        Yo Fandango,

        if I get a ride on shall I get it with the grass collector or chuck it out the side ?

        Does that thing leave lines of grass cuttings across the lawn

            How does this cope if you have flat flagstones in the garden, similar to the ones in your picture?
            Have a similar sized garden, how long does it take?
            I get a gardener in periodically and he costs a fortune so thinking of doing it myself.

              FFS what does it take to tend to a tub of pampas grass on your balcony?

                  Second hand? INKSPE! This is probably about your level:

                      I've got a Zero turn recycler mower with a 50 inch deck with which I mow about 2 acres, the remaining acres animals graze on. Zero turns are about 2 times faster than the old style sit on and cope with inclines more easily plus it mulches so no grass collection and it fertilizes the grass.
