Addicted to grass, which mower type ?
Looking at a new mower, the self propelled Hayter cylinder type mower I have now does a beautiful job but costs and arm and a leg to sharpen, according to the salesman unless youre cutting the greens at St Andrews a cylinder type is overkill for an airstrip. He's suggesting a rotary type with a spinning blade or loose blades on the end of a blade bar or even a flail topper that will go on the three point linkage on the back of the 60hp Ford tractor. I like the grass cut with a nice finish and am concerned that the rotary or flail with leave an "agricultural" type finish. Another concern with the mower mounted on the back of the tractor is the tractor tires will push the grass down before it gets to the mower.
What's everybody else using, any thoughts ?
