Lawn mower dilemma

Aug 11, 2026 Last reply: 2 hours ago 7 Replies

I want a new lawn mower. My 35 yr old Qualcast B&S Quantum 3.5 hp machine refuses to die and I hate the thought of getting rid of a working machine but I want a modern lighter battery machine.



What do other folk do with their old mowers? Happy to donate it to anyone in need of a machine but I suspect that most folk are looking at electric these days.

Trerice (National Trust house near Newquay) used to have a lawnmower museum, but I have read that it isn't there any more. You could ask if they want to start a new collection?

I doubt if its the same model, but some of these things fetch serious money if they are still working

(I have a couple of ATCOs myself)

Freegle or Freecycle & no doubt others in your area.

I've forgotten when I last cut the grass this year :-(
