g'day,
some things you could consider is to check what equipment your local
government uses to mow medium strips, check what the proffession lawn
care people are using ask them questions. you could also take a walk
around your neighbourhood and see what the locals use and ask them how
they find the quality of their equipment, and last but not least if you
have an independant mower seller/repairer they usually have a good idea
of the best machinery i find it would not be in their interest to sell
something inferior as usually your return trade is valued.
