Motorised mower
General information on motorised mowers
Motorised mowers are by far the most widely used type of mower today. The reasons for this are the mowers' engine power, which can be flexibly selected depending on requirements, and the significantly higher efficiency compared to manual mowing methods such as hand reel mowers or similar technologies. Mowing with horses is an alternative to motorised mowing for a small number of smaller and organic farms, but reaches its performance limits above a certain size of mowing area. Other applications such as mowing under or near water or large hedges are practically impossible to manage without the use of motorised mowers.
ESM cutting units are suitable for motorised mowers of various sizes, designs and applications. Hand-guided motorised mowers are used wherever large machines cannot be used due to the nature of the terrain and where flexibility and comfortable handling must also be guaranteed for professional use. The range of motorised mowers is broadly diversified in agriculture and water maintenance due to the very different mowing areas and tasks. Depending on the requirements of the mower and the mowing performance, there are a wide variety of designs, engine types and mowing widths.
Choosing the right motorised mower
Once the decision to purchase a motorised mower has been made, the characteristics of the device must be determined. Even the question of engine power cannot be answered in general terms, but depends on the size of the mower and the operating conditions. The weight of a motorised mower is also an important factor. In alpine mowing applications, areas with extreme slopes sometimes have to be mowed. The slope suitability of the motorised mower can therefore be an important factor in the purchase decision. A motorised mower that is too heavy would make handling considerably more difficult or even make it completely impossible to use. The weight distribution of the motorised mower is also a relevant factor in mowing situations with steep slopes.
The market for motorised mowers is broadly diversified due to the very different mowing tasks. The practical tests in the relevant trade journals are helpful when deciding which type of mower to buy. Mowing practice in professional agriculture generally places high demands on motorised mowers. Therefore, when purchasing an appliance, it is essential to choose a high-quality and reliable product. The ratio of area coverage to fuel consumption is also an important value for a motorised mower in order to work economically in the long term.
ESM cutting units for professional motorised mowers
A high-quality cutting unit with robust and high-quality components is the centrepiece of every professional motor mower. For farmers as well as private users of motorised mowers, the fundamental question is the cutting system of the mower. As wearing parts, the cutting units of a mower are subject to particular stress, which increases even more when it comes to dealing with unusual mowing situations. ESM cutting units, which are installed in a large number of high-quality motorised mowers, guarantee high reliability and a long service life in this respect. The use of an ESM cutting unit also improves work safety and maintenance characteristics.
