I have a lawn which takes about an hour to cut with a rotary mower and
acres of field. I was intending to buy a tractor and topper until
friend lent me a Simplicity Grand Baron 20/40, I collected the gras
off the lawn and mowed the field without collecting. The field was dam
and fairly long, I was impressed with how well it coped, it jammed
couple of times in long nettles but otherwise went flat out through th
grass.
I have since spoken to various dealers who recommend Countax with th
brush collector. They are quite pricey, but I can buy a similar Hayte
ST42H at a discount as it is dicontinued. My friend is also selling hi
year old Simplicity. I have to decide between Simplicity 20/40 an
Hayter ST42H
I understand that Honda's and Lawnflite etc are not built as well a
Simplicity and the bigger Hayter and Countax are better built still.
I have been told differing stories by various dealers, that brus
collection is better than blowing and vice versa. Also that the brus
collectors are not as monoeuverable due to their size.
Can anybody offer advice? I will collect the lawn and not the field.
liked the dispersal of the Simplicity

As nobody has replied I am thinking of the Simplicity as it will mulch
my lawn and when used on the field I can blow out all grass and it i
spread evenly, the Hayter doesnt mulch and if used in the field withou
the sweeper would leave the grass in a row. My only concern is th
Simplicity could clog on wet grass.
Any comments welcom
