Need to replace lawnmower
Greetings - old petrol lawnmower (cheap reconditioned model but lasted
6 years) has died. It's at the "hospital" being looked at, but I suspect a new one is called for. I have a total of about 400sq metres of lawn, about half of which is nice and level and half is really "bumpy meadow". Moving to the lawn at the front of the house is via a fairly long, stony pathway, so a lot of stress put on the wheels. I would welcome input on which makes are recommended. Will be looking for a self-propelled model this time as the years are passing on! Many thanks |

Many thanks My old Hayter 56 is now at least 15 years old and was heavily used and abused in its early years taming half an acre of wild (mostly) grass and running up and down a gravel drive to reach the front lawn. I got it out Easter weekend and it started second or third pull. Its self propelled via a rear roller so needs no pushing but leaves a nice stripe on the lawn. Mike |

I have a Hayter Double 3, bought for rough orchard grass, but it also does a good job on the lawn if I've let it get a bit shaggy. Tough, perhaps a shade heavy, machine, self-propelled. I remember buying it because it was possibly the last piece of advice my father gave me before he died. He saw my (new) orchard and said, get a Hayter. His logic was that Hayter was the brand local councils and groundsmen chose for cutting large areas professionally. Time seems to be proving his advice sound. |
