    Drive is great and fast! This particular model if I recall correctly didn't have the front wheel issue. Flipping heavy and to be honest doesn't give as nice a finish as the Hayter.

    Hi Martin,

    Occaisionally I use a MTD lawnflite, which has a rear roller, on larger lawns. Mainly because the customer is looking for that tennis court look. Though it does give the strips & cuts well, I do find the self propelled element slows me down a little..However I was taught to walk with a mower & not run!!

    Overall the effect is impressive, to be honest I'm looking for a smaller rear roller say 16" for the smaller and curvier border gardens.

    Good luck
