I have a lawn which takes about an hour to cut with a rotary mower and 2
acres of field. I was intending to buy a tractor and topper until a
friend lent me a Simplicity Grand Baron 20/40, I collected the grass
off the lawn and mowed the field without collecting. The field was damp
and fairly long, I was impressed with how well it coped, it jammed a
couple of times in long nettles but otherwise went flat out through the
grass.
I have since spoken to various dealers who recommend Countax with the
brush collector. They are quite pricey, but I can buy a similar Hayter
ST42H at a discount as it is dicontinued. My friend is also selling his
year old Simplicity. I have to decide between Simplicity 20/40 and
Hayter ST42H
I understand that Honda's and Lawnflite etc are not built as well as
Simplicity and the bigger Hayter and Countax are better built still.
I have been told differing stories by various dealers, that brush
collection is better than blowing and vice versa. Also that the brush
collectors are not as monoeuverable due to their size.
Can anybody offer advice?

As nobody has replied I am thinking of the Simplicity as it will mulche
my lawn and when used on the field I can blow out all grass and it is
spread evenly, the Hayter doesnt mulch and if used in the field without
the sweeper would leave the grass in a row. My only concern is the
Simplicity could clog on wet grass.

Any comments welcome
