I have John Deere LT170 mulching mower... the only problem i have had with
it is a snapped drive belt(under light load)....cost £40 each time...not
sure id recommend one like mine...unless they swap to gear or chain drive.

I need to get a new mower, thinking of John Dere or Countax but do wonder
whether the B&Q ones that are cheaper would be just as good. Has anyone
had
any experience of the cheaper models.Rough grass (not Wimbledon standard)
Any advise welcome.
