I would say that it depends on the area and type of customer that you are going after. If higher end, then you will need a roller mower. If not, then you don't really need one. Remember that roller mowers are generally more expensive to buy, and a lot more expensive to maintain and repair.
if just starting out, I would stick with the 4-wheel until you see a demand for roller cuts from customers. Maybe by the time your 4-wheel needs replaced, you will know the demand better.
Like ! Great advice 👍
Thanks for the great advice i always thought evey wanted stripes
Ian, is right. As for weibang read the post "mowers mowers mowers" you are warned!
You won't get a better 4 wheeler than honda hrx537 hy
I did have the honda hrx537 hy i thought it was to big for the small lawns thought it was a great machine apart from it being to big and sold it was thinking of getting the smaller one 476
Dougie, whatever you buy DON'T get the Weibang. I have told my story about it enough times here before.
Thanks i will have a look see if i can find it
Just seen your post there about your weibang a lot of bad reviews on the weibang my dealer recommends this as the best machines in the market
Dealers will always to sell the machine they have the largest margin in. We are lucky ours tell the truth!
For our domestic round days, of which the majority are small to medium, we carry a 4 wheeled Stihl 4 series mower and a Hayter Pro 41. We use the Hayter on the fancier lawns and it leaves a beautiful finish but is only any good in dry weather. The Stihl 4 wheeler is used for everything else plus is great in the wet. Like Ian says, there is so much more expense with a roller mower and if you can get away with just using 4 wheeled mowers then maybe do that until you feel like you really need a roller if customers are asking for the stripes.
