Walk behind Mow Faster

They are neat looking mowers. Are they exported or is it strictly a West Australian thing?

They are only a Western Australia thing...........as we mow our lawns short.......generally 10mm height.
The Turf we grow here is like a Bowling or golf green........and yes we are unique or freaks.......lol.
the turf named 'Bent' is a classic example...........just google and you will see what I mean.:confused2:

I did Google it and was surprised that there are so many varieties of "Bent". It seems like it's popular in Western Australia, although it grows in other places, but it's only used there for golf courses, etc.

People love their lawns here in western Australia..........they spend thousands of dollars on them a year.......but they get the temperature of the house down compared to having Paving Bricks.:confused2:

The Honda motor is now doing 4,500Rpm.........sounds really good, but it chews the fuel up at a alarming rate.
Tipped the edger over, it has a GX 120 Honda 4 horse power..........and it had petrol coming out of the exhaust.
Fully locked up with raw petrol in chamber........had to change the engine oil and wind engine over with spark plug out to get rid of excess fuel.
Now it running well after 10 minutes.........was smoking out of exhaust ........but all is good now.

Mowing at night or low light is a option for people as they can install lights on their Mowers.
That is is you are not breaking any Laws governing your time of mowing?
Do you have any restrictions........like mowing on Sunday?:confused2:

I mentioned that I have a Honda-powered brush mower, "Billy". It's a substitute for my diesel-powered Kubota tractor -- when the slope is too steep or the clearance is too narrow, I use Billy. I've noticed a huge difference in the fuel consumption between the two: the Kubota is much more efficient.

In the City of Atlanta there's a noise ordinance but I don't know if my mower (The Lawn Boy, which has a huge muffler, is very quiet) would run afoul of the law. I don't think the ordinance differs by day of the week. I don't mow at night out of courtesy to my neighbors.

At my place out in Cleburne County, AL, I'm far enough from neighbors that there's absolutely no issue with running a mower or any other equipment at any time.:biggrin: That's where I do my night mowing. That's also where the large areas of grass are located.

Honda is a 4 Stroke Petrol and the Kubota is a Diesel.........yes Diesel is much more economical and reliable in longevity, so there is no substitute for cubic capacity..........the Diesel will .....just Lug..........not like a Honda and Stall.

I like the diesel tractor so much that I think my next vehicle (car or truck) will be a diesel. Diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline here but it's still a good deal. Plus, I like the sound of a diesel at idle.

Diesel is the way to go..........everyone is seeing the benefits of diesel.......economy and power.
