Vegetation
Describe grass height and density, mowing frequency and any woody growth. Photos help show conditions that a simple land-area figure cannot.
Mower buying guide
Choose a mower that fits your land—and your access.
Start with what you cut, where the machine must travel and how you will transport it. Then compare cutting width, overall dimensions, weight and engine configuration.
1. Describe the job before choosing a model.
Ground and obstacles
Note slopes, soft ground, stones, irrigation lines and uneven areas. Share slope measurements where available; confirm suitability for the specific machine.
Routes and transport
Record gates, rows, low branches, turns, storage space and the vehicle or trailer you will use. The route to the work matters as much as the cutting area.
Remote-controlled does not mean autonomous. An operator directs and supervises these mowers using a handheld remote. Follow the operating instructions and keep people and animals clear of the working area.
2. Measure the space the whole machine needs.
- Measure the clear opening. Measure between the nearest fixed obstacles, including posts, hinges and pipes. Check the narrowest point along the route.
- Check width, height and turning room. Compare the opening with overall machine dimensions, not cutting width. Leave operating clearance; a straight opening does not prove a corner is passable.
- Check transport separately. Confirm payload, bed dimensions and the loading equipment’s rated capacity. Packing dimensions and shipping weight differ from the bare machine.
3. Compare complete machines.
These three tracked models illustrate the size and weight differences across the range. They are comparison examples, not automatic recommendations for a particular site.

A wider cut is only one part of the choice. It also changes access and transport requirements. Do not estimate hourly output from cutting width alone; vegetation, terrain, travel speed and turning all affect the work.
4. Compare fuel and drive with your working conditions.
Petrol or diesel?
Start with the fuel you can obtain and store, the engine’s maintenance requirements and the machine’s size and weight. Compare the exact configuration, starting method and local servicing options.
Fuel type alone does not establish cutting performance or ownership cost. Ask for model-specific consumption information if running cost is central to your decision.
Tracks or wheels?
Describe the ground surface, slopes, soft areas and how much turning is needed. Ask how the selected drive configuration suits those conditions and what routine care it needs.
Tracks do not guarantee safe operation on every slope. Check the operating limits and conditions for the exact machine, including any fitted attachment.
5. Compare the full purchase—not just the machine price.
