Petrol Lawnmower

Overwhelming support for a rear wheel self drive Honda, not cheap but will last years, even second hand can be a good buy.
Maintaining the grass is all I do in the garden, all the weeding, plant potting etc is by others so my Honda is my best friend. Take the plunge if you can. ATB

Second hand Hayter. They are heavy old buggers and have Briggs and Stratton engines, but are fantastic at cutting the grass. They also have a very clever rear "shoot" that stops damp or wet grass getting clogged (maybe useful up north). I bought one a few years ago and sold it for more than I bought it for as they apparently are sought after. PS I now have a Mountfield with a Honda engine, the Honda backfires 2/3 of the time on start and scares me and the dog!

With a garden that big I’m surprised he didn’t get lost.

Very impressive Ed, looks like PVR had Jeremy Clarkson around with his tractor.

Some people are born with one leg shorter than the other, it's just nature! (which is why I ditched the striper and got a "chewer").

There was an invite for breakfast a couple of years ago for The South East Hooners if we cut his grass .

I need to see the proof by means of a picture of the lawnmower fitting the width of the stripes

It was actually a compliment, I can never get them straight

You won’t with a field that big…you’re naturally following the curvature of the earth…
