As the name suggests, this term describes the area cut with every sweep of the mower. Therefore, larger cutting widths are suited to larger gardens.

The ability to cut your grass at different heights is important for many reasons. For starters, it allows you to alter the height according to the weather and current conditions. Moreover, you’ll be able to get a look for your lawn that suits your personal preference. Not to mention that you should never cut more than a third of the current length so the height you use at the start of mowing season will be very different to what you use in the height of summer. The cutting width on the Murray EQ2-500X is 51cm making it ideal for medium to larger sized lawns. Although, I’d say you might also get away with mowing something on the larger side as well, especially since it’s self propelled.
