms of power requirements. For example, among trimmers there are many models with a capacity of 0.7 – 1.3 hp., for gasoline lawn mowers, the minimum power is already in the range of 1.3 – 2 hp., and for mowers, at least 2.5 hp is required. . So you can only compare units of the same type in terms of power. Detailed recommendations for choosing a mower depending on its type and features of the planned work can be found in special sources.

Fuel tank volume

The volume of the fuel tank in a gasoline or diesel mower (see "Engine type").

A large tank allows you to work longer without refueling, but an excessive increase in capacity affects the dimensions and weight of the entire unit. So manufacturers usually select this indicator taking into account the power and fuel consumption of a particular engine, and in general, the volume of the tank is not critical when choosing. However, knowing the tank capacity and fuel consumption (see above), you can estimate how much one refueling will approximately last.

Noise level

The level of noise produced by the device during operation. Usually, a certain average indicator is indicated in the characteristics — in the standard mode of operation; however, the actual values usually do not differ much from the claimed ones.

The lower the noise level, the more convenient the unit to use and the less tired the operator. In the case of lawn mowers, this is especially true, since such equipment is quite noisy — even the quietest models (some robots) give out about 47 – 48 dB, which is comparable to talking at an average volume. Note that the decibel is a non-linear quantity, and it is easiest to evaluate the actual loudness using comparative tables. Here is the simplest table for the values found in modern lawn mowers:

— 60 – 65 dB — talking in raised tones at a distance of about 1 m;
70 dB — loud conversation of several people at the same distance;
75 dB — loud laughter at a distance of 1 m;
80 dB — motorcycle engine, medium power vacuum cleaner.
90 dB — loud screams, freight car at a distance of 7 – 10 m;
100 dB — a subway train or a loud car signal at a distance of 5 – 7 m, an industrial workshop;
110 dB — tractor engine at a distance of about 1 m.

In addition to subjective sensations, there are specific sanitary standards that limit the impact of strong noise. So, according to European standards, noise of 85 dB is allowed to be heard without protective equipment for 8 hours, 91 dB — 2 hours, 97...dB — half an hour, and 103 dB — only 7 minutes. So when choosing a unit, you should take into account the duration of work with it — with high noise, you may need protective headphones.
