That's fine if you have a flat, short grass, lawn that isn't on a hill. I
can hardly push our 18" petrol rotary across our "lawn", but the rabbit
scrapings, mole runs and the fact it's always cut on the highest setting
probably don't help. As for the paths on hills going down would be fine
up, no chance.


I have a steep sloping lawn too, but mow across the slope not up and down
it!
