Default Mulching Mower - how powerful?

Hi,

Will a 6.5hp mower mulch better than a 5.5hp mower on a 250m2 lawn?

Regards,

Han.


Really the area of the lawn doesn't matter, but the type and thickness of
the grass does.
A lawn that is kept neat and mowed regularly will place much less strain on
the mower, rather than a lawn that is allowed to get overgrown and long.
Buffalo and kyke lawns are a lot tougher than couch when they get long.
In general, the same brand mowers, both 4 stroke, same size cutting deck,
all things equal bar the engine size, than yeah, a 6.5hp would go better
than a 5.5hp under a heavy work load, but as I said above, a well kept lawn
should be a breese for a 5.5hp.
good luck
