We're thinking of buying one of those. I know sophiap has one and loves it. We have almost an acre of lawn, but we've let about a third of it go wild for rabbit and bird habitat. We also have a lawn tractor that seems to be at the age where it requires a stream of money to keep running, as everything on it has reached its projected lifespan. And the push mower is balky, loud, fumey, and generally unpleasant. So we're thinking with a rotary mower, if we keep the blades sharp, we can each do an hour or half-hour per day every day it isn't raining, get the whole yard done in rotation every week, and get a bit of healthy exercise, too. I love the quietness, and the efficiency of sharp blades, and the smell of cut grass rather than petroleum fumes.
