I'm looking for a good used 2-stroke hover mower to cope with a steep

Flymo models. The models that I've seen on fleabay are L38, L300 and
L470, and I'm guessing that the "L" denotes 2-stroke and that the number
denotes cutting width. Are there any other models/manufacturers I should
be considering?

The Flymo website no longer shows the Flymo hover mower I bought with a
Honda 4 stroke motor. Husqvarna appear to sell an identical product.
Strange! Apparently they will work on a 45 degree slop, not that I have
tried.

There are 4/ tools out there now that are 'dry sump' so although they
use valves (like a 4/) they get their (upper cylinder particularly)
lubrication from the fuel, like a 2/.

Whilst that may go some way towards the efficiency (less
over-scavenging), they are still burning oil?
