Comparing Lawn Mowers to get the Best Fit.
Comparing Lawn Mowers to get the Best Fit.
Love it or hate it, lawn mowing it is a necessary job and choosing the right lawn mower for that job can double the pleasure for lawn-lovers and lessen the chore for those who would rather be putting their feet up. Here at Macroom Tool Hire & Sales we’ve been selling lawn mowers in Cork for over 25 years. We even do lawnmower hire, so we are well aware that, when it comes to mowers, it is not a case of one size suits all. Different people have different needs and those needs can be dictated by several factors.
• Lawn size
• Storage space available
• Personal preference
Most people will find a corner somewhere that is big enough to store a small lawn mower, and there are mowers with fold-down handles that enable easier storage, but some people require much larger lawn mowers. Cork has its fair share of large houses surrounded by large gardens and if the lawn is very big a ride-on tractor mower such as the CASTLEGARDEN PTX 170 HD may be required, but don’t worry if storage and maintenance is an issue we can supply a hire mower at very reasonable rates as and when required.
Some people’s needs are more modest. They do not require such grandiose lawn mowers—Cork has plenty of small gardens as well. We stock a large selection of mowers of all sizes, so we are sure to have one that is perfect for your needs and our helpful staff members are always on hand to offer expert help and advice.
A Few Lawn Mower Options
• Reel Mowers: Short of getting on your hands and knees with a pair of scissors, the most basic lawn mowing option is to purchase an old-style reel mower and, with no need for electricity or fuel, they are certainly the greenest lawn mowing option.
• Self-Propelled Mowers: One of the most popular choices for homeowners with small to medium-sized gardens, self-propelled lawn mowers have a spinning blade that works like a scythe and is particularly good for handling longer grass. Although many such mowers are powered by mains electricity, rechargeable cordless options are also available and there are petrol-powered self-propelled mowers as well.
• Hover Mowers: Although they cut in in a similar manner to self-propelled mowers, hover mowers have no wheels. They float on a cushion of air and tend to be lighter than self-propelled mowers, are infinitely more manoeuvrable, and are an excellent choice for small lawns and ones with difficult shapes. Most hover mowers come without a grass box, which may make them a bit too much bovver for anyone who does not like mulch on their lawn.
• Lawn Tractors: Just the ticket for bigger lawns, lawn tractors are sit-on mowers that take all the hard work out managing an above average-sized stretch of turf.
• Husqvarna Automower: A hands-free, work-free robotic lawn mower. Cork!—the future has arrived. Just sit back and let the Automower whizz around and do the job for you.
