Can anybody point me in the direction of a store (pref in New England)
or web site where I could get an English-style lawn mower - I.e. one
with a heavy roller on the back instead of wheels? Push or powered is OK

Rollers are no longer recommended, unless you're maintaining a croquet
court or some such. Too much soil compaction.

How about if I promise to core aerate TWICE a year ? :-)

So you're going to torture your lawn by crushing it every time you mow
and then you're going to torture it by tearing it up twice a year?
