Morning BB and Tyler
Buffalo is pretty hardy but no where near as tough as the other 2 mentioned. Certainly wouldn't kill the lawn mowing yesterday but the combination of the heat plus the strong hot easterlies is a good recipe for cooking the top off fresh cut lawn. Much better today and will be kinder on the mower, the mowee and the lawn.
I managed to get hold of a one owner SB twin rail 17 with original engine which runs mint, I have used it a couple of times, it's a bit tricky getting around the sloped corner bit but I can see why people are fond of them. It doesn't seem to deal with the stolons on the surface but this would be due to the lack of clearance between the blades. There is no way the VSX 160 will be getting retired so my plan is to use it every third or fourth mow. this should keep the stolons at bay and hopefully reduce the rate of thatch build up.
Cheers
