Hi Ben, you got that right re QLD blue couch. I have the same grass and it simply loves the cylinder mower- I have a Scotty 17 inch also. Like Deejay says its a match made in heaven. I posted pics of my mower and my front lawn back in late Jan in the "off topics" forum under the subject -lawn pics. I think it looked ok (I often get the comments as well). Take a look. Can you post some pics of your lawn? Obviously growing has slowed down now and what concerns me a little at the moment is that the lawn is developing some small brown patches about cricket ball size which eventually grows back. I get the patches every year although not this early and not to the extent. Perhaps its some sort of fungus. When I get a chance I will look into it.
Cheers- Ross
