Mower[edit | edit source]
A mower is a machine used for cutting grass or other plants that grow on the ground. Typically, mowers are used to maintain lawns, fields, and gardens. There are various types of mowers, each designed for specific tasks and environments.
Types of Mowers[edit | edit source]
Manual Mowers[edit | edit source]
Manual mowers, such as the reel mower, are powered by human effort. These mowers have a set of blades that spin as the mower is pushed forward, cutting the grass in a scissor-like action.
Rotary Mowers[edit | edit source]
Rotary mowers use a blade that rotates about a vertical axis. These mowers are commonly powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor. They are effective for cutting a variety of grass types and are widely used for residential lawns.
Robotic Mowers[edit | edit source]
Robotic mowers are autonomous machines that can mow lawns without human intervention. They use sensors and programming to navigate and cut grass within a defined area.

Agricultural Mowers[edit | edit source]
Agricultural mowers are used for cutting hay and forage crops. These mowers are often attached to tractors and can cover large areas efficiently.
Flail Mowers[edit | edit source]
Flail mowers use a series of small blades attached to a rotating drum. They are ideal for cutting through thick vegetation and are often used in agriculture and landscaping.
Drum Mowers[edit | edit source]
Drum mowers have large, rotating drums that cut grass and are often used in haymaking. They are known for their durability and ability to handle tough conditions.
Attachments and Accessories[edit | edit source]
Mowers can be equipped with various attachments to enhance their functionality. For example, skid-steer attachments can convert a standard mower into a versatile machine capable of handling different tasks.
Maintenance and Care[edit | edit source]
Proper maintenance of mowers is essential for their longevity and performance. Regular sharpening of blades, cleaning, and engine maintenance are crucial tasks for any mower owner.
