Glossary
Cutting width
The capture width provided by the unit, in other words, the width of the strip of land cultivated in one pass. In fact, this size corresponds to the width of the working nozzle.
The large working width is useful when processing large open spaces, as it allows you to finish the job in a small number of passes. On the other hand, for hard-to-reach places, relatively narrow tools are better suited, able to go where a wider unit will not fit. In addition, the width of the tool directly affects the weight and price.
In general, it makes sense to compare in terms of working width only units of the same type (see above). However, it is worth noting here that trimmers do not differ so much from each other — most models capture from 25 to 45 cm (and a wide processing band is provided by moving the nozzle from side to side). As for the other types, in the most modest models the capture width does not exceed 40 cm, in the heaviest and most powerful it can be 56 – 60 cm or even more(in mini tractors — up to 1.5 m).

Trimmer blade width
The width (diameter) of the trimmer knife characterizes the size of the paddle knife (or saw blade). Such a nozzle has a smaller capture width than a fishing line, however, it allows you to mow more dense thickets, including shrubs.
Engine size
The size of the engine installed in the petrol or diesel model (see "Engine type"). Power directly depends on this indicator, however, only engines of the same type can be compared by volume (see "Type of internal combustion engine"). And even in the same type of units of the same power, the volume can be different. In such cases, note that a larger volume means more fuel consumption, but the engine itself may cost less than a smaller one.
Fuel tank volume
The volume of the fuel tank in a gasoline or diesel mower (see "Engine type").
A large tank allows you to work longer without refueling, but an excessive increase in capacity affects the dimensions and weight of the entire unit. So manufacturers usually select this indicator taking into account the power and fuel consumption of a particular engine, and in general, the volume of the tank is not critical when choosing. However, knowing the tank capacity and fuel consumption (see above), you can estimate how much one refueling will approximately last.
