best lawn mower for hilly yard image
revo2814
I have 2.5 acres....both gentle hills and a huge sloped area. Yard is rough in some areas. What is the best mower. I really like the John Deere zero turns, but I am afraid they will not handle the rough areas and slopes well.
riding lawn mower, lawn tractor, garden tractor....same thing.
Answer
i have a 1977 wheelhorse 10 hp riding mower. i bought it a couple of years ago because i owned one before. as far as i can tell you cannot hurt this mower. my suggestion would be to buy an older mower that still runs well. they are built much stronger than todays mowers and they are inexpensive. also if you are mechanically inclined you can repair most breakdowns yourself. no electronics, no computer. just basic mowers. and by the way, i also have 2 acres, some hilly, some rough. no problem for my wheelhorse.

I can't remember where I read it, but someone once wrote: "The British had discovered the recipe for a perfect lawn: seed and roll for 500 years."
What you have there is a lawn roller. That really is all it does: it's heavy, and it rolls. Its purpose is to flatten out imperfections in a lawn's surface. It can't do anything really big but if you use it often enough, it will eventually, slowly, inexorably beat and mash down every bump in a lawn where it's used.
Where I'm from, flat is kind of uncommon. East Tennessee is mountainous, hilly. A perfectly flat lawn is an abstraction. If you're not into unnaturally flat perfection in your greenery, disregard this tool as the work of the Devil.
Construction, what? What about it. The one you're showing us is homemade. It appears to be a bulk grease barrel that has been filled with concrete. At a guess, I'd peg its weight at somewhere between 250-350lbs, but I don't have an estimate on exactly how big it is so that's subject to real world testing.
To use it, just tow it behind your riding mower when you mow the grass. That's all you have to do.
Value is up in the air. If you want it for its intended purpose, then it's pretty valuable. If you want it as yard art, it's a hunk of homebrew junk - find something more evocative. If you want to sell it, pin the price pretty low. A brand new one that is larger and heavier is only $155 and unlike this one doesn't look like it was hacked together by a frustrated land owner.
