I need a new walk-behind mower for my patch. What would the team

All ideas welcome.

What is the size of the patch? Is it level or sloped? Is it uneven or
smooth?


3 separate bits, all level and smooth. Total perhaps 5 x 10 metres.

The Bosch Rotak 40, is currently a Which Best Buy

Chris, thanks for that. I'm not sure it would be right. Some of the bits
are rather far from the house. But it's a good price certainly, even
with extra cable. I'll think about it.

If some of the areas are a bit far from the house, have you considered a
cordless mower? They aren't cheap, but they could easily handle 5 x 10
metres.
