Have spent 3 hours tonight scalping the lawn with the Victa. Poor mower. Can you kill a 2 stroke?

In the end I brought a Masport President 6000 Self Propelled. Very happy with the performance. Paid a little more over budget for the self propelled, but it does make mowing easier.

Nice. I have the non self propelled model. Preferred exercise and one less thing to go wrong. Its a nice mower, catches great, although I mulch every mow unless I need clippings.

Did my first ever mulch mow, I'm impressed.

The idea is that the mulch is chopped down a lot so it decomposes quickly. Internet tells me it takes 4 weeks. If you mow and mulch weekly, the lawn will be self feeding after one month.

You cannot mulch if the new growth is too much. Otherwise you can see a strip of excess cuttings but its no biggie if you got behind a little it soon dries off and becomes invisible.
