Lawnmower
I'm looking to replace my mother's petrol lawnmower which is on it's last legs. She has asked me to look into a new petrol hand pushed mower, which can do slopes, and with an adjustable cut height of up to 15cm (6 inches). This is because she wants to leave the grass long for wildflowers and primroses. She already has a strimmer, but this method doesn't collect the grass cuttings, which is also important to her. I've looked at the John Deere jx90 cb, but this only cuts up to 10cm (4inches)
Any suggestions?

You won't get a mower that cuts to 6".
If she wants the wildflowers, she needs to cut the grass short now, remove all the clippings, then let it grow without being cut through summer.
Look for a night 4 wheeled mower that's self propelled and adjusts to a very slow speed. Push mowers and bankings are terribly hard work.
You're just being a bit silly now!
medical condition has, over the years, had such an effect on my ligaments and joints that I am no longer able to do some of the things I used to do, no matter how much I want to do them ... in some instances I’ve permanently damaged myself by trying to carry on as before.
Some of us don’t have the luxury of refusing to become one of ‘those people’ and I hope other folk don’t think of me in such disparaging terms. ☹️

You're looking for something that isn't there. It's desperate.
