From compact city sections to lifestyle blocks, we’ve got a mower that fits your lawn, your schedule and your budget. At STIHL Shop Mount Maunganui you’ll find STIHL battery lawn mowers, Masport petrol mowers, ride-ons (including zero-turns), and robotic mowers—plus the workshop support to keep them humming for years.
Below is a clear guide to Stihl Shop lawn mower options, how they differ, and how to choose the right one.
Best for: small to medium lawns, low maintenance, tidy suburbs.
Why people choose them
• Start with a button, not a pull-cord
• Low noise and no petrol to store
• Minimal maintenance—just sharpen/replace the blade and keep the deck clean
• Many models offer catch, mulch and side-discharge in one
What affects the price/tier
• Cutting width (faster on bigger lawns)
• Whether it’s tool-only or a kit (battery + charger included)
• Battery system (entry vs pro-grade) and Eco/efficiency modes
• Self-propel vs push
Who it suits
• Townhouses and urban sections up to ~600–800 m² (model dependent)
• Anyone who wants quick set-up and very little upkeep
Best for: buyers who want simple refuel-and-go power or have thicker, longer grass.
Why people choose them
• Strong performance in tough or damp grass
• Widely available parts and blades
• Options for catching, mulching, or combo decks
• Self-propelled models reduce effort on slopes
What affects the price/tier
• Alloy vs steel deck, engine size, self-propel drive, and combo functions
• Comfort features like easy height adjustment and larger catchers
Who it suits
• Medium to larger lawns, mixed terrain, heavier growth or less frequent mowing routines
Perfect for larger properties where a walk-behind isn’t practical. Your first decision: how do you want to handle clippings and how tight do you need to turn?
Best for: properties with many trees, gardens and obstacles.
Why: independent wheel control gives an ultra-tight turning radius for fast, precise mowing.
Look for: fabricated decks, comfortable seats, robust transmissions, and deck widths matched to your gates and garden beds.
Best for: large areas you mow frequently.
Why: fastest way to cover ground; clippings are ejected to the side for even dispersal.
Tip: pair with an occasional mulch kit or tidy-up pass if you let grass get long.
Best for: formal lawns and leaf-prone areas.
Why: catcher systems leave a clean, stripe-ready finish with minimal clippings to rake.
Look for: large catcher capacity, easy emptying, and adjustable cutting heights.
Best for: people who want a consistently neat lawn with minimal time investment.
Why people choose them
• Set-and-forget schedules; mows little and often for carpet-like results
• Mulches as it cuts, naturally feeding the lawn
• Quiet operation and small daily clippings mean no visible mess
What affects the price/tier
• Lawn size capacity (boundary length and m²), slope capability, connectivity/app features, docking/charging tech and security features
1. Measure your lawn & note obstacles
• Rough m², gate widths, narrow passages, trees/gardens, slopes.
2. Decide your clipping style
• Catch for a pristine finish, mulch for lawn health, side-discharge for speed, or a combo deck for flexibility.
3. Match power and width to your routine
• If you mow weekly and value low noise → Battery
• If you mow less often or cut lush grass → Petrol
• If you’ve got a big block → Ride-on or Zero-Turn
• If you’d rather the lawn “just stays short” → Robotic
• Local workshop: blades, belts, batteries, chargers, engines—we service what we sell
• Expert matching: bring photos or your lawn size and we’ll recommend the right deck width, power and features
• Parts & accessories: mulch kits, extra batteries, chargers, catcher upgrades and more
• Aftercare advice: storage, cleaning, sharpening and safety
