    Yeah, looking at the roller sectioned grass compared to the non rolled section, I can see a difference and I never used a mower with any roller. I wondered why my Honda mower has that strip of rubber at the back, now I know. I also learned how a roller does it's job too, it is a good school day 😄.

    The main advantage of a rear roller rotary is the ability to cut over an edge. Second advantage is the smoothing effect of the roller pushing worm casts flat and leaving more pronounced stripes. Four wheeled mowers are awful long term if you want a traditional lawn. Cylinder mowing, as you know, is the way! Have a good Christmas!

    👏 think along as you got nice flat lawns to cut then the rollers the choice .. most of mine are let's say have a lump or 50 in them so the 4 wheel mower is the best option and it climbs slopes well ..do have a 41 roller and the 48 I picked up which I'm looking forward to getting it up and working 💪... glad you took them mowers to the top of the garden where the washing is 👏👏😬

    Hi Mick
    Love watching your videos mate, picked up some great tips 👍🏻
    I’m in the garden maintenance business and I have used a fair few mowers over the years.
    The most reliable mower I’ve ever used and has never let me down has to be the masport rotarolla 18’’ 675xvs.
    The most solid mower I own and the one I enjoy using the most is the Honda lawnflight pro 553hrs, although I have spent a few quid over the years on drive related issues!
    Just purchased a Weibang legacy 56 pro and I’d say it’s alright 😂👍🏻

    A wheeled mower will only do a subtle stripe and to be quite honest you'll probably do a better job with a broom shoved up you jacksie!
    If you want a "Proper" stripe then a big heavy rollered machine is unbeatable! For instance the Dennis cylinder machines that produce what is known as the Dennis stripe, there's nothing that even comes close.
    In fear of opening a can of worms here there are a number of ways to improve stripes, for instance length of cut, grooming and burning to start (no not burning as with fire)
