It's been he same every year for about the last 5 years; i try to rouse my Mountfield Empress from her winter slumber and she just ignores me, It's only after i have taken her to my local mower clinic where i am relieved of, at least £55, that she begins to show some interest in cutting grass. Has anyone out there been able to deal with a similarly reluctant Empress and who could advise me as to how to encourage her into starting when i want her to start and keep her that way rather than the annual trip to the clinic?
