hi everybody, im looking for a new mower. i have, at present, a qualcast 38cm which cuts almost perfectly until you set it at a very low hieght when you then get "ripple" effect on the lawn.
im after a petrol free/electric free mower minimum of 8 blades in the cylinder and preferably a 20" cutting width and something that will go down to about quarter inch cut.

Is there any out there with this spec or will i have to get a blade manufactured for my qualcast?

im almost completely satisfied with the qualcast because of its extreme lightness in weight and the blade is easy to sharpen by using a cordless drill and lapping compound.

or can this qualcast be modified by replacing the gears inside the wheel???
im hoping to find here a clever old hand who may have altered an existing handpush lawnmower so it performs like the old classics that they dont seem to produce anymore, or is it i just cant find a one......

thanks to you all for reading this thread and look forward to your replies
