Anyone used a Etesia hydro 80 (Bahia)

Posted by Jake on June 10, 2026 at 6:30pm

Desperately need a ride on, the etesia hydro/ Bahia will be ideal because it fits all the sites I would use it and almost any garden gate.  My question is how low does it cut , looking at the specs is says 44mm which doesn't sound very short. I know there's plenty of people on here with experience with them so your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. I normally cut with a Honda hrx537 on 1.5 or 2 but spec for this mower says lowest is 25mm

Just want reassurance that it leaves a good finish when collecting and acceptable when mulching

Also any tips or pointers on them, looking at a Bahia with Kawasaki engine mainly because I can't find any commercial hydro 80 at the moment

    Also if anyone has one they are looking to sell please get in touch because a used one seems to be like hens teeth

    There is a nice looking Hydro 80 recently listed for sale on Gumtree at roughly 1/2 new price. One problem for you is that it's in Brechin (Just North of Dundee). Just found it whilst looking for something else.

      Yes unfortunately that is the only one currently on the market and it's over 12 hour round trip for me

      Thanks for the reply though
