Choosing a Lawnmower comes down to two questions: where are you cutting and how much of it?

Wenbro stocks four Lawnmowers: two Garden Standard/Suburban models (electric and petrol), a Three Wheel model and a Heavy Duty model. Below, we cover which applications each unit is best suited for.

Quick Answer: Which Mower for Which Job?

• Home lawn or small property garden with an electricity supply nearby: the Electric Lawnmower – Garden Standard
• Home lawn or small to large gardens, but you want the flexibility of a petrol engine or don’t have nearby electricity available: the Petrol Lawnmower – Garden Standard
• Along fence lines, close to obstacles or uneven ground, or tree-filled gardens: the Three Wheel Lawnmower
• Large open areas such as estates, sports fields and large property road verges: the Heavy Duty Lawnmower

Garden Standard Lawnmowers: Small to Medium Lawns

Both Garden Standard mowers are lightweight Units with a 55L grass box. The only difference is the power source and coverage.

Electric Lawnmower – Garden Standard

The Electric Lawnmower – Garden Standard is a three-pin plug mains-powered rotary mower. It needs access to an electricity supply, so where you can cut depends on where you can plug in.

Great for:

• Residential lawns cut regularly
• Small to medium suburban gardens
• Places where a petrol mower isn’t practical or permitted (noise level restrictions).

Petrol Lawnmower – Garden Standard

The Petrol Lawnmower – Garden Standard has a 6hp Wenbro petrol engine. It suits residential gardens, small estates and general-purpose grass cutting.

Great for:

• Small to large gardens
• Guesthouses, small estates and residential complexes
• Homeowners and small landscaping contractors
• Weekly lawn care where a neat, collected finish is needed

Three Wheel Lawnmower: Trees, Fences and Uneven Ground

The Three Wheel Lawnmower is commercial-grade and designed for areas where a standard four-wheel mower is harder to navigate.

Great for:

• Cutting around trees, shrubs and other obstacles
• Fence lines, walls and boundary edges
• Undulating or uneven ground
• Estates and commercial properties
• Farms and smallholdings with obstacles and varied ground

Turfking Lawnmower: Large Areas and Sports Grounds

The Heavy Duty Lawnmower is built for cutting tall grass and veld over large areas.

Great for:

• Large commercial properties, estates and sports facilities
• Road verges, embankments and municipal green spaces
• Golf courses, polo fields and large recreational areas
• Farm and smallholding grass over large open areas
• Cutting veld, large fields and general commercial grounds maintenance.
