The battle of the blades

In this article, Husqvarna explains the difference between automowers, ride-on mowers and traditional mowers to determine which is best for you.

When it comes to lawn care, home owners, landowners and even greenspace professionals are faced with an array of mower options with which to achieve a beautifully manicured lawn. Choosing between a traditional mower, ride-on mower or auto mower can pose a challenge though as each promises the perfect balance between precision, efficiency and convenience, but the question is: which one will fully meet your specific needs?

Wynand Lombaard, product and pricing specialist at Husqvarna South Africa, provides some guidance on how to determine what type of mower is best to keep your lawn in tip-top shape. As with any big purchase, budget considerations are key when making your decision, often outweighing personal preferences.

Lombaard says: “Both ride-on and auto mowers typically come with a considerably higher price tag than traditional mowers. However, apart from being the more cost-effective option, traditional mowers are still highly effective in getting the job done.”
