Commercial lawnmowers often run for several hours day after day. A commercial mower is a necessity for maintaining large lawns and performing commercial lawn and landscaping services. According to GlobeNewswire, the global commercial lawnmower market should grow to nearly $4.5 billion by 2025. If you're considering buying a commercial lawnmower, look for these four things so that you can identify the good ones.

1. Engine With Two Cylinders

Whether it's gas or diesel, a commercial mower must have a strong engine that generates a lot of power and torque to conquer any reasonable terrain and cut potentially thick grass and weeds. A twin-cylinder motor with 25 Horsepower that produces good torque is ideal for commercial lawnmower duty. The engine has a larger displacement than a typical four-cylinder motor in a residential mower and is capable of running more reliably for several days of use every week.

2. High-RPM Cutting Blade

Another reason for wanting a good engine with plenty of power is to increase the cutting blade spin tip speed. The more RPMs the blade tip turns, the more it cuts up the grass, weeds, and sometimes brush that commercial lawnmowers typically encounter. The more the blade tip cuts up the grass, the smaller the bits that are left, which makes final lawn cleanup much easier after mowing.

3. Ample Parts Availability

Commercial mowers are mostly made using the highest-quality parts so that they can run reliably well and be much more durable than residential mowers. Commercial mowers require regular maintenance and occasional repairs, which means you have to buy parts for your mower. You should check on parts availability when choosing among commercial mowers so that you can make sure they are easy to obtain and relatively affordable to buy and install.

4. Good Warranty Protection

A manufacturer's warranty should come with your new commercial mower and possibly include options for extending the warranty coverage. Commercial mowers represent significant investments, and a warranty can help you to get the best return on your mower investment.
