Are there trees or bushes that would make it hard to manage the cord?


Yes. Both. But not too many. Mostly it's tall grass. It seems a weakness of
the hover mowers is tall grass and uneven surfaces. I have both.

I guess if I kept it mowed nicely, both would subside ... but that means I
still need to mow it all at least once with a mower than can handle tall
grass (or a weed whacker).

Since the hover mower reputedly has a very small swath (much smaller than
the area of the deck),


Maybe the deck is so big to keep one from getting his toes cut off.

I knew a professional gardener who keep a jar of toes in pickle juice
in his office.

it might not be much better than a weed whacker. I'm
still looking things up though ...


Just kidding.
