as a self employed gardener of 33 years ,i cant believe what im about to say,ive used etesia mowers for years ,brilliant mowers worth every penny,however i neede to get a cheap mower to keep as a spare mower so i picked a 2nd hand gardenline mower for £40.i decided to test it on of of my maintenance jobs,it did a bril job so good the customer asked me to use that instead of the other mowers,i ended up taking it out on a daily basis,it cuts wet grass with no problems,it runs great,i was so chuffed with it i now own 3 and sold my other mowers.

Yes Rob there is an answer, and you've already got it. Have 2 mowers. One for the nice weather and one for the bad weather. A mower that leaves a fantastic finish for the majority of the time e.g. a Hayter or Honda or similar, and one for the bad weather e.g. the Stihl or Etesia. That's it. Easy peasy. And re your points about the finish, a mower designed for cutting in terrible conditions is never going to leave quite as good a finish at the pro roller mowers, but if you're only using them in the rain then it doesn't matter. Enjoyed the video as always.

Hi Rob, Love the videos btw. I don’t understand why other mower manufacturers insist on mesh collection bags. It’s clear that a plastic collection box is best for wet grass. As we have so much rain here in the uk you’d have thought they would have added them to improve their performance. I know the Etesia has one but as you say it’s a slower and weighty mower. Keep mowing the green gold Rob. 😊

That’s the 4 wheel mower I use in conjunction with my Cobra pro roller. Yes it is a good all rounder, as all mowers are a compromise. Like the plastic grass catcher, like the speed and I like it for small lawns and tight access. I find it very good in dry, damp and light wet conditions but it has struggled in the early season when it was very wet and long. But as an all rounder it is excellent, not as good as Weibang but much lighter and miles better than Toro and Hayter and I rate Stihl dealers highly. Great post Rob

Rob ive always used cobra mowers. Last year I thought I would treat myself to a honda hrn 537 with blade brake, twin clip, and mulching slide. Biggest mistake I've made. It was horrendous, surging engine, noisy, wouldn't drive when the bag was half full, used to leave wheel marks, would rip at the grass. Anyway managed to get rid of it and replaced it with a Sthil RM 650V. Wow is all I can say, cuts beautifully, fills the box brim full, ploughs through long grass without dropping revs. My only regret is not buying the model with the blade brake. The lawn finish looks 100% better than the honda. I noticed you are not happy with the sthil finish. I was told before I used the sthil was to use 3-4 coats of car polish on the underside of the deck and shine it up which is supposed to throw the grass around the deck and into the box easier which then allows the blade to cut the standing grass easier without pre cut grass causing friction.

Funny I bought a stihl rm545vr two weeks ago and after 15 years gardening I've found perhaps the perfect mower.the plastic box means airflow is easily maintained and its light and doesn't dig in.its not blocked once and I've done about 40 gardens with it Really good price £600 from charlies and it has a roller. Only negative is obviously its not massive but ideal for most gardens and those with steps...and not the fastest. My honda hrx476 which I've used for years is sitting in the garage and will probably be sold.the weak drive meant I was doing some of the work to push it along and not great in the wet.. And heavy.if the stihl had a honda engine it would be perfect but the brings seems OK Time will tell.i have a big honda for larger gardens on a dry day and will carry that with the stihl.its a fantastic mower.i bought a small weibang last summer with high lift blade and that blocks with wet grass.for the money if I get 2 seasons out of the stihl I will be very happy

As my Grandpa always said, "you don't mow grass when it's wet."

Put your rpm upto 3400rpm and you'll see a massive difference In bagging and the finish. Stihl mowers come really underpowered

It's time you pronounced Stihl correctly, it's STEEL, it niggles me a little 😂 you're not alone with your pronunciation, but our German friends need it saying right 😂

if its that good its worth having just to use on wet days. It looks like its got a very open mesh on the bag so theres less effort to chuck the grass in the bag so my guess thats its secret

When it comes to tall wet grass, airflow generated by the blade is all - you want loads of airflow. My toro, a timemaster, is rubbish at mowing wet grass - the 2 small blades create sod all airflow, which is why Timemasters are so poor at collecting. However on short dry grass, it flies, usually fast as or faster than a ride-on. Utterly crap at mowing tall wet grass tho. It clogs almost straight away - so I need a second machine for when its wet - which is usually whatever boggo reasonably highly powered single blade machine with a Briggs I/C engine that is knocking about the shed. For those who swear by Etesia for wet grass, I've had 2 and didn't find them anything special at all - wouldn't rate them considering the cost, there was loads I disliked about them & I don't get the hype. I put them up for sale when both were clapped out and there was a queue of buyers - Baffles me. They proved no more durable than some mowers I've had that were half the price. But each to their own. I only have the Timemaster because my local dealer had one in that was 3 months old, had blown its head gasket & wouldn't drive - they'd refunded the customer & it was just sitting there. I gave them 400 quid for it, fixed it & have run it since. Only bought it because my everlasting fave Honda had finally crapped the bed after years of dogs abuse. I preferred the Honda by far, lol.

I don’t think it’s a good finish but then again that lawn does look in poor nick!
