Overview
This HTS subcategory encompasses self-propelled lawnmowers where the cutting mechanism rotates horizontally. This includes a wide range of machines designed for maintaining lawns, parks, and sports grounds. The defining characteristic is the horizontal rotation of the cutting blade(s), which distinguishes them from rotary mowers with vertical cutting action. Electric-powered models, including those that are battery-operated, are specifically included within this classification.
This category is distinguished from its sibling category, "Riding mowers, other than electric." While both are powered lawnmowers with horizontal cutting blades, this category specifically includes push mowers and other self-propelled mowers that are not ridden. The key differentiator lies in the mode of operation and rider engagement. The sibling category focuses exclusively on machines operated by a rider, excluding electric versions of such machines.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the combination of being a lawnmower, powered, with a horizontally rotating cutting device, and critically, being electric or battery-operated. Non-electric walk-behind or self-propelled mowers with horizontal blades would fall under the sibling category of "Other."
