Hi All The Rota got a gig ! After lots of rain, a fine spell and everything has dried out so decided to mow the lawns and the fascination of the whole Rotarola design meant it had to come out for a test drive. The SB cut the perimeters and squared off a section of lawn so I could use the Rola in straight lines. The first front on shot is where the SB cut the right side before the Rola had a crack. The height adjuster seems really effective in so much as small turns of the handle results in quite big changes but I guess that's to be expected with the rear of the machine at a fixed height as Jack mentioned. The other pic's are after the mow and I must admit it was a much better result than expected considering the age of the machine with some wear and tear with blades that could do with a touch up. Clippings were shredded nice and fine and packed into the catcher well. The design obviously suits flat surfaces and probably a couch type lawn instead of the spongier Buffalo but I was impressed with it.
