I tried this for my small meadow maintenance but you need to file paperwork with a handful of ministries several years in advance to move a goat.

I dont know what sort of mower you like so i am not going to debate the benefits of different ones i just want to chip in that bm bargains have a flymo for £70 , £10 cheaper than argos .I bought one as my old one was on its last legs as the motor was very noisy , blades dented where kids had left stones in the grass and the cable so short due to mini ck1 cutting it when he tried to mow the lawn so i bit the bullet and for the average garden its plenty.

My country pal gets a couple of cows on loan and between time a few sheep. He does have a bigger bit of grass than average tho'.

I ditched the cable lekky mower a number of years ago. Running out a 40m extension cable was just too much hassle!

Petrol mower has been great, but servicing is expensive, so I stopped having it done, just do the basics myself. Without a regular stripdown service, it will inevitably die.

For the price of a service, I can buy a decent cordless lekky mower that will do what I need.

I got fed up with trailing cord everywhere and constantly moving it, so gave up with the electric mower. A petrol mower is a bit overkill for my 8x7M garden. So I bought a manual reel mower which makes a better cut. You have to keep on top of it though, as it won't cut through very long grass.
