Why Buy A Gas-Powered Mower For Your Farm?
If you want to buy a new mower to use around your farm, then you might not be sure whether to buy an electric or gas model. While electric mowers have their advantages, gas mowers have some benefits that might make them a better fit for your needs. What are they?
Portability
If you only need to mow small areas of grass close to home, then an electric mower might do the right job for you. However, if you might need to take your mower all over your farm, then these models often don't work so well.
You might not be able to use an electric mower if you need to plug it in. You can only mow in places where you have an electrical supply.
While you can get around this problem by buying a mower with a rechargeable battery pack, you have to remember to charge the pack before you start work. You then have to hope that the pack lasts for the whole job. If you're mowing large areas or land with taller grass, then the battery's charge will run down faster.
Gas mowers are more portable. They have their own built-in power source. You can take the mower anywhere on your farm, and it will work.
So, you simply need to make sure that the mower has enough gas to run. If it runs low, you can top it up on the spot. You don't need to worry about charging a battery pack before you can start work. If you have a gas mower, you simply fill it up and take it out with you.
Increased Power
While an electric mower will work well on domestic lawns, it might not perform as well on farmland. These mowers are good at cutting grass on smaller parts of lawn that are relatively well-tended already.
However, these models might not cut as effectively if you're mowing large areas of grass. They might not cope well with overgrown or tougher grasses. If you're doing a basic land clearance job, then you might not get the results you want. It might take longer to mow the area down to the level you need.
Gas mowers are typically more powerful. They have higher horsepower rates. This increased power gives you a faster, easier, and more effective mow.
