So a year ago, we moved from our unit into a house with an average sized front and back yard. For mowing the lawn I was given an electric Flymo, which did the job OK, but was ultimately pretty rubbish. I've finally been able to upgrade to a proper petrol powered mower. In my 37 years it's the first one I've ever bought and the first one I've ever used (don't laugh!). So this is all a learning curve.
I ended up getting a 2nd hand Honda Buffalo HRU197 (Lower end of the commercial series). It's hardly been used and is in great condition.
One thing I have noticed though is that the 4 cutting blades have play in them and I can move them quite freely with my hand. This is probably an obvious question, but is this how it should be? I'm thinking it's meant to be like this so if the blades hit something hard they swing back and don't get damaged so easily. The bolts seem pretty tight.
I just want to make sure before I get into it and have a blade fly off and cut me down at the ankles!
