The lawn mower we are talking about here belongs to a portable lightweight gasoline lawn mower, which is powered by a two-stroke gasoline engine or a four stroke gasoline engine, and can be carried in two forms: side mounted and backpack mounted, non electric lawn mowers and wheeled lawn mowers.
Next, we will talk about the differences and choices between these two types of lawn mowers
Backpack gasoline lawn mower
The carrying method of a backpack lawn mower relies on a backpack frame carried on the back, an engine installed, and the output end of a swing type clutch disc. The power is transmitted through a steel wire flexible shaft to the operating rod (usually 1350mm in length), which drives the gearbox and completes tasks such as mowing and cutting shrubs through blades, grass heads, saw blades, etc.
Due to its special design for carrying and the advantages of steel wire flexible shaft universal transmission, the backpack lawn mower is particularly suitable for cutting work from bottom to top in environments with steep slopes. This design allows operators to better grasp balance and improve work efficiency in working environments with steep slopes. At the same time, the backpack design has a certain degree of flexibility due to the universal soft shaft transmission, and is also very suitable for working in complex and interlaced areas with weeds and shrubs. In environments with steep slopes and alternating heights of weeds and shrubs, please use a D-type horizontal handle, backpack type, and soft shaft drive lawn mower
Side mounted gasoline lawn mower
The carrying method of the side mounted lawn mower relies on a strap hanging on a snap ring near the engine side of the operating lever (the position of the snap ring can be adjusted appropriately to tilt the engine and the working head downward at a 45 degree angle, and maintain appropriate balance to reduce the intensity of the operator's operation, allowing for a lighter left and right swing operation of the entire machine). Straps are mainly divided into regular straps, straps with waist pads, and shoulder straps. At present, we use a lot of padding and waist protection straps. The side mounted lawn mower adopts right-hand throttle control and left-hand auxiliary control of the U-shaped handle. The balance of the whole machine is adjusted by the position of the buckle strap, so that the operator does not need to bend over or lean forward slightly (the position of the handle and buckle can be adjusted appropriately according to the height and physical condition of the staff to achieve good balance operation adjustment), and can easily complete the operation. Due to its straight rod transmission, the cutting force of a backpack lawn mower with the same power engine is greater in terms of power transmission, and the fuel consumption is relatively lower than that of a backpack lawn mower with the same power engine. The engine straight rod direct connection design of the side mounted lawn mower is suitable for working in relatively flat environments with slopes less than 30 degrees. A steep slope makes it difficult to maintain balance, not only resulting in low work efficiency, but also making it more challenging for operators. Choose a side mounted lawn mower for flat areas. useUVertical handshake handle, side mounted, straight pole drive lawn mower
In summary, the selection of portable gasoline lawn mowers for carrying is: for steep slopes and mountainous hills, and working environments greater than 40 degrees, please choose the backpack type. Choose side mounted lawn mowers for flat working environments such as plains, fields, and green belts. Staff can choose the appropriate way of carrying according to the actual situation, and reasonable control can not only make the work more efficient, but also reduce the workload of workers.
