They are a wonder to use but too many lawns are uneven that I care for, and too many people buy into the falacy of gravel being low maintenane (as opposed to being super high due to weeding issues and keeping it in place). Sadly, cylinder mowers would = smashed windows and shotgun-esque damage to every tree, shrub and wall in many gardens... that and lots of scalping.
When I first started working for myself, I used a Suffolk Punch 18" cylinder mower... amazingly, it lasted ages. Beautiful cut... better than a rotary mower, wet grass no problem........... only snag was it didn't like long grass and if you hit a stone, it really did damage to the cylinder/bottom blade. Also, every year, the cylinder needed to be reground and a new bottom blade which was a bit of a pain compared to sharpening the rotary.
Its not a honda mower they were made by web mowers for honda
Yes, unfortunately most lawns are a no go area for cylinder mowers. I have about half a dozen weekly mowing jobs that are suitable.
Sharpening a cylinder is sadly beyond me but i have had this one cutting a sheet of paper very cleanly all the way along its width.
I had read that it was web mowers or wolseley webb that manufactured these mowers and were discontinued about 15 years ago. In which case there will be a problem getting spare parts although the lawnmaster cylinder mowers look almost identical.
Certainly a mower that i will be using every week, if only for half a dozen lawns which are all done on the same day anyway.
