Lawn Care Tips For Your Lawn Tractor
The lawn mower is a large mechanical device that is used for cutting grass. This device has a blade, a motor and a deck that rides on four wheels. It has a bag attached to it for catching grass clippings. It was first produced in England during the 1860s and first became popular in the United States during the 1930s. Many manufacturers entered the petrol-powered mower market during this time. Many of these mowers were adapted from tractors, which had been popular in the U.S. until the 1960s.
Before the spring mowing season, it’s a good idea to tighten the nuts on your lawn mower. Oftentimes, these nuts can become loose over time due to vibration. It is also a good idea to run your lawn mower for at least 15 minutes before storing it away. While this may seem like a lot, it’s worth it in the long run. A well-oiled lawn mower will give you a smoother cutting surface.
Ideally, a lawn mower should be set to a two to three-inch height. A sharp blade will enable you to give your lawn a professional look, while minimizing shock and stress to your lawn. If the grass blades are too short, they’ll rip the grass off from the roots, which will cause your lawn to lose moisture and promote weed and disease infestation. Therefore, it’s best to use a mower with a higher cutting height and lower grass height.
