If it is sloping to a fair degree then you will need to go for a 2 stroke
engine.
Utter ********!
Rude prick!
Honda have been making 4 stroke engines for strimmers and hedgetrimmers
for years with a very successful oil bath system within the "sump" of the
unit that works in any position including inverted.
Which is fine if he is going to cut his lawn with a hedgecutter.
Many of their standard mower engines have a low oil / starvation cut-out
in any case, so steepness of land isn't a problem.
Yes it is, if it cuts out due to oil starvation you can't use it cut that
area.Doh!
If you enjoy the smell of 2 smoke and like fouling plugs and spending more
time starting than mowing then go for a 2 smoke.
maybe your bias is showing, all of the pros. I've seen around here use 2
strokes why is that?
Get a mower you can handle easily. If the grass is to be kept around 1"
and you need a nice striped finish go for a reel mower.
'Reel mower' ? Oh you mean a cylinder mower, are you American by any
chance?
It would explain the rudeness.
Keep the bottom blade sharp and a whisker clear of the rotating reels and
you'll be fine.
If it's a jungle, bad grass and only there to look green then a rotary
will suffice.
Just don't buy cheap as it don't pay in the long run.
If you feel lazy, and have an inclination to making the job easier go for
a sit on with a grass collector.
