Need new mower for domestics

[swinny]

I use the HRX 476 (which is the 19" model) for domestics. Whilst for commercial use or bigger lawns I use the HRX 536 (21" model).

 

The 19" model is ideal for domestics though, not very heavy and easy to manouver.

There's plenty on eBay.

I should have said really its for commercial mowing with "some" domestics.

 

Seems like the hayter harriers are made of cheese? on some reviews....

Etesia on wheels is working for me so far (only a month old). Mulching works well and lawns seem greener despite the heat.

 

Agree re the rollers- not worth the hassle unless you are charging enough to cover it.

 

Anywhere with a formal enough lawn to deserve stripes would have their own in-house gardener anyway!

 

Hayter are all crap.

Etesia or Viking 19" machines seem to be what all the council contractors are using round leeds on the Housing Associations.

I came across this mower being used by a local contractor. I stopped and had a chat as it looked 'handy'. Apart from this picture I know no more! I've just looked for some more info and this is what I have turned up.....ARIENS LM21SW PRO Petrol Mower 179Cc Kawasaki Engine 911397 ((Limited Special)) - Rotary Mowers Find Ariens Rough Cutting Mowers and Mulchers Buy UK

These folk may be agents...R T Machinery - Welcome

 

A Honda powered Etesia would be a good choice and I think Etesia may now have Kawasaki power. My old Briggs powered Etesia is still running 14 years on. Never any problems with the plastic, ever!

look at the toro,s very good mowers they do one which is 26inch cut.

can mulch blow or bag wheeled if i had the work for one that small would consider one.

I have the Honda Pro 536 roller and it is a heavy unit but creates wonderful stripes!

 

If I had a few more large scale commercial contracts I would immediately get an Estesia hydrostatic mulcher. Fast, efficient and saves you a pretty penny on the grass clippings!

 

Hope this helps
