Re: Lawnmowers
A Flymo. But not one of the hover ones. I wanted one with wheels as the lawn is over 120 ft long.
Had it a good few years now though and was thinking of replacing it this spring.

Re: Lawnmowers
I've got just under 100 M2 front and back and picked up one of these last year. The grass-catcher is a SOB to secure in exactly the right place but otherwise it's cheap and cheerful abd does the job.

Re: Lawnmowers
We have a Flymo Hover. Fortunately Dad cuts the grass most of the time but when I have done it I get really annoyed having to keep hold of the handle to keep it on!Long slender neck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 5:29 pm Grass needs to get mown soon.
What mower you got?

Re: Lawnmowers
Some sort of petrol one. I don't see it for months on end so don't remember it's name and spec etc. I don't miss it.
But I will wheel it out and service it probably at the end of the month. I'll let youse know how that goes.
I also have a back up electric mower which I acquired from father in laws garage when he sold his house along with many other useful garden implements.
Looking forward to getting the raised beds I built from my old decking and filled with free compost from the council recycle centre into action. I say free but I paid £1 each for the reusable bags and have probably shipped a ton of compost in them so far. Word on the street is they've got some new compost in so I'm off on a raid tomorrow.

Re: Lawnmowers
I pay for the green bin to be emptied and my neighbour shares it.
In return he cuts my grass, suits us both.

Re: Lawnmowers
An old Flymo. Those ones with wheels don't work on lawns on a hillside and I have two. Mowers that catch the grass in a bucket also don't work on hills.

Re: Lawnmowers
This one is pretty good and as much juice as you’ll get from a battery one. #HumbleBrag I very almost got a ride on one cos I get an hour out of this one but it takes about 2/3 charges to do the lot but there’s too many levels. Should get a petrol one really but can’t be arsed getting petrol to fill it up all the time
