    the Honda costs nearly £700

    with that budget, I would look at this:

    Etesia Pro 51K 21" ... £595 and add another £50 for courier delivery ... add a new blade and airfilter/sparkplug/oil and it will work out to approx £700 .... you will then have one of the best commercial mowers on the market that costs nearly £2000 and that can pick up grass in the rain

    at the end of every season, send it in for a service for approx £120-£150 and it will last you a lifetime

    Etesia Pro 51K 21"cut contractors h/duty mower 2001, little used, excellent | eBay

    if you are patient, you may find one for a bit cheaper

    as for a scarifier and aerator, don't buy one .... hire them for a day ....you only need to scarify and aerate once a year

    Ah right thanks.

    I will have a look whats about.

    It took me ages to decide on the other 2 options, now back to the drawing board.

    However, thats why I signed up here as I knew that you guys would have far more knowledge than a simple fellow like me!!

    Dig it up and put it down to cabbages. You know it makes sense. ! . . . . Cheers, Tony.
