Anyone use a cylinder mower for domestic grass cutting jobs?

Ok guy's, thanks for the advice! Etesia here we come!

 

No no I really rate etesia mowers but if u want to make lawns look nice and regular cutting is needed honda is the way forward

Etesia leave wheel lines and after a while they look like tramp lines

We use etesia pro 51ks yes they are one hell of a mower and if the grass is long and wet they still cut

Honda is a mower u can't really let the grass get to long regular grass cutting jobs 7days between cuts

And we use ransomes materdor CYL on 3 of are sites really sweet cut but when leafs fall we end up using the hondas

 

Hope this helps mate

Cheers for the advice mate! In the past I have used a honda, not sure what model but it cost around 1k and wasn't really that impressed. I much preferred the Stiga that we used to use!

Have a good look at the Viking range I've just replaced my 484t with a 5 serries after 3 seasons still works fine but needed two mowers now

A good alternative to the Honda roller mower is the Kaaz, especially if you need a 48cm. The Honda of that size is not much cop.

 

If you want a 17" roller mower then the JD R43RVE is worth a look, or the slightly cheaper R43VE.

 

And, as you say, if you do not want a roller mower then the Stiga is well worth a look. Exceptionally good value for money.
