8. Mower types - rotary
These cut the grass with a scything action as one or more blades spin at high speed, parallel to the ground. There are many types of rotary mower - some hover, some are wheeled and some also have a rear roller to leave a stripe and make it easier to mow right up to the lawn's edge.
Most rotary mowers with wheels (or wheels plus roller) collect the grass, but not all hovers do (look at Flymo's range for grass-collecting hovers). Plastic blades are an alternative to metal ones on some Allen, Black & Decker, Flymo and Qualcast machines.
