GARDEN EQUIPMENT: Why should I opt for a rear roller mower rather than a four wheeled version?
You asked: Why should I opt for a rear roller mower rather than a four wheeled version? We answered: If you like a classical, formal striped effect to your lawn, you should choose a mower with a rear roller. As the mower cuts the grass, the roller travels over it and flattens the grass in one direction, which gives the classic stripy effect. The roller also gives you the ability to cut over the edge of the lawn. The four wheeled mower will give you a more relaxed, family style lawn without the stripy effect.
