Well, as the garden is on the big side in the new place, I don't suppose I can send Mr MM out with a small electric mower anymore. Been looking at both of these. The guy said the ride on mulcher was the best but they are more expensive so that might have been why he is pushing it. Anyone know which is best?

I dont know ..maybe mr MM will have a play with both and being a bikey guy I bet he will go for the fastest!!

Will uses both and he prefer the mower, BUT he says it depends on what area of grass you have to cut, if its loads then your better with a mulcher as you will be forever emptying the bucket

It isn't huge, only three quarters of an acre..........well ok it is huge to me but then my garden just now is the size of a stamp.
Wheelies? In a tractor? That I have to see!
(I said wheelies..in a tractor...in the voice that the guy used in that advert....pea and ham?.....from a chicken?)

its not hard.. its gravity...you put the baler spike on the back and spike a round bale drive the tractor across the field to the feeding rings and the hill is that steep that the tractor tips up. puts the shites up me so I only drive on the flat but OH has no nerves and just keeps giving it throttle til it comes down again ( or maybe you cut back on the throttle.. not sure..) , hes a biker as well, big red jap beastie (honda) in his shed. and he goes like stink on the quad. Me, I go sedately.. well a dash sight slower than him. I do tank along a bit in a car now and again.. but thats another story.and not in the 30s. Hes an ex army driver of big machines and is an HGV oil tanker driver now. a sit on mower would be right up his street but the sheep and the rabbits and the deer do it all for him!
he does take the topper out round the fields later on when the grass gets speaky and thin to make it come thicker and greener again. I suppose thats his version of sitting on mowing! :076:

It took OH from 8am till 3pm yesterday to cut our grass :035: we have a petrol mower but it's not a ride on and not propelled
He was talking last night about getting a ride on
No idea which is best but wish you the best of luck with it

Don't know I'm afraid, depends how much loose grass the mulcher leaves around for dogs etc to bring into the house on their feet maybe?
But as I said in the other thread.....there's always wallabies :045:
