The main purpose of a rear roller is to product lawn stripes. In simple terms, the roller flattens the grass in the direction you are mowing which affects the way the light reflects off the grass.

The terms push and self-propelled refer to walk behind lawnmowers and whether the lawnmower needs to be pushed forwards or whether it can drive itself forwards.
Self-propelled is a term used to indicate that a walk behind lawn mower can drive itself forward by using the power of the engine or electric motor, instead of relying on the user to push it. This is a feature often found in professional lawnmowers which are designed to be used for long periods of time, however many smaller lawnmowers designed for domestic uses also feature self-propelled drive. It is a feature popular with older users or those who desire the easiest mowing experience.

Cylinder mowers are at home on fine lawns and sports turf where the ground is mostly level. They are built to provide the cleanest cut and can cut down to the lowest heights.

Rotary mowers are the most common and are suited to a wide range of grass cutting. Rotary mowers feature a blade that rotates on a horizontal plane and are suitable for cutting a wide range of grass types from lawns to longer, rougher grass.
