You wont get stripes with a hover, you need something with a rear
roller,
usually a cylinder mower but some rotaries have them too. rotary mowers
are
also good on uneven ground (although no mower likes too many humps and
bumps) My advice buy a cheapish rotary and forget the stripes! :~)

cheers for that charlie, are rotary mowers good at mowing right up to the
footpath?
and do they need any special care?
Rotaries need less adjustments than cylinder mowers (I do nothing to mine
from one year to the next!) if you look, some rotary designs have the wheels
on one side offset to allow the blades to cut over edges, rear rollers have
much the same effect.
