I wanna petrol mower

deefadog

I have searched and read throiugh the other threads on this, but they are a bit out dated. budget £150 - £200

I am after a petrol mower (self propelled) as the gardens on a bit of a slope, i have seen one on Homebase for £149 which has a griggs and stratton engine which from what i have read is a good reliable engine!

The other one is a power devil 4637 - but i have read mixed reports on these

As it's the season to pick these up and good prices, has anyone else seen good bargains or reccomend where else i should look?

Thanks in advance

Personally I am a fan of Honda mowers and am still pushing the old Honda around that my parents had in the early 80's starts virtually first time every season...and I do abuse it!!!

Think I killed it on last cut...hit a huge metal weight in the grass last month and it has now got a dreadful shudder guess the shaft is bent...ooops.

Might get a good deal on a second had one at this time of year!

Thanks, would prefer a new one though, had alook on ebay and there seems the usual rubish at the moment!

My mountfield has a Briggs and Stratton engine. I've had it over 12 years now. No problems. I have it serviced every 2-3 years.

It is not self propelled and I find it okay on slopes. Personal choice I surpose.

I am not the seller for the record, but my dad did buy his from this seller.

I was only joking - I bought one anyway as these retail for £340 + new, so hopefully this reconditioned one should do me, it's got a Honda 12 month warranty anyway - Thanks again!
