Once upon a time in a far off land where honest sales reps inhabited mower shops that knew their products, the competitions products, the general weather conditions, the grasses that were grown in the shops footprint and the local topography these mythical creatures would direct you to the right mower for your yard.
What people fail to understand is the perfect mower for me can be a disaster for you.
So when a topic like this comes up, every one who is happy with their mower chimes in without considerations to the actual posters requirements .
Mind you a lot of posters have to be dragged screaming to give the forum members the minimum information needed to make an informed decision as to which mowers the poster should look at .
I like to go the other way & provide a list of current models to avoid and models that are totally wrong for the posters conditions .No mower will give a better cut than a Walker due mainly to the strong deck air flow and the massive overlap of the timed blades
But if you leave mowing for as long as possible ( can't find the dog any more ) then they are a disaster and similar story with very rough ground or very sandy soils .
Sandy soils need low lift low deck air flow decks and by prefference mulching blades or very low lift blades
While it is great to get feedback from people who are very happy with their current mower, the question is will the sam mower provide the same service to a different user in a different climatic condition cutting different grasses .
S if you want to sing the praises of your mower then please give a rough location so the poster can get an idea of your climate, a description of your yard , soil type & grasses .
