I currently live in a villa with a couple of patches of lawn, and use an Ozito electric mower that's perfect.
However next month I'm moving to a house on a third of an acre, mostly lawn. I possess an old Briggs n Stratton endowed mower that's a 16 inch cut but that just won't cut it, literally so I'm keeping it as a spare. I can just imagine starting it up and hearing it yell "what the fark!".
Now, as you gentleman and any ladies love lawn mowing to work up that important thirst, as well as having an excuse to brew a lawnmower lager, I'd appreciate any recommendations;
It's an Aussie traditional grass looking lawn, not Buffalo thank goodness.
Ideally I'll need something with a 21 inch cut and self-propelled. On a block that size, that would make me walk at least 3 kilometres. That's fine, but I have no intention of actually pushing the thing for 3k and those mothers are heavy (checked one out at a Honda dealer) and the long block has a slight slope.
Honda: Looked fine in the dealers but Internet comments slag them off, apparently they get hard to start and on the "mulch" setting they just tend to spit gobs of mushy grass at you.
Toro and Masport: any good?
I see good old Rover are still in business.
Looking to spend up to $900.
