Large Petrol Lawnmower

Sit on or walk behind? 

There's been similar threads before, have a bit of a search in the archives.

The concensus seems to be 1) bigger is better 2) avoid the cheapie ones, not worth it and impossible to get serviced   3) look out for 'Specials' at the Brico sheds like Leroy Merlin etc.

 

Good luck!

I've been through several mowers

(generally they break quite quickly). I have a lot of grass to cut

though there are a lot of "edges" and trees so a sit on is

not great benefit for me.

Until this year it used to take me ages

to cut the stuff. However, this year I needed a new mower (when the

previous one went in for repair) and I got a Husquavana (sic) one

(cannot remember the model but can turn it out if its useful). This

one seems to drive along at greater speed than the previous ones and

has made a dramatic reduction in how long the job takes. It is still

quite easy to use, you don't have to trot along behind it. It just

drives as a decent speed, still works and cuts decently. Just the

slight speed increase has had a big big reduction in overall time.

When I purchased it I had not even thought about how fast it drove.  Just went for a decent make (name) as the previous ones had proved weak and unreliable.
