Comparing Mower Purchases: Discount Store vs. Authorized Dealers

You have a few options to consider when purchasing a new lawn mower. Let’s take a look at the differences between buying from a Discount store and working with an authorized lawn equipment dealer:
Front entrance of Precision Mowers showcasing brand signage including STIHL, Husqvarna, Tandem, and Briggs & Stratton
Discount Store Purchases
Discount stores often carry a wide selection of mower models and brands, providing you with a variety of options to choose from. Prices at Discount stores may be more competitive, as they can leverage their buying power to offer lower prices. However, the level of expertise and specialized knowledge about lawn equipment may be more limited at Discount stores.
Authorized Dealer Purchases
Authorized lawn equipment dealers are typically staffed by knowledgeable professionals who can provide expert advice and guidance on selecting the right mower for your needs. Dealers often have access to a wider range of specialized or higher-end models that may not be available at Discount stores. Dealers can also offer comprehensive maintenance and repair services, ensuring your lawn equipment continues to perform at its best.
Benefits of Working with a Lawn Equipment Dealer
Personalized recommendations and guidance from experienced professionals Access to a broader selection of specialized or premium lawn care models Ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep your lawn care equipment running smoothly Potential for better warranty coverage and support By considering both Discount store and authorized dealer options, you can make an informed decision that best meets your lawn care needs and preferences.
Buying a Mower at a Dealership vs. Buying at a Discount Store
You might think you’ll pay less if you buy a lawnmower from the local Discount store, but there’s much more to the price tag than your initial purchase. When mowers are assembled at a Discounter that does not have experience servicing lawn equipment, you can end up needing repairs or experiencing premature component failures while working in the field. When choosing the right mower, consulting an expert for additional guidance is essential. And whom will you depend on for maintenance? Discount stores don’t typically have mechanics on staff, and the sales staff may not have specialized expertise on the mowers they sell. Even to them, it’s “just another mower.” Longevity is another issue with many mowers at a Discount store. They aren’t built to last like the equipment you find at dealerships. So, while you may pay more, you’re getting better quality, service, and support from your dealer—and you won’t have to replace the mower next season. When you need answers, an experienced dealer is here to help.
Higher Quality Mowers from a Dealer
Discount stores sell different quality mowers than landscaping equipment dealerships, which partner with industry-leading brands (such as Grasshopper Mowers, Husqvarna, Stihl, Tandem Lawn Equipment, Stiga, Honda, Briggs & Stratton, etc). You might wonder why certain mower brands are sold in dealerships and some in Discount stores. Discounters featured in big-chain stores negotiate with these stores, using less rugged materials and saving costs where necessary to achieve the desired price point. It might seem like a great buy, but you get what you pay for. Mower brands that only sell through independent equipment dealerships are committed to providing the best quality mowers, OEM parts, and certified technicians. They stand by their mowers.
Equipped to Answer Questions—Dealership Expertise
Lawn equipment dealers are experts on the mowers they sell and service, and they can accurately answer your questions. Outdoor power equipment/ Lawn equipment manufacturers support their dealer networks with product training and education, so they are prepared to guide you toward the best mower for your needs. Dealers can also provide mower attachment advice for implements like collection systems, edgers, and more, so that you can maximize your investment. The bottom line: When making a financial decision like buying a mower, you deserve the full attention of a knowledgeable dealer who is there as a ready resource after the sale. Dealers build relationships with their customers. You won’t find a similar emphasis on customer service and satisfaction at a Discount store.
At Your Service—Dealers Maintain the Mowers They Sell
With manufacturer-certified technicians on staff, equipment dealers can help troubleshoot issues and advise on recommended routine maintenance so you can extend the life of your mower and achieve the highest quality cut. If you buy a mower from a Discount store, where will you go for repairs? (Don’t expect the customer service desk to do it.) You’ll have to find a mechanic who might have general knowledge but is not an expert on the mower brand. Also, Discounters might stock some select parts like mower blades, but they might not be from the manufacturer. You will sacrifice mower performance when you settle for off-brand or subpar mower parts. Your servicing lawn equipment dealer is trusted by the manufacturers they represent. Mower manufacturers invest in their authorized dealer networks to deliver the technical expertise to perform routine maintenance and complex repairs when necessary. We know repairs and maintenance are often not top-of-mind when purchasing a brand-new mower. But service, parts, and technical support are essential for all equipment. If you leave these necessities out of the buying equation, you’ll pay more than the value of your mower in repair bills. Ultimately, you’ll gain the advantage of a quality mower if you buy from a local dealer.
Depend on Your Local Mower Dealer for Answers, Service, and Ongoing Support
After you purchase a mower, who’s got your back? When you buy from an authorized lawn equipment dealer, you get much more than a new piece of equipment. Grasshopper dealers sell industry-leading, high-quality, rugged mowers and provide the knowledge, service, and parts you need––before, during, and after your purchase.

Improving Lawn Quality with Precision
When using our Gyro Axial Mower, adjust the cutting height based on the grass type and season. For cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, or ryegrass, maintain a taller cutting height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches to promote healthier growth and prevent weed growth. On the other hand, warm-season grasses like Bermuda grass or Zoysia grass should be cut lower, typically between 1 to 2 inches. By following these guidelines and sharpening the mower blades regularly for clean cuts, you can ensure a lush and vibrant lawn. In addition to adjusting the cutting height, follow the ‘one-third rule’ when mowing your lawn with our Gyro Axial Mower. This rule advises against cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time to prevent stressing the grass and inhibit its growth. Maintain a consistent mowing schedule and alternate the mowing direction each time to avoid developing ruts in the lawn and encourage upright grass growth. These simple yet effective lawn mowing techniques, combined with the precision of our Axial Rotation Technology, will result in a pristine and healthy lawn that enhances the overall aesthetics of your outdoor space.
