“Rear roller models certainly produce a good finish, and we may well be looking at adding this type of mower next year”


“For pure value for money, the Active S/P performed more than adequately and is well worth considering”


“Build quality is important for the longevity and safety of the machines, and it does seem to follow that you get what you pay for”


“Hand mowing tends to be a job that is shared between staff, so operation and controls need to be simple enough to be anyone’s job”
