Thanks IVECOKID. Always good to have more than one view on a machine.

at one client I have 30m down a 1 in 4 to get to the lawn and 30m .

 

Think you need one of those petrol driven mountain goat thingys.

 

Might be better looking for something older. they don't make em like they used to.

 

Petrol flymo and leaf blower not an option?

No. It's fine for mowing because the grass areas I cut aren't too slopey. The steepness is in getting to and from them. Hence the reason that I like the blade brake so that I can leave the engine running and drive the mower in and out of the difficult ones rather than having to push it up. If the grass was that steep then I'd certainly be looking at other options. My grass cutting is spread between larger commercial areas that are fairly flat and large and small domestic lawns, some of which are on the flatter parts of a sloping garden, meaning that it's a pain getting the mower in or out but fine once you're there. It's not a major drama. The Honda has always driven in or out without any problems and gives a nice cut when dry, but when it's wet it has a habit of clogging in the mouth of the chute, which is why I was looking around at other options before going for another Honda.
