After using mains electric, I've been looking at petrol rotary LMs. Don't
want anything way upmarket, but would prefer self-propelled type. Hayters
look great but too expensive for me. Mowerlands look good and come in iron
or ali alloy. Iron, someone said, rusts; ali's more expensive. Anybody any
ideas?
Under £300 please.

Suggest that you have a look at Honda Izy range. Powder coated steel
deck and 4.5hp motor, slightly under £300 for a 16" self-propelled and
a bit over for an 18". Should be available at most garden machinery
specialists.
