Most people prefer 4 stroke & so do I for mowers they last longer & have
less problems.

This feeble female inherited the former matrimonial 4 stroke and hated it
every day until I sold it - bugger of a thing to start, and no amount of
love, servicing or tender words of encouragement improved its demeanour (a
lot like the former matrimonial partner really).

I am now the owner of a 2 stroke victa, and love it to pieces. I broke my
right wrist recently and could still manage to start my mower! Before
this
experience I would have said I hated 2 strokes and everything about them,
but I'm a convert now.

Hi,

I think my 1977 Victa Charger 2 stroke has just about given up the ghost
after mowing what must be about 600 good sized suburban lawns over nearly
30
years.

I'm leaning towards replacing it with another Victa 2 stroke, but there
seem
to be a lot of 4 stroke mowers on the market these days, including Victa
models.

Anyone have a recommendation on 2 stroke vs 4 stroke and a particular
odel - I don't want self propelled or anything fancy - it's just for
mowing
my 24 perch suburban house block every few weeks.

Priorities are easy starting and minimal maintenance.

Thanks,

MK
