thegreatestben Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ya know when you buy one of something and you always seem to end up with many of them, well like with MR2's I have begun another sick obsession, this time... Reel mowers. Hmmm Well here's the line up Some of you may recognize the Speedicut, The masport is a frankenstein, I smacked my 6.5hp honda clone on it, somewhat over-powered. And the morrison I picked up tonight, I haven't got any petrol around but turning it over it has a very healthy start and is very very clean and tidy over-all. I have also bought another big mofo, I bought the morrison and asked how much the chap wanted for this other one (I'm not sure what it is but it's a 500 something wide). Also turns out this dude (who's a friend of a friend) gets reel mowers often, and he's gonna supply them too me at a very sharp rate. I'm a weirdo haha.

ThePog Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Mowing lawns is lame, it is all about the collecting, surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have a lush lawnmaster I got off GT_Escortina but usually use my neighbours rotary as my lawn got all bumpy after the quakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 use rotary to scalp it flat and then when ur done tell neighbour to sharpen his blade cos its blunt lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Haha who actually mows their lawns with these things? Nah I use the masport but its ineffective against things that aren't grass. I'm hoping this big one will be in good Nick and accept the gx motor. I think ill sell the rest once I've got one in acceptable working order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have read you want to do that in autumn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've got a Morrison real (sic) mower in the garden shed. It only gets used at christmas time for smoothing out the lawn nicely for family party. Grass has to be short, so it has to be pre-mowed. Always seems to fire up OK though, even after year-long holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Got the Morrison fired up, once warmed up the smoke cleared up and she cut a lot better than the other two. If anyone's interested I'm happy to part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
