Honda HF2216 Hydrostatic 2003

Advantages: Simple to operate
Disadvantages: a little loud when mowing around 95dba

We have had a 2 2 1 6 for 4 years and it has completed 7 5 0 hours without a breakdown. i would strongly recomend a 2216 over the newer 2 4 1 7. along side from mowing our 2 2 1 6 has been used for a variety of other tasks including pulling a trailer, rolling, dragging and towing a 8 0 0 kg wood chipper. It had a little trouble doing this uphill but was pk down hill and on the flat. we have had other mowers on demo since the purchase of our 2216 ...
...what we wanted. we bought our mower in 2003 for the sum of £2600 and a recent part exchange quota gave us a trade in price of £750 which means you could pick one up privatley for around a grand. all in all a very good investment and would reccomend it as a sound buy to anyone. Cheers Jack ...

Honda HRG 415 CPD lawnmower

Advantages: Reliable, Durable
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

The same line of mower I used everyday working for a busy landscaping buisness. The reliability of these machines is unquestionable, if you look after them properly they will not let you down. They are good for uneven and high quality lawns and easy to operate. Spares parts are readily available and you should get a good long warranty. Ergonomic with a simple large grass box. Good fuel consumption if looked after. Yes they are quite expensive, and ...

Flymo Quicksilver 46SDR petrol lawnmower

Advantages: Very reliable motor, metal rear roller, 50 litre grass box, hosepipe attachment cleaner.
Disadvantages: Height adjustment lever, heavy weight, tendency to scuff moist lawns because of weight

...lawnmower, which was an electric Flymo 380 hover mower. As I tended to other people's lawns I chose to go for a petrol mower because of the flexibility it provided rather than having to either use their electricity or to take my heavy transformer with me. I decided to stick with Flymo because of their reputation and availability of spare parts. I needed one that was self-propelled, with a rotor blade and came with a rear roller. The one that met ...
...a very reliable 4 stroke Briggs & Stratton engine, which up to this day started first time , every time and unusually a metal rear roller (ideal for producing definite lines in the lawn as opposed to the plastic roller types). I purchased it on 5/5/2008 through a registered garden supplier on an internet auction site, who put it all together for me prior to collection. This came in very handy because the instruction book that came with it was not ...

Panther 30 is a very basic mower that does the job wonderfully.

Advantages: Low Cost, Easy To assemble, no more effort than the electric equivalent.
Disadvantages: some of the smaller, finer clippings miss the collecting box.

I purchased this mower at the begining of summer as I only have small lawns. It was easy to assemble thanks to the clear instructions and I was ready to cut my lawns in about 20 minuts, shame it was raining. The following day, I tried the Panther and found to my surprise that it is no more hard work than the electric mower, and I had cut my back lawn in less time than it would have taken me to mess about finding the extension lead, hanging it through ...
...the grass clipping end up in the box, but the clippings are so fine its not an issue. It is extremely easy to adjust the height of the cut, and the roller at the back of the mower gives the lawn a nice striped effect making it look as though I have put in far more effort than I actually have. Nothing has broken or fallen off during this years growing season and I am more that confident it will be cutting my lawns for a fair few years. Maybe simplicity ...

Mowing The Lawn Just Became Enjoyable With The Bosch Rotak 34

Advantages: Easy to use. Cuts brilliantly.
Disadvantages: Like most electric mowers - the cable, but there's not really a way around that!

...have a crack at the Bosch Rotak 34 - a bold decision, especially after the comfort and relative ease of the Flymo's series for my entire home-owning life and I wasn't a big fan of my dads or anyone else’s seemingly big and clunky 'mowers on wheels'. But what a decision I ultimately made. Mowing the lawn as it says in this title has now become an enjoyable experience - seriously, I actually look forward to doing it! Sad you think? Probably so, but ...
...the Rotak series. Each model appears to go up increments of around £30, so you can actually spend another hundred or so on the top models, but if you don’t have a lot to spend and want a decent mower – then buy the 34. Seriously, it’s top notch. It has six different cutting lengths (which can be easily adjusted) so cuts extremely short and has a huge collection bucket which sits firmly on the rear of the mower. It also compacts the grass tightly ...
