How to transport a mower

There is more to spring and summer than just warmer weather and getting sun daily. It is also time when we have to start mowing our lawn again! Ever wondered how to safely transport a Mower (e.g. if you buy one online) and how much can it cost? In this article you will find all the basic info.

Choosing the best way to transport a mower depends mostly on its size. Popular lawnmowers are rarely longer than 1m, which means that it will easily fit in most of cars. Transporting any bigger machines – for example tractor mowers – will require professional help.

Transporting a lawnmower

As mentioned, lawnmowers can be transported by a car. To do it safely, you should remember:

  1. Secure the lawnmower properly
    You should transport a lawnmower in a box adjusted to its size (the less free space is left after placing the machine in the box, the better). Ideally, you should use lawnmower’s original packaging. If you no longer have it, fill all of the empty space in the box with styrofoam or sponges (it will absorb any jolting during shipping). Also, before placing a mower in the box, you should wrap the machine in bubble wrap.
  2. Before shipping, drain the lawnmower of all the liquids
    On the road, not everything you can predict – even if you secured your lawnmower properly, it can tilt during sudden turn or emergency breaking. This can cause the fuel to flood spark plugs or filters, which may lead to serious damages.
  3. Transport the lawnmower upright
    Even if you are sure that you have drained all the liquids, it is safer to transport the lawnmower upright. This way you can be certain that any remnant fuel or oil will not flood the spark plugs.
  4. Detach all of the removable elements and transport them separately
    The safest way to do that is to wrap every element in bubble wrap.

If you do not have a car big enough to transport a mower or you have to transport a tractor mower or agricultural mower, you can hire a professional transport provider. How much will it cost?
