Thanks Mike

The garden is about 40foot square

I have a dirt cheap 30cm electric rotary and it does cut the grass,
but often I cant get a chance to do it as regularly as I should
So sometimes I am cutting 4" of grass, and the box is tiny
(two lines of the garden and its empty time)

The electric one struggles here and its patchy clumps a plenty!
The convenience of the petrol will see me cutting it more regularly also

can I hang a petrol mower or does it have to be kept flat?
(my shed is tiny)

Are petrols a maintenance nightmare?
I like the way my electric, just comes out of the shed
and back in it goes - thats it

Regards

Apart from putting fuel in I have never even had to put oil in mine its a 6
year old Honda, its never been serviced, these days the engines are great,
its the decks that rot out or crack, I have had to repair mine and I think
it's probably on its last season. Shame the engine starts half way through
the first pull every time. I suspect though a new deck and wheels will cost
as much as new mower!
