Which petrol lawn mower ?

[addgason]

Hi guys

Think I need to buy a new lawn mower,my garden is approx
150m2 and is a bit bumpy,had a look in b n q ,Costco, eBay
Will pay about 170ish ,but don't ave a clue which one to buy.

Would appreciate any recommendations,it's only for domestic
Use for myself

Maybe self propelled,lightweight,easy maintenance TIA

For that sort of money you'll only get a pile of poo if its new, you have a chance on a second hand one off ebay but you're better waiting until the end of the season... Expect you'll end up with 47cm self propelled mountfield. They are a bit badly made nowadays but a decent mower like a Honda is going to set you back over twice your budget. Really get what you pay for I'm afraid

Honda all the way, say your pennies!

As an alternative to Honda, if you are lucky enough to have an outlet that actually fix on the premises, I'd chance a new Briggs and Stratton engine lawnmower. The actual make of the mower is of little interest. B&Q and the like will not fix even under warranty.

You might get 7-8 years out of it?

I don't think you'd go far wrong with this one:

Alternatively, check eBay as suggested. Not sure where you are in liverpool, but there's always loads for sale in north Wales (where the gardens are bigger) ... all within easy driving distance to view and collect. Just search on eBay within a 50 mile radius

Honda Izy every time.... if your new mower with a B&S engine hails from the Orient, getting chassis parts will be a problem.

John, chassis parts for a domestic lawnmower ...........

Mursal, don't you know that John is the main mower man on this site!

Even parts like belts and cables can be a problem with some machines, but Honda supply stuff for machines of 15 years of age.....even an Izy push deck is around £60, but at least you can get one!

OK, granted it is nice to be able to fix rather than dump, but the Japanese stuff is very expensive, for what is really, recreation.

But, why do you all call them Izy's?

Dunno mate - you'll have to ask your Uncle Soichiro about that one
