3 Signs It’s Time to Buy a New Lawnmower

It’s that time of year again – the weather is getting warmer and it’s finally starting to feel like spring. For many of us, that means it’s time to start thinking about our lawns. And if you’re like most people, that means it’s also time to consider whether or not you need a new lawnmower.

If you’re not sure whether or not it’s time to invest in a new mower, here are three signs that it’s probably time to start shopping around:

Your lawnmower is more than seven years old.

Like most pieces of equipment, lawnmowers don’t last forever. If your mower is more than seven years old, it’s probably time to start thinking about replacing it. Over time your mower will start to lose power and efficiency, and it will become more difficult (and more expensive) to keep it running.

You’re using your mower more than ever.

If you find yourself using your lawnmower more and more, it might be time for an upgrade. If you’re mowing your lawn more frequently than you used to or you’re starting to notice that your mower is struggling to keep up, it’s probably time for a new one. This is especially the case if you’ve moved from a small yard to a larger size block.

You’re having trouble starting it or it needs more frequent repairs.

If you’re constantly struggling to get your lawnmower started, it’s a good sign that it’s on its last legs.  The same goes for if you’re having to take it in for repairs more and more often. Not only is this a hassle, but it’s also going to be costing you more money in the long run. Nobody wants to be spending their Saturday afternoons dealing with a broken-down lawnmower, so if you’re tired of dealing with an unreliable mower, it might be time to invest in a new one.

Choosing the right new mower for your needs

If you’re thinking about buying a new lawnmower, be sure to do your research and find one that’s right for you and your needs. With so many different types and models on the market, it can be tough to know where to start. And, of course, once you’ve got your new mower, be sure to keep up with regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly for years to come. A little bit of preventative care can go a long way in prolonging the life of your new investment.
