Why do most lawn mowers use crawler designs?

1. Wide Track Area, Low Ground Pressure: Effortless Navigation Through Muddy Swamps

  • Broad Tracks: The core design of tracked lawn mowers revolves around their wide tracks, providing a larger ground contact area.
  • Lower Ground Pressure: Tracks significantly lower the ground pressure, allowing the mower to operate on soft surfaces like muddy or swampy terrain.
  • No Ground Compaction: The design prevents the mower from compacting or damaging the ground, unlike traditional wheeled mowers.
  • Superior Traction: Tracked models deliver better traction on slippery ground, reducing the risk of slipping.
  • Operational Stability and Safety: Tracks ensure greater stability and safety during operation.
  • Preservation of Vegetation and Soil: The low ground pressure helps preserve vegetation and soil structure, preventing ecological damage caused by excessive mechanical pressure.
 

2. Advantages and Limitations of Wheeled Mowers

  • Strength of Wheeled Mowers: Rapid transitions on hard surfaces.
  • Weakness on Slippery Ground: Small tire contact area increases ground pressure, causing slippage on soft terrain.
  • Limited Capabilities: Reduced climbing and obstacle-crossing ability; requires flat, solid surfaces.
  • Terrain Restrictions: Unsuitable for complex or uneven terrains.
  • Advantage of Tracked Mowers: Adaptable to diverse terrain conditions without surface limitations, offering broader operational scope.

3. Exceptional Terrain Adaptability: Approach Angle of 45°

  • Approach Angle: Up to 45°, enabling navigation of steep slopes and obstacles with ease.
  • Climbing Capability: Handles slopes of ≤45° for extreme terrains.
  • Obstacle Crossing: Overcomes vertical obstacles up to 15 cm high.
  • Versatile Terrain Use: Performs efficiently on rocky landscapes, forested areas, and wetlands.
  • Operational Advantages: Ensures high efficiency and reliability for demanding tasks.

4. Durable Composite Tracks: High Tensile Strength and Abrasion Resistance

  • Composite Materials: High tensile strength and resistance to cuts ensure durability.
  • Stable Performance: Reliable operation across challenging terrains.
  • Wear Resistance: Reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
  • Lightweight Design: Minimizes machine weight for improved maneuverability and flexibility.
