How does it handle wet, heavy grass?

Not well at all. When I tried that, the blade would struggle to spin, and the battery did not last very long.

I had to push slower and in some spots go over again as it did not mulch well. however the ground was soaked

I have my Black & Decker for about 3 years now and I can tell you that it was not designed for wet grass, even the manual will tell you that, on dry grass it does wonders, as far as heavy grass I have mine set up on setting #5 which is the highest, however, my lawn is tall fescue and it cannot be cut too short, and if it gets too heavy most likely you may have to do a double pass or you'll get many pop ups, I mow my lawn once a week and if I keep it to a certain height I don't have any problems the following week.

The only problem I've had with wet, heavy grass is the feed from the cutting area to the hopper. It has plenty of power to cut through anything I've driven over. There is a short "tunnel" between the cutting area and hopper that is about 4 inches square. When the grass is thick and wet this area clogs up and the mower starts acting like it's full even when it's not. Every few minutes I need to stop, remove the hopper, clear the "tunnel", replace the hopper, and resume. It only takes a couple of seconds and doesn't bother me. I usually try to mow when the grass is dry so I don't face this situation more than a few times a year. This is the only power mower I've ever had so I can't compare it to others.

Not bad! It bogs down a little, but you just slow down a little bit. It doesn't cut out like some previous one's we have had.

Not really sure about thick tall grass...this is best used on a sidewalk or drive way. Hope this helps

Not exactly sure how it does on wet grass because it's pretty warm all the time here in Southern California especially out here near Palm Springs but I would say it probably will dojust fine on wet grass...But keep in mind that I've only had mines for maybe 5 weeks or so....Hope this helps

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

I have used it half a dozen times. Mostly in an above ground garden that is soft dirt. I did use it to clear our about 200 square feet of grass to lay mulch. It did it like a champ. It does clog up around the tines quickly if there is a lot of root being tilled. I love it for the purpose it serves me.

I'm sure it would push nice on smooth, even, not too thick grass. The unstable handle and difficult turning would still be an issue though.

I am not in Florida so would not know, but would not think it would go through such thick grass. Ask the manufacturer, they will have that answer.I am very happy with results I have got in Tall Fescue grass that we have in California. Works a treat.

We have used ours when we roller blade and it does just fine. As long as your on pavement you can go pretty good with it. As For grass...it will go as long as it is not tall..rocks...not so much.

I've had this mower for a few years and actually like it. However, it will leave a clung of grass if the basket behind is not attached correctly. It also has to be emptied more frequently than many other mowers. If attached correctly, it should keep this from happening. Because it has to be emptied out so frequently, it is not good for really large lawns. What I like is the lighter weight and the start up function with the key. It has been a reliable mower for what I use it for.

I have used this tiller in my garden, and it gets pretty packed down by the end of the summer, with picking vegetables and other reasons for walking down the rows. This tiller will work in hard packed ground. But, it will work you pretty hard, too. It is light and bounces around, the tines spinning very fast. You have to go forward, bouncing, and drag it back down the row; dragging it back it does more of the tilling. And repeat several times. I use a gas powered rear tine tiller to do most of my tilling. I got this one for in between rows of vegetables. It does the job slowly and works you very hard too. I almost think it is easier to use a hoe.

It tends to pull grass up. It's not very gentle for lawns. It is great in a garden or working with mulch though. I love this take, but not on my lawn.

I have never used on grass, but I think it depends on the weight you put it

Grass is okay as long as it is relatively flat. We have taken it on the infield of a damp tball field. It was fine there. I don't think it would do well in significant mud.

The one I bought installed with no problems. That was a few years ago. It works well when the grass is dry.

I avoid using it on wet grass, doesn't work well and I am already dealing with lumps and bumps. I have been very pleased with the Fiskars. Does what it says it will and I actually enjoy using it.

It rolls easily over pavement, but it is quite heavy and may be difficult to move over grass or rough terrain.

To be fair, I haven't used it on grass, but in general, this thing is a very poor cane. It's an okay seat. It's also heavy.
