Petrol Lawnmower

I've been helping my neighbour cut his lawn with his Honda. It happens to be number 1 on today's Telegraph's list of best mowers:

The best petrol lawnmowers
1. Honda HRG416SK IZY Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower

£418, Lawnmowers Direct
Honda HRG416SK IZY Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower

Honda is known for its reliability. The IZY range are the brand's entry-level petrol lawnmowers, but this model still has a premium feel and is hassle-free to use. It has a 41cm steel cutting deck (suitable for medium sized gardens) and six different cutting heights from 20mm-74mm which can be changed via a simple lever on the side of the machine. With a comparably low weight of 30kg and a foldable handlebar, it’s easy to manoeuvre and store, too. It is powered by a Euro-5 compliant, four-stroke GCVx engine which self-propels the mower at a steady speed of 0.92m/s and has an Auto Choke function which makes it easy to start.

The range also includes larger models with 46cm and 53cm cutting decks, and self-propelled models such as the Honda HRG416PKEH Four-Wheeled Push Rotary Lawnmower (£332, Amazon), which offers the same 41cm cutting deck and efficient mowing power at a slightly lower price.

Thanks but it seems those models don’t have a rear roller

Yes, sorry. Forgot you wanted a roller.

Not so sure about Mountfields....
I had one that lasted 24 years despite only getting serviced properly 3 times along the way. Then replaced with another that barely lasted 2 seasons of light use and seemed to have a much poorer build quality than the first. Maybe there are good models & bad ones but I'd be wary of buying on the strength of the brand alone.

I think maybe it’s more about getting a Honda engine firstly. Everywhere online that I’ve looked plus a visit to Ripon Farm Services
there seems to be a shortage of the model I want with a time of mid October. Perhaps I’ll just get the local guy to cut it for me

Thanks, took a few hours as there is more than just the pics show. I actually like cutting grass but not the rest that goes with gardening

It was actually a compliment, I can never get them straight

Thanks for the compliment

In all fairness that’s a big field but I’d still get them straighter than that…..and you have a ride on mower

My partner is a gardener, he only uses Honda’s with the heavy rear driven rollers, though I have to cut our lawn and they are quite heavy to shove around.

As PVR, says good job with the lines
