A LAWN MOWER OR A ROBOT?

1. A robot lawn mower: the advantages and disadvantages

No longer having to think about having to cut the grass by pushing heavy petrol-powered machinery is certainly one of the advantages of this mower, not to mention the savings on the cost of the gardener. These robot lawn mowers definitely provide significant savings in the long term, and prove to be an excellent investment to make.

They are very efficient machines, especially the new generation ones, which require minimal maintenance over time. These models are also environmentally friendly as a result of their mulching technology. In addition to cutting the grass, they also allow the garden to be fertilized. This also makes them an eco-friendly option. 

Needless to say, no product is perfect and there are some disadvantages to buying a robot lawn mower, i.e. the purchase cost, its programming and installation.

Its cost, although different price ranges are available, may not be negligible. Installing and programming it can also be complex, however, since this process will only need to be done once after purchasing it, the problem will be a minor one.

2. How to choose a conventional lawn mower

If you are considering purchasing a conventional lawn mower, you need to know the difference between the two major options, so that you can choose according to your needs.

Primarily, there are two types of lawn mower on the market. 

The combustion lawn mower, which is either battery-powered or can be electric, and the petrol-powered lawn mower. 

Regardless of which one you choose, we recommend ensuring that it has integrated mulching technology, which can shred the grass and thus turn it into fertilizer for the lawn. 

It might also be useful if it has a self-propelled function, a feature that makes the workload lighter.

3. A grass-cutting alternative: a lawn mower for a two-wheel tractor

If you have a two-wheel tractor, a good alternative may be a lawn mower attachment. They are lightweight and easily attached to any two-wheel tractor using a flange connector or quick connector. A flat lawn mower is the ideal tool for taking care of any lawn. Thanks to its oil-bath gear drive, the only maintenance required is a periodic check of the blades and oil level.

BellonMit provides its customers with a wide range of products for looking after lawns: lawn mowers but also flail mowers, brush mowers and mowers. They can all be attached to compact tractors and are ideal for any type of lawn.
