PaulT Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Whilst I can mow the majority of the garden on a ride-on there are parts that can only be accessed with a hand mower. It is not ideal and will be bringing it back to use in the UK. So when we arrive in a couple of weeks time will buy the new one in France.Now some makes are familiar to me as they are sold in the UK but others such as:MTD, Alpina, B, Bestgreen etc are unknown to me.What I am looking for is a self propelled mower that will mulch and is naturally reliable and reasonably powerful up to 350 euros.Does anyone have any recommendations?

ED Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi PaulWe recently bought a mower from Mr Bricolage which we are very please with.It's a GCV160 ( http://www.mr-bricolage.fr/outillage-jardin/tondeuse-et-scarificateur/tondeuse-thermique/tondeuse-thermique-4x1-gcv-160.html?magasin=chateaubernard-cognac#tabs-caracteristiques ). It's a touch over your budget but when we bought it, it was on offer at €329.It collects, mulches and does side and rear ejection.The engine is a Honda, it has a single lever to raise and lower the deck and has rear wheel drive which pulls like a randy horse...All in all, it's a very good bit of kit.Good luckEAMONN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Don't know about the best makes in France but I was told to go for a steel deck for strength, either Briggs & Stratton or Honda engine, and something with a strong metal gearbox. I bought (in UK) an Oleo-Mac which is still performing well after nearly 10 years of quite heavy use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
