hello, I was here a short while ago quizzing about the perils of
neglect but now I must sort the lawn out.

I would welcome any opinion on the best kind (and size) of mower for
this size lawn based on suitability rather than price - it doesn't
have to be bargain-basement but I don't want the RR of mowers either.
Basic maintenance rather than a fine lawn and preferably with
reasonably good grass-collection.

60sq metres. I take that to be 6m * 10m ? As opposed to 60m * 60m (which
would be 3600).

A push mower. I used to mow much more than the that with the cheapest open
cylinder mower available - about 15inches wide - which towed a small grass
box. Did the job fine, requires minimal simple maintenance. I guess a
heavier model with a roller and more blade elements would be a bit better
finish.

I don't think you need power for something that small unless you've got
limited mobility.

Conversely if its 3600sq m, then something petrol powered is probably
required.
