The ozito is actually pretty damn good for the $$, remove the gears that spin the blade when the wheels are turned and it makes a massive improvement when using it. I use it on sir walter on its lowest setting and it comes up a treat. Just make sure you mow often. It's not perfect but I am using this till it dies, then i'll get an alroh.
It depends on the health of the lawn and levels, but its certainly not considered to be too low provided its not causing scalping. General recommendation for buffalo is between 30-50mm, we have seen it a lot lower and still looking amazing. It will require more inputs (water/fertiliser etc.) the lower you take it.
@@LawnSolutionsAustralia Just wondering as when I first planted my sapphire buffalo I was cutting it with a flymo push mower at 38mm and had all sorts of problems with it dying back the first couple of years but since reverting to a petrol mower at a higher cutting height the lawn has been doing much better
@@EbonP07 could be something specific to sapphire as it is a bit different. Grasses become more tolerant to variation in conditions the more established they are as well. Generally when you are looking to take any grass lower, you go a notch or two lower than your goal height and then bring it back up to where you want it and mow regularly from there. This helps the stem and leaf to grow in at a lower height preventing scalping at the new height. But if you are happy with the height and its healthy, just keep it where it is.
Would love to see review on new ozito scarifier
ozito are currently selling a scarifier at bunnings too

You can buy battery adaptors so you only need one type
Would be great to see some knapsack options.
Ryobi used to make a 18v cylinder mower but unfortunately discontinued it a couple years ago
Is it this one th-cam.com/video/GOoZ-dwKVA0/w-d-xo.html
Is 38mm a bit low to be cutting buffalo lawns?
