Hello,

Well my repairs to my lawnmower have not been particularly
long-lasting, so I am back looking for a new mower. I see that petrol
mowers come in 41cm or 46cm width of cut. That doesn't seem much of a
difference: is it?

About 5cm ;-)


I usually overlap the strips I am mowing by around 5 cms. Otherwise, I
miss bits. So the effective cutting width is 36cms, compared to 41cms.


A bigger overlap is also a fairly good way of cutting long or wet grass.

If the garden isn't too large I would go for the smaller blade model.
Probably they would have the same size/power of engine and the one
fitted with a smaller blade would handle difficult cutting better (start
of season long grass or cutting when still very wet)
