Anyone use a cylinder mower for domestic grass cutting jobs?
chris hennelly replied to Big T's topic in Landscaping
....i found with a cylinder,unless you cut every week it wouldnt cope with length or wet grass,whereas a honda rotary with roller would cut,in the rain and leave stripes,roller means you can cut over the edges without falling in,as with wheels,i found also that wheels leave ruts over time in the lawn.....also i dont put the stripes the same way every time,but cut to all points of the compass to avoid grass bending same way,then being missed.............(i had a 30" atco cylinder with a kawasaki engine,but sold for a vast loss to get a rotary)......hope this helps. c. -

Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry
chris hennelly replied to Goaty's topic in General chat
......the number of times i have "Husky" or "Huskie"used to denote Huskvarna..(other makes are available),and even if "Huskvarna"is used,I believe the proper pronunciation,phonetically would be something like... Hooskwarna...maybe some Danish speakers could give a definitive pronunciation to avoid further mis understanding.................... -
