Once you have decided on the type of lawn mower you plan to buy you need to decide on the size of cut the lawnmower you purchase will have.

The size of cut is determined by the cutting deck of the mower. The cutting deck is the area that contains the actual grass cutting blade or blades and the cutting deck protects you from the fast turning blades and also guides the cut grass to the grass outlet on the mower. Cutting decks vary in size from around 12 inches right up to around 60 inches or more but not all sizes are available on all types of grass cutting equipment.

The small 12 to 18 inch cutting width is usually provided by an electric or hand powered lawnmower. These are usually small and lightweight making them very easy to manage and move around.

The 19" to around 24 inch cutting width is usually found on larger electric and gas powered walk behind lawnmowers and for larger cutting deck width than this you are usually looking at a gas powered rideon lawnmower.

To decide on the cutting deck width you need you should figure out how long each size would take to cut the area of grass you have. This is best done by finding out the lenngth of the gras area and working out how long it takes to walk that length at a slow walking pace.

Next you should measure the width of grass you have and by dividing that width by the width of the grass cutting deck you know roughly how many up and down cutting strips you need to make to cut your grass.

Multiply the time taken to walk one length of your lawn by the number of cutting strips each lawnmower would require and you have a very rough idea on the amount of time it will take you to cut your grass with each different size of lawnmower.

There are lots of good lawnmowers but the best lawnmowers for you are the ones that suit the size of grass cutting job you have and the ones that you feel comfortable using and give you the feeling that you made the right choice so take your time researching different mower types and manufacturers models.
