A favourite amongst professional landscapers and gardeners, petrol hover mowers have been maintaining the areas of grass that conventional mowers cannot reach for many years. Their great advantage over their 4-wheel counterparts is the ability they have to work on slopes without stalling or causing engine damage, due to the unique designs of the 4-stroke engines used. This ability to work in hard to reach areas as well as places such as orchards and roadside verges makes them a great choice in gardens that have mixed areas of grass growth as well as more formal areas such as lawns and play areas.
