Rover Lawnmower 835m 103

Hi,  has anyone got any experience of using these 18" mowers for wet collection mulching etc . looking for something small / light weight. Are parts easily accessible for this model?

Thanks in advance

    I've no experience with that model but they use the same deck they did 20 years ago (which is fine nothing wrong with it). My Supercut which is 1997 doesn't mulch. But excellent wet collection. Spares would depend on your local dealer, I wouldn't buy from an online shop for something you're going to depend upon for most of your turnover.

    Also is it a pro spec? so if its your main mower I'd suggest going for a something a bit more heavy duty. Could go for one of the pro spec rovers or a used Etesia Pro 46/ Stiga 18 inch and you'd get a bit more weight but a lot more toughness.

  • Hi Seth, thanks for your reply, it isn't my main mower as I have Etesia duo cuts and Hondas but they are all too heavy for a particular regular job I have which is a very fine large lawn.  They insist having it cut every week regardless of weather and my mowers are too heavy for the soft ground. Looked at the Masports and Stigas but unsure of how well they collect in the wet.

  • I have not used a Rover myself. Have you thought a buying another Honda mower. An Izzy model without the rear roller? I got a Viking 2 with a Briggs engine which is lightweight but again is not a rear roller which is my main mower but I picked up a second hand Honda HRB with 16" deck a few weeks ago for a couple of my customers' who git small lawns. A good service and a clean made the Honda a joy to use.
