Ok, so you might think it's odd posting this at the end of the season but if you're thinking of replacing your old machine now's a good time to start.

For a long time i'd always been a Hayter man but was converted on recommendation by my local supplier to Honda.

After more than 10 years of faithful sevice i recently bought the same HRX476QXE, roller mower with the rotostop feature (you can stop the blades but keep the engine running), it has a 19" cut and a large grass box so it makes cutting medium to large lawns a dream. More impressive than that, it rained here half an hour ago and it's still cutting and collecting like nothing happened. Admittedly i didn't get much change out of a grand but it's with every penny. Go check it out.

Thanks for the advice.

I take it that your lawn is rather large

The best mower I have ever used was an old Hayter - it was an absolute beast!

It could handle any terrain and striped beautifully.

Alas - it finally died on me a few years back

Briggs and Stratton.. like an AK 47. Not overengineered. Starts every spring and no need to drain the petrol tank for the winter.. had it for 20 years

I'm a estate gardener, small gardens don't do it for me.

I like big, rampant overgrown gardens i can really get my teeth into.

Honda engines are hard to beat. They are expensive but they are hardy and trouble free.

Easy started and just keep on going.

Yes, it was a shame i had to get rid of the old one. After more than 10 years of hard graft the engine was still good.

I Can agree with Honda being the best, I was given a really old machine mower and only lasted a year due to itbhitting a scaffold coupling hidden in long grass. I was mortified and so was the mower. I now have a briggs and stratton Masport ad it been great. So as long as you choose a machine with either a Honda or Briggs engine either one of those will outlast the mower chassis, just remember to prod in any tall growth for the unseen, including scaffold pieces or poo.
