petrol lawn mower recommendations?

Martin Brown was thinking very hard : Odd. I have used both sorts and never had an electric one stall on me. Every mower, electric hover (the early orange hover machine), rotary engined and even the current tractor and its immediate predecessor have suffered stalls. More so in the first cuts of the season, but better as the weather warmed up and the grass became drier. I had to be ready to lift the hover off the grass, when I heard it labouring too much. If you wait until the grass is ridiculously long before cutting it or try to cut it when it is far too wet then yes you probably can. All those which collected grass, have suffered frequent choking with cuttings too. Today the grass was warm and it was fairly dry - using a 14HHP tractor/mower as usual without any grass collection, it managed to choke up it's duct around 5 times, to the point where I had to stop and poke the duct clear with a stick. I have tried running without the duct, but that blows the cuttings onto the drive pulleys and eventually jams the drive system at the back axle/ diff. Something doesn't sound right. I sometimes have to free the grass exit if I try to cut one more stripe than I should have done but you can hear the tone of the motor change and see bits of grass dropping out the back when the collection chamber is nearly full. I tend to push it a bit close since I prefer to be at the end nearest the heap when I stop. I blame lack of mechanical sympathy for your woes. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
