If you want a mower that will bag in the wet the best I have found is an etesia pro 46, very light but still robust. It's not the fastest self drive but you can get a pulley that makes it faster.
Thanks Dave, is the Etesia a roller mower? I can't recall seeing one before. Any one using a Kabuta roller mower? I asked one of the guys from a big contractor near me what mowers they are running and he said unfortunately hayter 56, apparently none of his guys like them and they'd prefer the Kabuta
It's not but they a add on roller for it.
We ran a Kubota 21" Pro for a few years until contracts changed and it was sold on. Kubota is fan assisted collection and within reason will fill the bag in all conditions. Not sure what weight mower you currently use but beware the Kubota's are heavy compared to some.
The 19" kaaz/lawnflite/cobra/kubota are great mowers, rev the engine up and fit a high lift blade. It's what I've got. I also have access to a non pro spec weibang Legacy 56V and it is a lovely mower to use with great collection. It's lighter than the pro spec so the 48cm version would be worth a look.
anyone know what speeding the rev's up on mowers does to the emissions? just asking as boris is worried about the environment, its worse than corona apparently, which is reassuring in a strange way. I use mostly cordless mowers which aren't as powerful for bad conditions (long wet grass not great). So have to choose my days carefully and don't mow none stop irregardless of the weather, this means I have a smaller lawn round than many but find them good for domestic/ light commercial type jobs
So basicly cordless mowers to a guy who needs
to earn a regular income weekly regardless of
The weather are pretty much useless ??
Each to their own I guess... I have other income streams than mowing lawns, although I enjoy doing them and do several every week during the season... just seems a shame that the petrol ones these days need "souping up" a bit to do the job. I have petrol mowers in the shed as back up but in practice they are rarely used. I'm not accusing anyone of being an environmental criminal but personally would not accept a product which has to be modified in such a way
shows how when giving views on machines & business on here, u need to know background and all of who's giving it - there experience, size, marketplace otherwise could give problems if someone takes it as gospel
Yes been doing the gardening for over 30 years now, but am still learning of course. The battery gear requires a slightly different way of working but it certainly makes me a decent living, and for less effort somehow. There is no shame in examining one's own working practices to see if things can be done in a less polluting manner whilst still being efficient
