Posted by Mitchel ingham on January 17, 2016 at 12:07pm in Machinery
Right really need a mower that can cut wet grass got a couple of izys with fabric bags and there rubbish . So I've looked for a second hand etesia nothing close or not over priced then stumbled across viking mowers with the plastic box surely that would add to better pick up plus plastic deck?

    Mitchel, 

    Get a viking 6 series, i paid around 750 brand new for mine, 2  years commercial use, cost be £40 on a repair. Picks up wet grass well, clods if its really long but i don't have a problem cutting fortnightly growth whilst the ground is wet and its raining hard.

    It's not just the plastic box on the Etesia it's the deck design too

    Can not comment on Etesia because they haven't produced a mower with a roller up until very recently. But if you need stripes then a mower with a lofted blade (curved up at the ends) and a plastic box will alow you cut in wet conditions all day long.

    I run 3 Viking 21" MB655VR and for continual non stop day in day out all weather conditions domestic mowing then I haven't used or know of a better mower.
    All purchased second hand from eBay for less than £500 each.
    Note the Viking 21" is a far better mower than the 19" imo and I have owned both.
