    Default Which Ride On Mower

    We need a new ride on mower at the scout camp as the oldie's about to die.

    Need one with a 36" or over cut width.

    What mower would you recommend? (and why?)

    All donations gratefully accepted
    (well I gotta try)
    Regards, Bob Thomas

    As the forums conservationist I would have thought you would have recommended a goat, or at least a sheep.

    Plant some wattle. Grows fast and improves the soil.

    I had a Deutscher, twin blades and cut very well. So well, in fact, that I now have 6 toes on my left foot (true!)

    Couldn't cope with the slopes tho (no, no no, I mean the hills), so I exchanged it.

    Good mower tho

    Nice one Harry, I like feature number 30.

    I think we had a hijack like this once before... ended up with jet powered barstools.

    & more, I found the thread.
