"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…"

"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"

" At £180 per day you are hugely under charging. Using hand mowers on this job is very inefficient and really very hard work.
I have a Toro 4875 zero turn [48 inch] and a Stiga Park 700 WX [4 wheel drive]. They are both mulching mowers, so no…"
