Hi,
I have been looking for a 2nd hand lawnmower (size of lawn does not justify new). I have found a self drive mower(not a ride on!). However the mower cannot turn right i.e. the back wheels (i.e. the driven wheels) are such that the left hand wheel can not rotate forward without the right wheel rotating forward at at least the same speed. The right wheel can turn faster that the left wheel allowing easy turning left, but not vice versa. Thus to turn right I would be dragging the wheels (or do a 270 degree turn left ) Sounds wrong but as it is 2nd hand maybe the older mowers drive mechanisms where crap?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
