Hi folks, first post. After some advice regarding potentional lawnmover purchase for 87 year-old father-in-law. He's very independant, and determined to continue to mow his own lawns. There's three in total,ranging from small to medium/large, none of which are flat. He currently has a pretty basic Sovereign petrol self-propelled lawmower (typical homebase variety), but it's bit on the quick side for him, and it tends to run away with him as soon as he lets the clutch out. So , what we're after is one that has a variable speed setting. Local lawnmower dealer has suggested this one - http://shop.jungle-busters.co.uk/ep.../?ObjectPath=/Shops/es122164/Products/MB545VM - it does seem to offer what we're after, although a bit on the pricey side. Any members throw me any pointers for alternatives? TIA
