Petrol Lawn Mowers Guide
If your lawn is larger than 100 SQM, then a petrol lawn mower will definitely make the job quicker and easier. Cutting an over grown garden is made easier with a petrol mower to, as their often a lot more powerful than there electric counterpart, although it might be advisable to use a petrol strimmer to take some of the length away if it the grass is over 7” in height. Instead of going for a low cut straight away you should cut it slightly higher and then go for a lower cut as it will make your job easier again for you.
Petrol mowers will be more expensive than electrical base mowers and will require slightly more upkeep and of course you’ll need to keep some petrol in your shed, but there’s no risk of electrocution. The cheapest price that you can get a petrol mower is around £130 which usually feature a 123cc engine which is around 2/3 BHP, 50 litre grass box is also common and different high settings for crass cutting.
Petrol mowers have 2 options for starting them either a electrical start, which you will pay a premium for these are by far the easiest option. And the most common start is the pull start or recoil starter. All you need to do is prime the engine with fuel which is commonly done by pushing a button which pushes some fuel into the engine and then usually on the first pull it will cough and splutter into life.
Petrol Lawn Mower
I have a cheaper petrol lawn mower I think it cost around £160 ish from home base or B&Q a year or so back. It’s got a Briggs and Stratton engine and a Husqvarna chassis. I love the mower it’s never given me any problems even over winter. I used it last weekend for the first time in months I just primed it up and it started on the 2nd pull.
The blades not that sharp anymore but that’s just general wear and tear i guess
I bought one of these online last week.
