Choosing the Right Lawn Mower

Start With Your Lawn, Not the Brand

A good lawn mower should make regular mowing easier.

The right machine depends on more than engine size or deck width.

Consider:

How large your lawn is.
Whether the property is flat or sloping.
How frequently you mow.
Whether you want to catch, mulch or discharge clippings.
How much effort you want to put into pushing the mower.
How much storage space you have.
Whether petrol or another power source suits the way you work.

A compact push mower may be ideal for a smaller section, while a self-propelled mower can make a noticeable difference across larger or more demanding lawns.

Tell us about your property and we’ll help you narrow down the options.

Why Choose a Push Lawn Mower?

Simple, Versatile Lawn Care

Push lawn mowers remain one of the most practical ways to maintain residential lawns.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Work around garden beds, trees, paths and tighter lawn areas where larger machinery isn’t practical.

Excellent Cutting Control

Walk-behind mowing gives you precise control around edges, landscaping and irregularly shaped lawns.

Catch, Mulch or Discharge

Many modern mowers give you more than one way to handle clippings depending on lawn conditions.

Easier to Store

Push mowers take up considerably less storage space than ride-on equipment.

Options for Different Lawns

Choose from lightweight push models through to self-propelled machines designed to reduce operator effort.

FAQs

Lawn Mower FAQs

What people ask before they commit to a lawn mower.

Should I buy a push mower or self-propelled mower?

A push mower can be ideal for smaller, flatter lawns where the additional drive system isn’t necessary.

A self-propelled mower reduces the effort required to move the machine and can be useful for larger lawns, longer mowing sessions or gentle slopes.

Should I catch or mulch my grass?

Catching provides a clean finish and removes the clippings from the lawn.

Mulching finely chops the clippings and returns them to the lawn.

The right choice depends on grass conditions, mowing frequency and the finish you prefer.

What size mower do I need?

Lawn size matters, but so do obstacles and access.

A narrower mower can be easier to manoeuvre around complex gardens, while an 18-inch mower can cover open residential lawns more quickly.

What's the advantage of an aluminium mower chassis?

Aluminium doesn’t rust and can provide strong, durable construction without excessive weight.

The Masport 450 AL 3’n1 and LawnMaster Estate 400 both use alloy chassis construction.

What does 3'n1 mean on a Masport mower?

It means the mower provides three different cutting methods: catch the grass, mulch the clippings or rear-discharge them.

Both featured Masport models provide these options.

Is the STIHL RM 443 good for tight gardens?

Yes.

STIHL specifically positions the RM 443 for medium-sized and irregularly shaped gardens, with a compact 41cm cutting width and manoeuvrable design.

Do you sell battery lawn mowers?

STIHL offers battery-powered lawn mowers in addition to petrol models.

Talk to our team about whether battery or petrol makes more sense for your lawn.

Do you service push lawn mowers?

Yes.

Our Te Awamutu workshop provides servicing and repair support for suitable lawn mowers.
