My Honda HR216 is worn out. To get an equivalent spec I would have to
buy Hayter
http://www.hayter.co.uk/range/harrie...utodrive-es-vs.
Unfortunately my independent servicing guy says they dont match up to
Honda.
(Belt Drive/ Briggs engine etc.)

Anyone comment on Hayter ?


I have no comment on Hayter, but Honda is probably one of the best and most
reliable.
I know you have said yours is worn out but have you considered having it
repaired? It is worth considering. Better the devil you know.

Problem is:
The blade worked lose and chopped a lump of the internal rim of the
deckIt needs
a new battery, and grass box cover, The engine is burning oil and whilst new
rings might extend the life I'm told not for long. So it might have to
be new GXV160
Add all that adds up (£500 +) so I though I might as well go for new !!

Oh yes. Worn out!
New rings and a rebore would always be better than just new rings, but in
your case with the damage, I think yes, time to move on.

Best of luck with what mower you choose.

Been an interesting thread, as usual morphing somewhere else. I was
giving consideration
the Hayter and whilst there are clearly posters here who have v.good
experiences
elsewhere on the net there are some pretty grimstories. I'm minded to
do without the stripes and go for the HRX 537 HZ. The question is what
is the right time "strike". Would January produce sales ?
