    Heavy dew is always difficult as the the wet is different to rain, stays on the leaf.
    Best roller by far is Pro weibang I think 19” would suit your size of lawns. Must have the high lift blade, great finish as it has a fan type unit in the deck, superb in the damp and pretty good in the wet, better than Stihl, Honda and much better than Masport. Heavy machine though.

    I quite like the Honda HRD536, but I don’t use the roller version. It does for sure block up a fair bit on damp grass though. I think the chute is just too small. I used to use one of the Kaaz Honda Pro knock offs and that was great. Never had any issues. I’d definitely go back to one of those, or maybe try a Lawnflite, which look very similar.

    • @Grasscutplus

      Hi mate thanks for the comment! I think it’s the massive hump at the back leading into the grass box just a silly design tbh. The grass just can’t get over it! And clumps! I will be looking into these thanks mate!

    I ran over a scaffolding connection in very long grass. Fortunately no damage except for the loud clunck and bang which I thought had buggered my mower. I explained to the homeowner about it and she said "oh ok". I've learnt to strim first in very long grass. Tent pegs are another one. Especially when the grandkids pop over and play football with goal. Drives me mad how people don't care about a £1k mower.

    I moved from the same Honda hrd 535 to the Stihl rm655rs for the very same reason, it's wet weather supremacy, as the last quarter of last season and this one up until the last couple of weeks were non stop wet, I don't know what I'd have done without the Stihl, as like a lot of yours, I need to put down stripes too, the Honda is lovely and robust but their deck/bag design just makes it useless in the wet, my Honda is the older version of yours with just one speed, but I'd say the Stihl moves along faster, but it's brilliant in the wet, it's literally never blocked up once, I still have the Honda but it's more of a back up mower now. I've also just got the smaller rear roller Stihl rm545vr too for the smaller gardens, that's unreal in the wet too, and quite nice to use as it's much lighter, it's also variable speed too and it's really quite quick walking pace at full speed too.

      @@Grasscutplus I think the main problem with the Honda deck is they leave the area where the engine attaches on open, where on the Stihl it has like a plastic shroud over it, I could be wrong but I reckon that helps with the airflow a lot into pushing the grass to the box.

    You won’t regret buying a COBRA RM53SPH there are dam good, they have a large fan under the deck above the blade which pushes the grass into the box. They do a couple different models in that range, but I think that’s the one I use at work. It’s on the slower side but it helps with boxing the grass as well.
