Default What's the best petrol mower for long grass ??

pretty

and

|
| Also on the low setting, I cannot even knock the top of daisies or clover.

| Ive seen a guy down the road, who has a similar model, and his blade is
| blunt and chipped and it is 20 years old.

| With the mower turned over on its side and engine OFF, you can get hold of
| his blade and its very hard to turn, whereas mine is very easy to turn.

also, some models like mine have a brake that stops the blade moving when
the running leaver is released. that would explain why his blade don't
turn. if you hold the leaver in, the blade should turn easier.
