    My advice would be not to buy any of em, they'll only break your heart.

    Ha ha. well shur if I got a half decent one it should be okay. I can't use a rotry as it's all stones. . . And too strong for a lawn mower.

    back in the day i used a pierce 2a mower, behind a fergusson 20 desiel, it was a fair yoke to work, the advantage of it is you can tilt the fingerbar upwards, which means most small obsticles etc are untouched, key component is edge, the old folk hereabouts when i was a chaap used to say one has to be a good liar to be able to edge properly, nowdays with the new fangled tools it is easier, also keep all bolts full tightned, when changing the blade check all nuts and bolts, oil and grease are cheaper than spare parts, thats all i can think of, oh going around a field at a fast speed will loosen any thing which can become loose, then its lost, another spare part is then required.
