Default Cheapest petrol Lawnmower with rear roller?

You will be hard pressed to find a roller mower (petrol) for under £200. The
UK is the only market for roller mowers, that is why most of the mowers sold
in the sheds (mass multiples) are 4 wheel, because they are made for the
European and American markets.

If you want a cheap mower it will have to be 4 wheel I'm afraid. But the
mowers sold in the £99 to £199 are of dubious quality, the engine is built
to a very low cost and will give problems starting. The height adjusters
tend to break, as do recoil cord and handles.

Like everything in this world you tend to get what you pay for, if you can,
stretch your budget further, if not, look in the yellow pages under
lawnmowers and visit your local independent to see what he has in the way of
second hand machines.
