What are the factors that you should consider while buying best lawn grass cutting machine in india ?
- Budget
- Lawn cutting efficiency
- Type of lawn you have installed
- Commercial or individual use
- Maintenance of lawn mower
Before going any further let me tell you that there are only 5 types of lawn grass cutting machine in the market.
- Manual reel mower
- Electric lawn mower
- Petrol lawn mower (With or without self propelled)
- Battery operated lawn mower -We do not recommend this type of lawn mower as it doesn't generate optimum amount of power to cut the grass.
- Brush Trimmer (Trim the grass using nylon thread) - We recommend this only for weeding.
1. Budget
Budget is the most important factor you need to consider while buying lawn grass cutting machine. Because how much efforts are you willing to take while cutting the grass can vary from person to person. Manual reel mower is the cheapest and can be available from Rs. 5,500-7,000. Electric mower can cost you Rs. 15,000-30,000 depending upon the power it can generate while cutting the grass. Petrol mower can cost you Rs. 45,000-75,000.
So if you go for Manual reel mower instead of Electric or Petrol mower you will have to put extra efforts to push the lawn mower to cut the grass efficiently without spending more from your pocket.
2. Lawn cutting Efficiency
What i mean by lawn cutting efficiency is, how sharp the lawn is going to get cut. Best possible way to cut a lawn is clean horizontal cut ! But it can only be achievable by fast moving and sharp blades. If you cut the lawn with dull blade or with less speed, you are going to break the lawn vertically instead of cutting. which will make it look more yellowish and take more time to recover.
3. Type of lawn you have
There are two types of lawn available in the market.
- American Blue / Selection One / Paspalum (Elephant grass)
- Korean Lawn / Taiwan / Bermuda
The above types are not according to variety of lawn. These are all different varieties. The types are according to frequency of cutting and lawn density.
If you have installed American blue or selection one or paspalum, your frequency of lawn cutting will be much higher but cutting the grass is easy comparative to the second group.
Korean, Taiwan or Bermuda has a high density. Because of which using a simple reel mower is very difficult. You can go for electric mower with more power or petrol mower.
4. Commercial or Personal Use
If you want to use the lawn cutting machine commercially, Buy Petrol mower. for Personal use you can go for electric instead of Petrol mower.
5. Maintenance of Lawn mower
Maintenance of Reel mower is much more less compared to Electric or Petrol mower. As you will only have to sharpened the blades in manual reel mower. On the other hand Petrol and Electric mower will need frequent maintenance depending upon how properly a person is using it.
Conclusion
- If you have Less budget, willing to put extra efforts while cutting the grass and have American, Selection one or paspalum Lawn, go for Manual Reel mower
- If you have good budget, and want to use for individual purpose, and want clean and sharp cutting, go for Electric Lawn mower.
