Mulching Mowers
"Bob Hobden" wrote in message ... jmileman wrote.. We'll be moving house shortly and going from a lawn the size of a postage stamp to something around a quarter of an acre. Whilst my little Black and Decker electric mower has done me proud for the last few years I don't think it's going to be up to the job at the new place. I quite enjoy mowing the lawn but I hate the hassle of disposing of the cuttings so am thinking that a mulching mower is the way forward. Does anyone have any recommendations for a mulching mower given the following 1. Must be petrol and self propelled with a decent width (21" or over) 2. Lawn is flat and square (although I will probably put in some borders and beds so the shape is likely to change) 3. Not bothered about stripes 4. We have a 10 year old daughter so lawn will be a 'family' type not some perfectly manicured bowling green 5. Budget around £500 If you intend to make beds in the lawn then you need a roller mower to ease cutting the edges, a wheeled mower will simply fall down the edge and make a mess. Honda is a good make with excellent engines but the cheapest roller mower they do in about £850. Other names are Allett, Viking, but they either don't do what you want or are 4x what you want to pay. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK There are a few wheeled models with an offset rotor. I've got one. It doesn't stop the mower falling off completely but it does help. |
