Are Robotic Lawn Mowers Dangerous?

           The idea of a robot with sharp blades attached to a powerful motor wandering around the lawn can sound frightening. But should it be? If you have seen a robotic mower, whether in person or on the internet, the thought may have crossed your mind. But exactly how do accidents with lawn mowers happen.

Each year, about 68,000 people with injuries caused by traditional power lawn mowers are treated in hospitals. (Source:American Academy of Pediatrics) The most injuries from traditional lawn mowers occur when people place their fingers near the blade, generally in an attempt to clear away a clump of grass or other undesired matter. Most of these accidents occur when the person reaches under the "skirt" of the mower, or reaches into the discharge chute. (Source: Technology Associates) Other common injuries are caused by flying objects. Traditional lawn mowers have large blades that can throw objects as much as 50 feet.

Combine that with risk of the operator slipping underneath, flipping over in a riding lawn mower, or being run over; one can easily see the concern for safety when it comes to lawn mowers in general.

But robotic lawn mowers are completely different. The one biggest safety advantage robotic lawn mowers have over traditional lawn mowers is that you do not have to stand behind it or ride on top of it. By removing the person, this alone eliminates most causes of lawn mower injuries.

Robotic lawn mowers are unlikely to clog. Take it from someone who has been an exclusively user of robotic lawn mowers for over 7 years - robotic mowers mow frequently and chop grass fine enough that the likelihood of clumps forming under the mower (or anywhere for that matter) are eliminated. But even if you attempt to lift the mower while it is operating, the blade will immediately stop spinning. However, if the blade(s) were to get snagged onto something, the robotic lawn mower's computer is smart enough to shut down the blade(s) and signal for help.

Robotic lawn mowers have very different blades than the traditional mowers. First, the blades are a lot smaller which play a large part as to why it is less likely to throw objects far away. Even though robotic lawn mower blades spin a lot faster and yields a better-cut quality than traditional mower blades, the force behind the smaller blades just isn't enough to launch objects nearly as far as larger heavier blades. Also robotic lawn mowers blades are usually recessed or protected on all sides obstructing a clear pathway for flying objects to travel.

Being an avid user and tester of robotic lawn mowers, I have personally seen objects thrown for a maximum of 5 feet max from a robotic lawn mower. The objects rarely make it more than 8 inches off the ground and do not have nearly the amount of force behind them compared to if a traditional mower throws the same object.

Since the safety mechanisms of robotic lawn mowers are integrated into the mower's computer, they are difficult to bypass. Some robotic lawn mowers, like LawnBott utilize touch handles that work similar to touch lamps. By merely touching the handle, the blade stops spinning in an instant. All robotic mowers have lift detectors that stop the blade when lifted or flipped over.

Other safety features include PIN codes, bump sensors that detect objects left in the yard, and the ability to run during night hours are all among the palette of safety features that traditional lawn mowers couldn't dream of.

Different Parts of a Lawn Mower

      A machine which is used to cut the grasses at your lawn at an even length with help of its revolving blades is known as Lawn Mower. Depending on the mode of operation, lawn mowers are known with different names. If the blade rotates about a vertical axis, it is known as rotary mower whereas if the blade rotates about the horizontal axis, it is called a reel mower.

Due to various factors like reason of usage, budget and effectiveness, the design of these lawn mowers also vary. In general, there are three such types:

 Lawn Mowers which can be pushed by human being are the smallest and are perfectly suitable with residential gardens or lawns.

 If you own a large commercial garden, lawn or park, the ride on mowers is the best available option for you. These are large in size and are self contained as well.

 Multi Gang mowers, the ones which are pulled behind tractor are the largest of all the lawn mowers. This work well in the municipal parks or maybe in a golf course.

If you have used a lawn mower before, you must be aware that there is always a frequent requirement to change the different parts of the mower as these get worn out for the constant usage. If you have not used any as of yet, make sure you learn about the different lawn mower parts right now. When you buy a new lawn mower, make sure all these parts are in perfect condition so that you get the full efficiency. Here are the different parts of a lawn mower:

Lawn Mower Blades
Undoubtedly the most important part of a lawn mower, the blades need to be sharp for a mower to work at its best. In case of lawn mower blades, size does matter. It will vary according to the requirement of the buyer and most common ones range from something in between 19" and 22". Make sure the size of shank (The part art of the motor shaft beneath the lawn mower where the blade attaches itself) goes along with the diameter of the hole around the center of the mower blade. Any exception to this and you will not be able to fit the blade properly.

The blade must be made of hard steel and it should be allowed to be sharpened several times. Most commonly, these blades have only one sharp edge at one side and both the ends are a bit bent. The mowers are used to lift, suction and mulch the grass. The mulching blade is different from the ones used for lifting or cutting with a wider and deeper bend on the twain ends along with a more acute edge.

Clutch Handle
Another important part of your lawn mower, clutch handles are often broken by mistake, but these are quite easy to reinstall as well.

Roller Chain
This is installed inside the mower and the rotation of the blades along a circular path is controlled by this chain.

Lawn Mower Covers
This has an elastic shock cord in the bottom hem of the mower. It covers the mower and makes sure it does not get affected due to dust, rain or tree sap. The fabric used to coat has repelling and water resistance capacity.

Belts
The belts vary due to the width and length and are available at various widths like 3/8, � or 5/8 inches.

 Pulleys
 Mulching Kits
 Battery Charger & Tester
 Anti Slip Tape
 Clutch Key
 Straight Key Stock

Reel Lawn Mowers - Are They Right for You?

            For many home owners, reel lawn mowers, also known aspush mowers, are making a comeback as their first choice for cutting their lawns. There are a number of good reasons for this.

Probably the first consideration for people is the low environmental impact reel lawn mowers have compared to gas powered or even electric mowers. Gas mowers cause a surprising amount of pollutants, in terms of noise, as well as gas and oil used and spilled. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a new gas powered lawn mower produces as many volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides emissions in one hour of operation as 11 new cars each being driven for one hour! They estimate that over 17 million gallons of fuel, mostly gasoline, are spilled each year while refueling lawn equipment. In addition to groundwater contamination, spilled fuel that evaporates into the air and volatile organic compounds spit out by small engines make smog-forming ozone when cooked by heat and sunlight. Gas mowers are estimated to produce about 5% of the nation's total pollution.

Owners of reel mowers really like that they are so quiet that they can mow their lawns in the cool of the early morning, or late evening without disturbing their neighbours.

Reel mowers are much easier on the pocketbook. When doing the calculations, people find that the return on their investment happens at about 6 months after purchasing the reel mower. With the price of gas so high and rising steadily, the break-even point is coming more and more quickly.

As well, reel mowers are safer, and are lower maintenance than other types of mowers. The reel cannot throw small objects such as rocks or sticks like a gas or electric powered mower can. This means you can mow with peace of mind even while your children or pets are playing around the lawn. You are also highly unlikely to catch a finger or toe in the reel and cause any severe injury like you would with the gas or electric mowers.

Reel mowers provide a nicer cut than rotary mowers as the grass blades are cut like scissors instead of being torn. This means your lawn will be more even, the grass blades will be healthier and you will avoid brown tips. All of this combines to a greener, healthier looking lawn.

People generally also choose these types of mowers to get some exercise. Getting out in the fresh air and pushing the mower around is a great way to reconnect with nature while getting some light and exercise. owners report that using a reel mower actually doesn't take any more time than when they were using their gas mower, mainly because of the lighter weight of the reel mower.

There are a few disadvantages to reel mowers. The most obvious being that you have to push them! This in itself is not a drawback if you cut your lawn about once weekly. However if you let your lawn grow longer you may find it quite hard to push your mower through the tall grass.

Reel mowers cannot cut up or mulch small twigs so you will need to either check or rake your lawn prior to cutting or know that you will need to manually remove them from the blades. A small twig will catch in the blades and stop the reel dead.

You may need to make several passes over some areas and reel mowers don't always get the tall, stalky weeds the first time around. Because of this reason, the cut will not be as exact as a gas mower. If you have a significant number of weeds in your lawn, this may cause frustration, especially if you would like a perfect cut first time around.

Discharging grass clippings on to the lawn is often listed as a disadvantage to reel mowers. However, we would disagree with this assessment, as leaving the clippings on your lawn allows you to mulch your lawn at the same time as you mow. To mulch well, clipping size needs to be small, so again, this works best if you mow your lawn regularly. If you don't, or prefer to collect your clippings, some models also have a grass catcher that comes with it, or can be bought separately.

Reel mowers are hard to push through tall grass. If your grass is extremely tall the first time you mow it, you are going to have a hard time. From then on, it will be easier but only if you mow regularly. If you prefer to only mow every few weeks then a reel mower will not likely work for you.

All in all, we think reel mowers are a great choice for many reasons, but they aren't for everyone. If you understand and are content with the basic limitations of reel lawn mowers, then the next step is to read reviews and recommendations to find which is the best reel lawn mower for you. The environment and your heart will thank you.

If your lawn is larger than a half-acre, a riding lawn mower would be your optimum choice. When choosing the right riding mower, what you should pay focus to the most is the front cutting deck. The front reducing deck is a covering that homes the cutting blade. The longer the reducing deck, the bigger the reducing blade. The bigger the reducing blade, the higher quantity of cut grass.

Electric mowers are also quieter and much more environmentally friendly. On the negative aspect, since the mower runs on a battery, there is always the concern that the battery will drain before the job is complete. Cost-smart, electrical mowers can be fairly costly.

Gasoline powered mowers are more efficient than electric mowers. Gasoline mowers also expend much less power. Gas mowers handle wet circumstances much better than electric mowers. Gas mowers are much less costly.

Every type of mower has its advantages and drawbacks. When trying to figure out which type of mower to buy, you must weigh the environmental benefit against the efficiency advantage.

Bells & Whistles

Riding lawn mowers for sale have kept pace with the car as far as bells and whistles are concerned. Riding mowers can arrive outfitted with equipment such as cup holders, cruise control, sunlight shades and even Compact disc gamers.

Maintaining Your Mower Regardless of if you buy a gasoline or electric mower, you will always want to maintain it nicely taken care of. The most important thing you will need to do is keep the blades sharpened. Your lawn will look much nicer with a sharper blade. Dull blades will give your lawn a raggedy, uneven look.

Comparable to a car, low tire pressure can negatively affect the performance of riding lawn mower. Low tire stress will cause the mower to use much more gasoline or battery power while in use. Nevertheless, you do not want to over-inflate your tires either. Over-inflated tires could burst when operating over something sharp such as glass or a sharp stone.

You should frequently thoroughly clean the rider and engine compartment prior to every use. Your objective is to thoroughly clean out any debris that might have built up from the last use. Check the air filter as nicely because dirt and particles will construct up more than time which will trigger airflow problems. Airflow problems will eventually direct to effectiveness problems.

Always keep an eye on your oil degree. Just like an car, if the motor runs reduced on oil, the engine may seize up. If the engine seizes up, it might wreck the motor and need you to substitute it. Usually change the oil every 50 hrs of use or before the beginning of every period.

Lastly, you should maintain an eye on the battery and cables. Eliminate any corrosion if it starts to construct up by utilizing a damp rag. Corrosion can build up because of to acid leaks from the battery.

Cautions and Hazards
