How to inspect a lawn mower factory before ordering (video audit)?

A factory audit is an important step when purchasing commercial lawn mowers from China, especially for first-time buyers.

If you cannot visit the factory in person, a live video audit can help you evaluate the supplier.

Here are seven areas worth checking:

1.Production facilities: Ask to see the workshop, production equipment, and assembly areas.

2.Welding quality: Inspect the mower chassis, cutting deck, and reinforced steel structures.

3.Engine installation: Check engine mounting, fuel lines, electrical connections, and protective components.

4.Cutting system: Examine blade installation, blade protection, cutting height adjustment, and deck construction.

5.Crawler system: Check rubber tracks, drive components, tensioning systems, and undercarriage accessibility.

6.Remote-control testing: Ask the factory to demonstrate forward, reverse, turning, emergency stopping, and signal-loss behavior.

7.Final inspection: Request a live operating demonstration and inspection of the finished machine before shipment.

For GPS RTK models, also request a demonstration of route mapping, positioning, obstacle exclusion zones, and automatic navigation.

LEGAO describes itself as a manufacturer with over 20 years of experience and an approximately 20,000-square-meter production base.

For overseas buyers, I recommend requesting a live video tour rather than relying exclusively on factory photographs. You can also request an actual machine operation video and a pre-shipment inspection report.
