Most "which mower" questions are really "which configuration." This hub compares the three decisions that move the needle most, with the trade-offs spelled out.
Tracked vs Wheeled
| Tracked | Wheeled | |
|---|---|---|
| Slope | Up to 35° | Gentle only |
| Traction | High, even wet | Lower |
| Best for | Rough/hazardous | Lawn/estate |
Flail vs Blade
Flails shred stalks and brush into mulch and resist wrapping — better for solar, roadside, and reclamation. Blades give a cleaner finish on maintained lawn. RCVIX remote models use flails for tough ground.
Petrol vs Electric
Petrol: longer runtime, refuel anywhere, best for remote heavy brush. Electric: quiet, zero exhaust, ideal for indoor, noise-limited, and solar sites. See the technical guide.
How to Decide
- Steep or rough → tracked flail (T / TT / F).
- Maintained lawn → wheeled blade (W500).
- Noise/emission limits → electric (E-series).
- Heavy brush → large flail (F-series).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Tracked or wheeled for slopes?
A: Tracked — rated up to 35° with far better traction; wheeled suits only gentle ground.
Q: Flail or blade for brush?
A: Flail — shreds stalks and resists wrapping; better for solar, roadside, and reclamation.
Q: Petrol or electric for solar farms?
A: Electric where noise/emissions are restricted; petrol where runtime and remote refuel win.
