Self-Propelled Lawnmowers

Self Propelled Rotary Power Mowers

Self-propelled rotary mowers offer all the bells and whistles of push rotary mowers, plus power to pull themselves up slopes. Some models also come with large rear wheels that make uneven lawns much easier to mow.

Some of these models even use a transmission. It is especially important to purchase one with a powerful enough engine. The engine has to provide enough power to cut the grass and to propel the mower up inclines.

You should also check the speed settings. If the mower moves too fast, you may soon hate it.

Prices range from $200 to $700.

Self Propelled Reel Mowers

This type of mower is typically only used for golf greens and is prohibitively expensive. They are not designed for home use.
