A: Factory Display or fair price shops are best place to offer you advice on the most suitable lawnmowers and garden equipment accordingly your garden needs. They will take into account the size of your garden the type of cut you require, the terrain and whether you require collection or mulching options. Other more when mower blades need to be sharpening, monthly service, or replacement of a worn part they will help you better with their proper tools and skilled staff.
Cylinder mowers are the obvious choice (better for the grass. Says agronomists)
Do you want an area of ‘cut grass’ or a’ real lawn’ ?? It’s your decision If you just want your grass cutting, you may decide on a rotary machine, but if you want a beautifully presented lawn, you should choose an Green city cylinder mower. High quality, more healthy, with higher density and of course more green,luxury grade lawns and sports surfaces are mown with cylinder mowers. Their superior & very close cut, levelness of finish and production of strong stripes makes them the obvious choice.
Reel Mowers. Generally, the reel mowers are more efficient than rotary or flail mowers. The scissors action of the reel mower not only cuts better but requires less power, consequently consuming less fuel. At the same mowing speed, reel mowers will use up to 50 percent less fuel per acre of cut grass than rotary mowers. The number of blades per reel also affects the quality of cut, and impacts fuel-consumption. For example, a five-bladed reel will use 8 to 12 percent less power and fuel than a six-bladed reel. However, determining the quality of cut for a given area which in this case is primarily a function of the height of cut, is the responsibility of the turfgrass manager. It is up to him to decide whether the economy achieved by raising the height of cut and using fewer blades will produce the quality of turf required.
Precision cutting: In brief, between the difference is like a scissors and knife, just imagine how easy it is with scissors. Rotary mowers rely on a high speed rotating blade to cut the grass like a machete but A cylinder mower cuts using a series of sharp spiral rotating blades. The rotating cylinder traps the blades of grass between its spinning blades and a stationary bottom blade, producing a precision, scissor-like cutting action.
Quality stripes: All quality cylinder mowers have substantial front and rear rollers. The grass is mown and then immediately rolled firmly to create a strong, clear stripe.
Prevents scalping: The front and rear rollers of a cylinder mower run close to the point at which the grass is cut. This allows very low heights of cut to be achieved accurately without scalping.
No wheel marks: On expansive lawns, cylinder mower applies an even downward pressure as it moves across the lawn’s surface, leaving no wheel marks while minimising compaction.
Grass box access: A cylinder mower’s grass box is located at the front of the machine. The contents are always visible so you know how much grass is being cut, how well the mower is cutting and whether you have the capacity to make another run across the lawn.
But If your lawn is quite bumpy and not like a flat uniform or contains rough long grass and stones then you should avoid a cylinder mower as they will not handle these types of lawns very well.
Walk-behind cylinder mowers come in two basic types: push and self-propelled. Over recent years there have been many innovations for the push mower. For example, some manufacturers now offer ground speed controls that allow you to mow at the pace you desire.
Hand push: The one most people commonly know is a push mower, which requires the user to push a motorized blade cutter with wheels across the lawn. The reel (cylinder) lawn mower has vertical wheels along, the ‘wheels drive gears’ which rapidly spin the reel and cuts the grass. The cutting mechanism can be non-contact or contact, depending on the model. The reel mower comes in many variants and can be manual, or motorized (electric, petrol). The reel mower typically gives a very neat and even cut, but they sometimes have difficulties cutting long straws or weed. They are normally quiet, relatively cheap and easy to maintain. They are lighter, weighing 12 to 20 kg and are now available in several cutting widths 12 to 16 inches with five or six blades and 8 to 10 inch wheels. Note: According to the requirement some heavy weight roller machines can push with the help of 5 people or an animal. Cast iron gear wheels transmitted power from the rear roller to the cutting cylinder
Self propelled: A hand push mower requires the energy of the operator in order for the mower to move from one place to another. A self-propelled mower features an engine or motor that drives the rear rollers, thus the operator only needs to steer and guide the mower, it does not require the operator’s force to move throughout the yard. While both forms of mowers produce relatively similar results, if the yard features hills or is quite large, a self propelled mower may be ideal; however, if a yard is smaller and flat, then a push mower may be sufficient.
Self propelled mowers are controlled through a clutch lever system. The operator typically pulls the lever to speed up the mower and releases to slow or stop the mower. The actual speed of a self propelled mower depends on the size of the engine. On the other side a push lawn mower only goes as fast as the operator, thus the time it takes to mow the grass is solely dependent on how swift the operator can push the mower. Self propelled mowers are typically more expensive due to the extra mechanics placed inside of it.
A: The petrol machines have heavy engines of over 7Hp compared with the electric 2Hp. If you have a larger lawn greater than 2 kanal and if you intend doing a lot of scarifying, or facing the electricity shortfall then choose a petrol machine. The Electric model is great where electricity is available in max 2kanal small lawn and where a trailing cable is not a problem.
A: 5-6 Blades are Mostly used in normal cutting, when the week is busy and you don’t have a lot of time to spent in mowing your lawn, so it is the sensible choice to choose the standard cutting blades for standard normal cutting.
Green mowers are used for the precision cutting of golf greens and have a cylinder made up of at least eight, but normally ten to twelve blades. Due to its unique design and exacting manufactured standards, the machine has a rollers before and after the cutting cylinder which smooth the freshly cut lawn and minimizes, the Mower is used by golf course professionals to help solve those “difficult” mowing problems such as soft, sensitive, or newly seeded greens, inaccessible tees, restricted or hard to cut fringes, noise sensitive areas, or simply to obtain that “final touch” “manicured” look. This high quality 12 blades machine, also designed to allow home greens owners to experience the same professional golf course quality greens care enjoyed by professionals.
You have to choose the right one; follow the tips when weighing the options.
1- Determine the size of your mowing needs and your priorities. Organizations need to sit down and determine the size of their mowing needs because fuel options will vary among mower sizes. The next thing to do is prioritize what’s important to the organization in terms of sustainability, financial impact, and continuity with the rest of the fleet. For example, if a large percentage of an organization’s fleet runs on diesel, it makes sense to stick with what they know.
2- Make sure the mower will stand up to the needs and assess the costs. Make sure the equipment will hold up to the mowing applications required, regardless of fuel type, Also research how much the equipment will cost in maintenance and upkeep throughout the duration of the expected service life.
3- Compare current and future costs. Review fuel use and costs from previous years thoroughly and compare how the available fuel types will affect costs over the expected life of the equipment.
4- Assess fuel availability and storage. Look at local fuel availability and price; Compare that against what you’re currently using and your storing and transporting needs.
5- Responsibilities are you may be eligible for grants related to greener fuel sources and Environmental concerns.
A: To obtain the best cutting results and lawn appearance, follow these instructions.
- Maintain blades sharp throughout the season (for best results, sharpen monthly or when needed).
- Operate the machine at full throttle.
- Cut only 2/3 of the cutting cylinder at one stripe.
- Mow only on dry grass.
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following:
- Walk at slower pace while mowing.
- Do not cut below the 2 ½ inch setting unless the grass is sparse, or is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. When changing the cutting height from an established setting to a higher cutting height, the grass may appear ragged or uneven until the grass adjusts to the new established cutting height and regains its normal appearance.
- Cut the grass more frequently
- Overlap the cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
- Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight – this helps disperse clippings, which enhances decomposition and fertilization.
- Clean the clippings and dirt from the mower after each use. (Grass build up in mower will affect cutting quality.) Use a wooden tool, not a metal one.
A: Following guidelines:
- Mow when it gets to 6 to 8cm.
- Mow with newly sharpened blades on a dry day.
- The first cut should be around 5cm high.
- Keep the cut high for the next few cuts.
- In the first year be prepared to keep the cut high if weather becomes dry.
- First feed should be after about 6 months.
Four types of lawn mowers exist in mowers family.
1-Walk Behind Mowers
Hand push: The one most people commonly know is a push mower, which requires the user to push a motorized blade cutter with wheels across the lawn. The reel (cylinder) lawn mower has vertical wheels along, the ‘wheels drive gears’ which rapidly spin the reel and cuts the grass. The cutting mechanism can be non-contact or contact, depending on the model. The reel mower comes in many variants and can be manual, or motorized (electric, petrol). The reel mower typically gives a very neat and even cut, but they sometimes have difficulties cutting long straws or weed. They are normally quiet, relatively cheap and easy to maintain. They are lighter, weighing 12 to 20 kg and are now available in several cutting widths 12 to 16 inches with five or six blades and 8 to 10 inch wheels. Note: According to the requirement some heavy weight roller machines can push with the help of 5 people or an animal. Cast iron gear wheels transmitted power from the rear roller to the cutting cylinder
Self propelled: A hand push mower requires the energy of the operator in order for the mower to move from one place to another. A self-propelled mower features an engine or motor that drives the rear rollers, thus the operator only needs to steer and guide the mower, it does not require the operator’s force to move throughout the yard. While both forms of mowers produce relatively similar results, if the yard features hills or is quite large, a self propelled mower may be ideal; however, if a yard is smaller and flat, then a push mower may be sufficient.
Self propelled mowers are controlled through a clutch lever system. The operator typically pulls the lever to speed up the mower and releases to slow or stop the mower. The actual speed of a self propelled mower depends on the size of the engine. On the other side a push lawn mower only goes as fast as the operator, thus the time it takes to mow the grass is solely dependent on how swift the operator can push the mower. Self propelled mowers are typically more expensive due to the extra mechanics placed inside of it.
In this way 3 types of mowers are most common, seat mower, lawn tractor and zero-turn mower.
2-Ride On Mowers
Seat mowers: Seat mowers are popular alternative for large lawns because they’re bigger and more robust than walk-behind mower. The operator is provided with a seat and various controls on the mower and literally rides on the machine. Most use the horizontal rotating blade system, though usually with multiple blades on the front side. You should select a longer deck for large lawns, since the blade will also be longer and can cut more.
Lawn tractor: A common form of ride-on mower is also ‘Lawn tractor’. These are usually designed to resemble a small agricultural tractor, with the cutting deck mounted amidships between the front and rear axles.
Zero turn: They are designed to cut so closely around obstacles that they nearly eliminate the need to trim. One advantage of these machines is that they pivot through 180 degrees without leaving a circle of uncut grass.
3-Pull Behind Mowers
These are usually in the form of an attachment to a tractor commonly mounted on the back. The attachments can be simply function by the movement of the tractor. The clippings fall back onto your lawn, providing the turf with a natural fertilizer as they decompose. You can’t pull these too fast; generally, 10 mph is the top speed for a good quality of cut. These mowers require low maintenance and give lawns a close-cut manicured look.
Two types of mowers are common in use, Gang reel mowers and rough cutters, but the flail mowers are rare in PK.
Gang reel mowers Gang reel mowers are available for commercial purposes. They are deigned to pull by tractors.3or 5 or 7 machines could be connected in frame, Each 32 inch wide machine Interconnected by extension wings, frame and draw bar for being pulled by 25-35 HP tractor. A gang reel mower provides a scissor-quality cut. You cut hours from mowing time because of the vast cutting width. Seven reel gang mowers will get the job done faster with cutting widths of 10 – 12 feet.
Rough cutters: A perfect implement for public parks are rough cutters, increasingly a very high demand by the time. The right size tractor i.e. Massey Ferguson 240 with a power take off “PTO” needs to pull this rotary type 60 inch cutting machine. This implements hitch at 3 point on the rear of the tractor. Two of the hitch arms are low and some pins hook on to, the lower arms can lift up the implements, and the arms are driven by hydraulics. The upper arm hooks to the top pin at the bars that are above the unit; together the control the height of the attachment and Tractor PTO shaft link with mower. The mower has 3 blade sections and Four rubber tyres with adjustable.
Flail mower: Another impact-type cutting unit is the flail mower. The cutting unit on a flail mower consists of a number of small blades attached to a horizontal shaft. As the shaft rotates, the blades are extended by centrifugal force. Each blade becomes an independent, freely revolving, cutting unit. Thus, if the blade strikes a hard object, such as a rock or piece of metal, the blade recoils without damaging the mower or creating a dangerous projectile. The quality of cut still depends on the sharpness of the blade.
4-Robotic Mowers
Mostly Small robots are uses in overseas that mow the lawn on their own. It automatically visits its loading station when the battery is going low; there are also solar hybrid models. The robot covers an area within electric perimeter wires buried in the ground. Robotic mowers are quiet, safe, non-polluting, and give an even and good trim to you & are capable of maintaining up to 5 acres. Robotic lawn mowers are increasingly sophisticated, usually self-docking and contain rain sensors, nearly eliminating human interaction for mowing grass.
A: A typical height of cut for a good relatively level garden lawn is anywhere between 15 – 20 mm. Mow daily if cutting height set on 6 mm, if 10 mm, mow three times a week, if you need 20 mm, mow the grass two times a week. Irregular mowing at lower heights of cut will shock the grass plant and reduce its rate of growth, but at the risk of a) having an unsightly lawn, and b) potentially causing the death of the grass plant if a extreme weather event such as a prolonged dry period occurs.
A: Regular services applies all possible repairs, adjusting, seasonal and postseasonal checks and also re-sharpening of cutting cylinder. But for the general service, we recommend your mower let check us twice in a year, if it is not possible then at least once a year, because its a very serious and common problem that out of some big cities there are not proper Mowers service centre. So if your mower goes in hands which are not perfect for this job they could harm your mower and make wrong adjustments and the result your mower will not be able to gives you benefit for many years and then you will need a new one again.
A: The short answer is to stop when the grass blades stops growing. For cool season species, shoot growth stops when temperatures drop below 40F and exceed 90F. Root growth will continue in the fall and through part of the winter, even after the shoot growth ends.
A: If you’re planning to do your own maintenance, or just want to see what we recommend, please read the following tips which will help you be ready for spring.
- Check the condition of the blades tighten all loose nuts, bolts, screws and engine/motor mounting fasteners making sure they are all tight.
- Clean/replace air filter
- Drain and refill engine crankcase with fresh oil. Start engine to allow engine oil to warm up. (4-Cycle models)
- Clean built-up grass clippings, dirt and debris near chain, gear set and cutting system (self-propelled models).
- Grease all points.
- Sharpen or replace blades near by the workshop.
- Remove spark plug and put about one tablespoon of oil through the spark plug hole
- Slowly pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil.
- Replace spark plug but DO NOT connects spark plug wire.
- Store in a cool clean dry place, such as an unheated garage but NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any device that may create a spark.
- Cover the lawnmower to keep it clean and protected.
A brush cutter is a powered tool that is used to clear gardens. It is an agricultural device that trims unwanted weeds, small trees, overgrown grass, and extra leaves. It allows you to have a flawless and spotless garden. It has powerful machinery and is a heavy machine for garden cleaning.
Brush cutters have sharp blades that spin very rapidly and cut off the grass and roots. These can even cut up to 4 inches thick trees as well. If you are planning to purchase a brush cutter, these are the points you need to consider:
- You must have a general idea of your lawn measurement.
- According to the measurement of your garden or lawn, you can select the width of the brush cutter.
- You can select the cutting blades of the brush cutter depending on the intensity of unwanted foliage in your garden.
- You must also keep in mind to select a brush cutter that has the steel cutting plates made of industrial strength steel. So, that is lasts a lifetime.
- Keeping into consideration, these points, and your requirements, you can easily purchase a Special brush cutter.
A lawnmower is a small machine as compared to a brush cutter. It is simply used to clear grass in your gardens. However, a brush cutter is a prodigious machine that can slash 6 feet high grass, cut 8 feet high weeds, and gash 3 inches thick saplings.
Brush cutters are portable power tools and are of great significance among your garden tools. These are the advantages of using a brush cutter:
- The brush cutter is a powerful gardening tool that makes the weeding process effortless.
- The brush cutting machine enables you to effectively get rid of unwanted weeds and plants as compared to manual cleaning.
- The heavy-duty metal blades allow you to remove small trees as well. And makes the garden tidying process quicker.
- A Brush cutter is a convenient garden and forestry tool in terms of durability, versatility, and capability.
A brush cutter is a wonderful tool. However, the strength of the machine varies according to its engine so, you must purchase the right product from Retailer that is suitable for garden cutting
A Brush Cutter also called a brush saw or cleaning saw is a powered garden or agricultural tool used to prune weeds, young trees, and other foliage that cannot be reached by a lawn mower or rotary mower. Different blades or trimming heads can be attached to the machine for specific applications. Sometimes traditional tools won’t cut it that is where the brush cutter comes in.
These tools are used for garden maintenance, landscaping as well as in the large-scale forestry products. Brush cutters come in a range of variations and motor sizes, each designed for specific use. The bigger the motor, the heavier the cutter will be and requires more manpower to operate. Because brush cutters are power tools, extreme precaution needs to be taken when operating it for the first time. You need to make sure that you know where all the working parts are so that you can avoid being injured. In fact, you need to be careful every time you use any power tool.
There are three main types of brush cutters that you can explore. These options include
Hand-held brush cutters,
Walk-behind brush cutters,
Tow-behind brush cutters.
Types of Brush Cutters
Hand-held Brush Cutters: These brush cutters work similar to string trimmers, but have relatively more power and have more powerful motors than their string trimmer counterparts. For thick lawns and weeds, shrubs and hand brush cutters are ideal. These brush cutters are also available in 2 and 4 cycle engines.
Walk-Behind Brush Cutters: Brush mowers are also known as walk-behind brush cutters and are the perfect choice for projects of areas of overgrown vegetation. If you want to tend to areas which do not require frequent maintenance, a walk-behind brush cutter is ideal for cutting and trimming
Tow-Behind Brush Cutters: If you have a bigger field to cut, tow-behind brush cutters are appropriate as they can be attached to a garden tractor or ATV. They are easy to use and effective in cutting thicker bushes and weeds.
Brush Cutters basically function on 2 specific types of engine:
Generally brush cutters function on two types of engine, either a two-stroke or a four-stroke engine. Two-stroke engines are usually lighter, but somewhat harder to start and a bit more inefficient than a four-stroke engine. Although four-stroke engines are stronger, they are more expensive and not available much. Also, two or four stroke engines have different levels of oil requirements. Four stroke engines require more oil than a two-stroke engine.
Brush-cutters are a great help for land and forest owners. They are used for everything from lawn care to clearing high grass, saplings, and brushwood. If you know how you will use it, we can help you choose the right one. Are you intending using It for professional use? For professional use, it is important to choose a brush cutter with a long service life, which is also suited for the work you are planning on doing.
What Size Should I Pick?
For professional users, it is more important to pick the right size of brush-cutter, rather than simply selecting the strongest model. A strong engine will help you cut through tougher vegetation more easily, but a stronger machine is also heavier. This can be tiresome if you are working for extended periods of time, making you less effective. As a professional you may therefore want to have several brush cutters to choose from, depending on the job you’re doing. The average consumer should, however, make sure that the machine is strong enough to easily handle the intended job. Perfect for the lawn mower
If the work you are doing is on a small or medium estate, or a rural garden with bushes, hedges and small trees, then a medium range brush cutter is perfect for the job. You can switch heads depending on whether you are cutting grass or tougher vegetation. These brush cutters are comfortable, versatile and easy to use. How easy is it to use?
When choosing a brush cutter you should also consider how easy it is to change cutting blades and trimmer heads. Also make sure that it is easy to change the line when you are using a trimmer head and that the feed mechanism is practical.
A two stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution. The two main functions of a two-stroke engine are compression and combustion, 2 stroke engines tend to be more powerful than 4 stroke engines. And since they have less moving parts, 2 stroke engines tend to be more reliable.
In choosing between a two-stroke or a four-stroke, four-stroke engines tend to be better on fuel, quieter, and less emissions. At the time of this writing, four stroke engines are more expensive. Two-stroke engines are generally more powerful than four-stroke engines, thus two-stroke engines are worse on fuel economy, have worse emissions. What they lose in fuel economy and emissions, they make up for in price and more reliability because they have less moving parts.
And speaking of less moving parts, the 4 stroke has a separate oil pan to lubricate the engine. Many lawnmowers are 2 stroke engines and generally cut grass flat on the ground. A brush cutter or a string trimmer often has to be tilted and held at odd angles in order to do its job. That tilt can result in oil moving out of where it needs to be, exposing the engine to greater wear or even damage.
A: Power tiller a two-wheeled walking tractor widely used for agricultural implement in dry and wet puddle soil. For small & marginal farmers a power tiller is the best choice. It replaces the animal power more effectively & helps in raising demand for human labour. This power tiller used engine & designed as such to push forward or backward various agricultural equipment. Power tiller is capable to perform the operations of different farm implements like rotary, puddler, leveller, trailers, plow disc, cutter, mover & thresher. The most important functions of power tiller are that prepares an accurate seeded for the crop to be planted & warms the soil before planting by burying its ruminant into it. By controlling weeds, it helps in the proper growth of the crops.
A: Power tiller helps in preparing the soil, sowing seeds, planting seeds, adding and spraying the fertilizers, herbicides and water. In addition to it also helps in pumping water, harvesting, threshing and transporting crops.
A power Tiller is ideal where the land side is small. We are to clear you about tiller agriculture, for better productivity on the farms. The power tiller uses follow.
- Power tiller used for cultivation, sowing, weeding, and tillage.
- It used with attachments that enhance its sowing machine, spray machine, router, and blood.
- Power tiller uses in Sugarcane farming, Rice cultivation, Wheat farming, and Paddy cultivation.
Power Tiller Machine
Puddler: Pudding operation machine is done before transplanting the paddy seedlings. For this filed operation power tiller is fitted with lugged wheels or drum type cage wheels depending upon the soil conditions after removing the rubber tyres for better traction. Rotary is fitted with bent types. Tail wheel is also to be replaced with tail wheel float for adjusting the depth. Minimum two pudding operations are required and at least 8-10 cm of water should be available in the field for best puddle and power leveling off the field.
A chainsaw is a portable gasoline powered saw that cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain driven along a guide bar. It is used in activities such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning, cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression, and harvesting of firewood. Chainsaws with specially designed bar-and-chain combinations have been developed as tools for use in chainsaw art and chainsaw mills. Specialized chainsaws are used for cutting concrete during construction developments.
