Cylinder lawnmowers are one of the most common types of lawnmower, they produce the best finish to all lawns although they are generally the most expensive. Please select your choice of petrol cylinder lawnmower from the menu on the left.

Petrol cylinder lawnmowers adopt the same basic mechanism used back in the late 19th century. The design has changed little over the years. A fixed horizontal cutting blade is positioned just off the surface of the ground, the height of which is adjustable. Over this is a fast spinning cylinder of blades. The spinning cylinder forces grass past the fixed horizontal blade, thus shearing the grass in a scissor-like motion.

When compared to ride-on, rotary and hover lawnmowers, a properly adjusted cylinder lawnmower makes the cleanest cut, which allows the grass to heal quicker, and produces a neater look.

A 30cm to 35cm cylinder width is approximately the right size for a medium sized lawn. Smaller cutting widths take longer to cut the lawn and larger widths begin to reduce the manoeuvrability of the lawnmower.
