I have now got my very large garden, its mainly down to grass, not a
lawn, more of managed meadow, previous owner had a 'ride on'
Recommendations please, (and do any of them collect the grass
clippings?)

Yes to the latter.Then you need to think of what to do with the
cuttings.

I strongly recommend you ask the specialist dealers in your area for
their advice. What machine to choose depends on factors such as the
area and slope of the land, how wet or dry it is during the cutting
season, how often you want to mow, to what standard, and how you (and
your family) will use the mown areas. You might contact the previous
owner about the machine he used, and ask what advantages and
disadvantages it had for your patch.

IME a good dealer will offer to demonstrate the machine he recommends,
on your land (no obligation). Another consideration, is does the
supplier provide servicing, will he collect it for servicing, and/or
supply you with spare parts.
