I took the mower with a certain Skepis in use, because of the warnings that the mower needs a possible "smooth", level surface. Now I must say that our lawn interspersed with tufts of grass is different ... that wants to be yet a lawn. The area is usually very high because it is a so-called weekend plot very far away from our main residence and therefore little can be maintained. Unfortunately, the grass grows too fast. The cylinder mower has everything done with flying colors, though very'm going come sweat to have bought this part because of the possible criticism and now it does not work ... But the roads were free within a short time and very well brought into shape with occasional refinishing. The height adjustment of the spindle can even mow well taller grass. If you still adheres to the notice, to edit only possible dry surfaces, it has no grass then what the spindle stops turning on the axis. Do you have to just learn. In summary: I let nothing come to my new garden helper! and am thrilled.
