It gets good ratings from buyers though a few found it just too heavy to easily move around.<\/p>\n Below we will offer you some important tips for buying a petrol lawnmower. You should find these really helpful especially if you are a first time buyer.<\/p>\n People make the switch to a petrol mower for a few different reasons. Mainly they change as they don’t like using mowers with leads that need plugged into the electricity mains. More often than not that also means having to use an extension lead, as the electric lead on the mower is seldom long enough.<\/p>\n For some petrol buyers they also like the freedom of not having a lead and that way they can use it anywhere without having to worry about a power source. Some others buy petrol mowers as they are more powerful and they also will cut the lawn a great deal quicker. They are also much better for cutting thicker, longer and even wet grass. So as you can see, there are plenty of good reasons to make the switch.<\/p>\n Finally it is worth mentioning that some men are just “petrol heads” and like engines.<\/p>\n Many mowers have what is called a rear wheel drive and this engages when the motor starts. That engagement then helps push the mower forwards and does most of the work, so as you don’t have to push it. This is really useful especially on slopes.<\/p>\n Not all petrol mowers have this so just be aware of that. The better petrol mowers also allow for the rear wheel drive to be temporarily disconnected. That is useful if you want to work in a confined space or have the full control of the mower.<\/p>\n Most petrol mowers use a 4 stroke single cylinder engine. These engines are usually measured in something like 139cc. In essence this is how the size of the engine is measured. Smaller garden appliances like a hedge trimmer will have a 2-stroke engine, but larger mowers use a 4 stroke engine. The general rule of thumb is the bigger the engine the more power it will have.<\/p>\n This is the container that catches the grass from the rear of the mower during the cutting process. The smaller petrol mowers will have 50 litre boxes and the larger ones will have 70 litre boxes. The bigger the box the less times you will have to empty it. Some of these boxes will have a level indicator that you can view without having to remove the container from the mower.<\/p>\n Experienced gardeners will know that grass should be cut at different heights depending on the seasons. Some people prefer shorter grass whereas others like a more lush feel to their lawns. That is why it is important to length of cut options. Almost every good quality petrol mower will have these. That means you can decide how tall your grass should be by selecting the height, which is usually done by adjusting a handle.<\/p>\n This will vary from area to area across England. City gardens tend to be a lot smaller than rural gardens. Heavily populated areas tend to have a lot more buildings and that of course takes up more land. According to the Science of Where <\/a>website the average garden size is:<\/p>\n So typically an average city garden is about 6 metres by 25 metres. In the suburbs they are usually larger. They get even bigger in the country areas. Town houses tend to have small gardens, semi-detached are bigger and detached are bigger again as a general rule of thumb.<\/p>\n \u201d<\/p>\n Thanks for visiting our UK gardening website which is made to help any beginner gardener.
