I have recently learned that my long terraces (banks)
which are around 40
feet long and take usually 4 to 5 passes are probably
ruining my lawn
mowers. Use of a 2 cycle engine machine has been
recommended. Is there
any
such mower available anymore? I would appreciate any
comments and
suggestions. Thank you.

I don't see as how a 2 cycle engine is going to help much.
2 cycle engines
are simpler and have less moving parts, but I don't know
if they really last
longer. If you are wearing out lawn mower engines, look
for ones with steel
or chrome cylinder liners. That seems to make the biggest
difference on
wearability.



A two stroke cycle will work at severe angled terrain better
than a four stroke with a crankcase.
