What’s the best walk-behind lawnmower?
It’s a hard question to answer because there isn’t just one single mower that stands out from the rest as the best that anyone could get. There’s a good chance you’d be happy with any mower purchased from a reliable brand like Toro, Honda, or eXmark. But even though there are several top-quality brands out there, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t shop around a little and do some research. Different models match different mowing needs, so the best mower for one person might not be the best mower for everyone.
One thing you can count on is that eXmark’s commercial-grade walk-behind mowers are a great choice for both landscape professionals and serious homeowners. They’re one of the bestselling mowers in the lawn care industry, and they come with a great warranty. Keep reading to learn more about why an eXmark mower might be a great fit for you.
What to Expect From an eXmark
All of eXmark’s walk-behind mowers are self-propelled. One of their key selling points is that they deliver fast, reliable cutting performance with less effort on your part, and not having to push their mowers is part of that. This is especially important for homeowners with large yards and landscapers who work on multiple lawns every day. You don’t want to wear yourself out push mowing and then not have the energy to keep working.
These mowers are also easy to use. The design of the control handles makes operating the mowers very simple, as well as efficient and comfortable. Some of their mowers even come with a height-adjust feature so that you can set the handles to a height that works best for you.
Not every mower can handle the demands of professional lawn care, but these walk-behinds from eXmark can. Even if you’re using them for hours each day, they’ll keep delivering reliable performance. eXmark owners rarely have any problems with their mowers, but if you do they’re backed up by an industry-leading warranty (click here for details).
The 5 eXmark Models
eXmark features five unique models to choose from. They’re all reliable, heavy-duty, self-propelled mowers. Each one is easy to operate and delivers top-quality cutting performance. On top of that, they also offer unique features for each model.
Commercial 21
Commercial 21 mowers feature a 21-inch cutting deck and patented eXmark features to increase durability and versatility. The 3-in-1 cutting system allows you to easily switch between bagging and mulching grass clippings.
The S-Series has no grease points and fewer parts than competing mowers, so there’s less maintenance to worry about. It offers speeds from 0 to 4.2 mph. The X-Series mowers are very similar, with a front engine guard and steel wear plates on the cutting deck that make them extra durable.
Commercial 30
Similar to the Commercial 21 mowers, the Commercial 30 mowers are lightweight and easy to maneuver. Their top mow speed is 4 mph. They offer 40% greater cutting efficiency than the Commercial 21 models because the 30-inch wide deck covers more ground with each cutting pass.
Metro
The Metro Series delivers mid-size, commercial, gear-drive mowers with 32-inch, 36-inch, or 48-inch cutting decks. Like eXmark’s smaller mowers, the Metro features sealed and non-greasable spindles that require no maintenance. The 36-inch and 48-inch models also feature eXmark’s enhanced control system (ECS).
The cutting decks are 5 inches deep with a side discharge for grass clippings, which you can either bag or mulch. Metro fixed-deck mowers are designed to stand up to wear-and-tear. The formed 10-gauge decks are continuously seam welded, with 7-gauge side skirts and welded spindle mountings.
Viking
The Viking models all feature eXmark’s patented ECS system, which helps reduce fatigue by placing the operator’s hands in a natural, neutral position. They’re also one of the best values you can get if you want a hydro-drive walk-behind mower. eXmark’s hydro-drive is specially designed for increased durability and decreased need for maintenance.
The Viking series also adds eXmark’s Hydro Quick Track Adjustment, which allows for quick and easy adjustments to the mower without using tools. You can choose either a 36-inch or 48-inch UltraCut Series cutting deck on the Viking mowers.
Turf Tracer
The Turf Tracer Series includes a wide variety of options, including different engine brands and either propane or gasoline as a fuel source. They are eXmark’s highest-end walk-behind mowers and feature a floating-deck design and hydro-drive steering control.
The S-Series mowers are designed for speed and efficiency, and you can choose cutting decks ranging from 36 to 52 inches wide. The smooth-tread tires virtually eliminate the need for tire repair. S-Series Turf Tracers also feature the ECS control system and a new electric clutch that allows for faster belt service. In the X-Series, you can choose between 52-inch and 60-inch cutting decks.
