Yeah, looking at the roller sectioned grass compared to the non rolled section, I can see a difference and I never used a mower with any roller. I wondered why my Honda mower has that strip of rubber at the back, now I know. I also learned how a roller does it's job too, it is a good school day 😄.

[@themowerman]

Always a school day.. for everyone

[@James-fw1zd]

…”that grass is laying down, laughing at your comment”….😄

[@blabias]

The main advantage of a rear roller rotary is the ability to cut over an edge. Second advantage is the smoothing effect of the roller pushing worm casts flat and leaving more pronounced stripes. Four wheeled mowers are awful long term if you want a traditional lawn. Cylinder mowing, as you know, is the way! Have a good Christmas!

[@themowerman]

Ta for the comment mate your right

[@alandykes2519]

I agree with you Mick all you are getting with a wheeled mower is the wheel marks so you do need a roller 👍👍👍👍

[@themowerman]

Yes Alan.. ta for the comment.. it makes sense right

[@thomascoyne157]

Yes a roller is good you can put stripes on the lawn with the yard brush pulling it behind you and walk up and down with it all you doing is flattening the grass👍👍👍

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate I have seen that

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Can’t beat a roller, takes me back to my childhood where I’d use dads hater harrier 2 and get those beautiful stripes. Good video thanks for sharing mate.

I’ve Got The Mountfield SP42 Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower Costed Me £319 To Buy That’s a Reasonable Cost For The Mountfield Brands She Works Like The Breeze It’s Very Well Put Out And A Remarkable Cutting Angle Is Brilliant

[@jimlepeu577]

The first experiment is the same as the man left my lawn this week - it has stripes but only made by the mowers wheels. My Atco Balmoral 17” leaves well defined stripes and I would never change it while I am fit enuf to use it. 🤠🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✔️

[@Grahams-Grass]

👏 think along as you got nice flat lawns to cut then the rollers the choice .. most of mine are let's say have a lump or 50 in them so the 4 wheel mower is the best option and it climbs slopes well ..do have a 41 roller and the 48 I picked up which I'm looking forward to getting it up and working 💪... glad you took them mowers to the top of the garden where the washing is 👏👏😬

[@themowerman]

Lol Mrs p did notice

[@kevin2landscapes]

Definitely a roller to obtain a nice stripe on your lawn, I have been in the industry for over 35 years and used all sorts of machines so I am no novice. Heavier is better 👍

Yeah mate I agree

Roller is the winner hands down!!

Great video mick. I don't use a string kit. I might have to look into one. I sent you a video of my you without a roller. Thanks for your 📹 video my friend

[@themowerman]

Yes mate I have seen it .. the main difference is that you cut your grass at a different length to us here.. try dragging a metal bar filled with cement behind the mower.. see what it does..

[@paulaskew4143]

A lot of things can make the difference such as the blades needs to be sharp, and pay more attention to where the wheels run coming back.

[@jme36053]

LOL, it’s totally dependent on the amount of beer consumed prior to mowing. ;-) I can’t walk a straight line so striping is out for me regardless of mower used.

[@themowerman]

Lol best comment of the day ..

[@waynestefinashen239]

One or two pints wont hurt mate but when you combine it with a little Proper 12 your getting into trouble eh?

[@tonyroberts1159]

Hi Mick Love watching your videos mate, picked up some great tips 👍🏻 I’m in the garden maintenance business and I have used a fair few mowers over the years. The most reliable mower I’ve ever used and has never let me down has to be the masport rotarolla 18’’ 675xvs. The most solid mower I own and the one I enjoy using the most is the Honda lawnflight pro 553hrs, although I have spent a few quid over the years on drive related issues! Just purchased a Weibang legacy 56 pro and I’d say it’s alright 😂👍🏻

[@themowerman]

Good Mowers.. I love my Kaaz.. and the gearbox is not too hard to fix

You can get lines with a wheeled mower I use one during winter months on lawns as the rollers tend to pick up mud and leave marks when turning

the trouble is a four wheel lawn mower wont smooth the bumps out eventauly and you cant go over the the edge of lawns save having to trim it with the strimmer and they dont leave ruts in the lawn especaily on a clay based soil

A wheeled mower will only do a subtle stripe and to be quite honest you'll probably do a better job with a broom shoved up you jacksie! If you want a "Proper" stripe then a big heavy rollered machine is unbeatable! For instance the Dennis cylinder machines that produce what is known as the Dennis stripe, there's nothing that even comes close. In fear of opening a can of worms here there are a number of ways to improve stripes, for instance length of cut, grooming and burning to start (no not burning as with fire)

[@themowerman]

Yeah good comment mate .. ohhh I have a Dennis.. may have to break it out..

[@chrishale2284]

Hi Mick. I use 2 different Honda's my izy only leaves wheels marks the HRB leaves perfect roller stripes.

i think oranges/apples apply here maybe language barrier stripes or lines and i also think the rubber that are on most mowers i work on are for stopping grass at high settings of wheels its all every ones opinion mick there like assholes everyone has one but there are no roller machines this side of pond so my opinion is based on nothing but observing your videos its only time i see mower with roller and reel mowers as well that have an engine although i just did 40 year old triple reel mower last year from golf club
