Hi there,

My Lawn mower is gone... Dead and need to buy a new one.

My lawn has about 1000sqm and I was thinking on a gasoline lawn mower with eletric start. any advice? any good or bad experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Bom Dia Paulo,

I have a similar sized patch. After some flirting with a Honda Izzy
(good engine, questionable bodywork and easily bent shaft), having first
tried a Mountfield (used to be good, bought out and now assembled in
somewhere like Tunisia), I dug into my wallet and bought a Hayter
Harrier petrol driven mower with a 56cm cut width and electronic start.
Not only does it make a beautiful job of the lawn but it also gives me a
good workout as the beast is pretty solid and heavy. Apart from my old
ATCO Admiral cylinder mower, this is the best mower I have had.

I can't recommend it highly enough!
