5 Tips for Buying Your Next Lawn Mower

Even though most states are experiencing a cold front at the moment, you may already be thinking about your next big purchase for when the weather is warmer – a lawn mower. Now’s a great time to start researching the topic and deciding which lawn mower is best for your needs. Here are some tips to consider when it comes time to buy your next lawn mower.

Age

If you’ve had the same mower for the last decade or more, chances are you may be ready for a replacement. Even with scheduled tune-ups and replacements, you may not be getting the best lawn cutting experience from your dated device. New mowers come with improved features and capabilities that make it easier to get more done in less time and with less work. So it’s worth it to consider an upgrade and put those holiday gift cards to use on a new lawn mower. You may even be able to score a deal if your store is making room for the newest models arriving for 2018.

Power

One of the top reasons to upgrade your lawn mower is to get more power. Better power from your lawn mower will allow you to do bigger and tougher cutting jobs with ease. Most walk-mower engines range from 140-cc to 190-cc. Also consider drive options that make it easier to move the machine around. A lever-operated drive is best for getting around plants and doing lots of maneuvers with ease.

Consider the Perks

The new features available for lawn mowers today, especially push mowers, make them a great choice. When shopping around be sure to pick up a mower that also mulches and picks up clippings as you go to reduce your workload. You should also be looking for mowers that have a deeper deck, this will make it possible to keep moving through the lawn and cutting it without the clippings getting clumped up and slowing you down as you stop and adjust each time.

Whichever mower you select, be sure that once the weather is nice again you’re taking care of your lawn with the right amount of water. Sprinkler System Store is your one stop shop for everything you need to have the lawn of your dreams. Shop now!
