English-style mower?

[Jon Maurer]

Can anybody point me in the direction of a store (pref in New England)
or web site where I could get an English-style lawn mower - I.e. one
with a heavy roller on the back instead of wheels? Push or powered is OK

Thanks,

Jon

English style ? Geez - as a kid, some 60 years ago, I remember using an
uncle's Montogomery Ward rider that had 2 small wheels in front and a large
14 - 18" roller in the rear to drive it. Did the "English" have it before
then ?

Rollers are no longer recommended, unless you're maintaining a croquet
court or some such. Too much soil compaction.
