Why do some lawnmower manufacturures make mowers of different weights some heavier than others, i wonder if the heavier ones hold the ground better and give a smoother cut by not bouncing around in all the irregularities of a yard:smile:

Do you refer to walk behind push mowers or lawn tractors? I would say engine size, deck width, etc. have a bearing on the weight of most machines. Also the amount of plastic vs. steel used will make a big difference.
i have found that with a light weight push mower that the grass gets cut uneven because the mower is light weight and bounces to much at a brisk walking speed

Sell them on the idea and make more money doing theirs. For what it is worth, about 2 acres of what I mow used to be cornfields 25 years ago, I have never done anything to smooth those areas, just kept mowing them over and they are reasonably level now.

A bit heavier will help but a heavier push mower is going to be very noticeable to the person having to push it...
You would nave a bit better results with a mower with larger wheels... but if it is very rough ... slowing down is the only way you will be able to realize a decent cut and not be plum used up after an hour or so pushing...
A light weight alloy deck is most desirable on a push mower... slow down in the rough... fly in the smooth... :smile:KennyV
