I'm interested to learn what the members' dream mowers are.

Mine would be an:

Allett C20 [20" / 510 mm] with the following cassettes:
10 blade reel with groomer
Scarifier
Verticutter
Brush
Sorrel roller

Why? The hoc range on the C-series machines would work for my current lawns and likely a future lawn where I live. The width is perfect for the size of yard and lawns that undulate slightly without bridging issues over high and low spots. The cassette system offered by both Allett and Dennis on some of their range are brilliant. Dennis don't offer a cassette with the groomer and reel combined, hence my preference for an Allett. Grass varieties that grow well in my area on Vancouver Island include creeping red fescue and KBG. The groomer would work wonders at lifting the runners prior to the reel cutting the blades of grass.

What is your dream mower?

My Baroness LM56 mower that I currently have. It came with the groomer attachment and I was able to score the brush and verticutter attachment off eBay for $400 for both of them. I was also able to get the mower NEW off eBay too with only .6 hours on the meter. It does everything I need it to do and more. I don't even really look at other greens mowers except maybe getting another Baroness for backup but it's not really needed.

You nabbed a billy bargain there Mightyquinn. You never seem to see Baroness mowers for sale and certainly not in the condition you got yours in.

You are correct on that, I got a hell of deal on that mower and they are far and few between on the used reel market.

There are a handful of Walker mowers in the upcoming Weeks auction - I don't recall which model(s) though.
@Ware Thanks. I shopped around looking at them when it came time to buy a big mower but given my small lawn size it didn't make sense for me to spend thousands more for one over a Scag WB which most would probably say is overkill in itself at 36". But hey, one can dream right?!

Ha, you were thinking the same thing as me. Most are this.

Put a mulching deck on that though and it'll be a beast!

I don't know...I'm pretty easy to please with gear, and I like push mowers. Maybe a commercial grade 21" Toro.

I'm really enjoying my eXmark WB right now, but I wouldn't mind trying out a Reel mower.
With Ware's new baby showing up anytime now, I'm sure he would not mind someone showing up to reel mow his lawn with the swordman or the Toro.

Here is the flight info. :thumbup:
