Mountfield v Honda lawnmowers
Off to my local B+Q to buy a petrol lawnmover. Want one that will add
strips. Two options a Honda for £299 or the Mountfield for £349. This has a roller, the Honda a "stripping rubber strip". The Honda has a smaller cutting width. Which one would people recommend ? i could not recommend a mountfield, as i have yet to come across one with a metal deck. the honda (i presume) would have a metal deck; if not, then avoid. the plastic decks as used by mountfield seem to have the habit of distorting, splitting etc. my advice would be: buy a hayter ;-) i've been up though the field, from £200 'bargain' rigs to my present hayter harrier 48, which cost the thick end of £700. only thing i can say is - i wish i'd spent that £700 a long time back, and saved all the grief in between. i also use a honda ride-on, a relatively old 2213: honda seem to make quality gear. although i realise it's all subjective.

I have used a Honda Izy for the last 3 years - no problems, always starts first time. It has a powder coated steel deck which seems somewhat tougher than painted steel. -- Robert |
