Lawnmowers

[Kevtherev]

Just sort of wrecked mine [emoji23]
Efco one at moment just wondering what everyone else is using/buying?

 

[Barleycorn]

I've got a Stiga, OK for flat lawns, but shearbolts / belts soon break on rough ground.

Running 4 John Deeres at the moment but won't have another one. Had issues with head gaskets and bent crankshafts on Kawasaki engines, aluminium decks cracking, paint peeling off in sheets and the power drive is too highly geared on current models.

Edit, these are walk behind models. Don't have any experience of anything with a seat on it.

How much lawn ?

 

[40 series]

Second hand Kubota 3060 or 3560 or 3680. Out front deck. Great job

 

[Jhabc]

Al-Ko with Honda engine are excellent

 

[CORK]

A used Kubota commercial spec but good examples aren’t cheap.

 

[Tonym]

A second hand commercial out front diesel mower will out preform, last longer and be cheaper in the long run than a new domestic model.

Little Honda ride-on here for the fiddly stuff, and a bigger Countax for more difficult stuff.

Have a stiga here ok i suppose but needs to be 4x4. Mine is not and it is annoying. Neighbour had a kubuta on demo it cut long grass no problem and didn't hang about either. I will be looking at one of those soon.

The big alloy decked Honda. Forget the number. I'll have a look when I go out.
Don't thing there's a heavier duty machine on market

Most excellent mower. Get the price for a new deck if you’re worried about ally, a few years back I priced one and didn’t think it too bad.

Have you had any problems with Honda's aluminium deck? We were thinking of avoiding aluminium after cracking and holes in 2 out of 3 JD aluminium decks.

Is it possible gather the grass with one of those stiga mowers which mow in front

Ariens walk behind. Proper Yank steel and very simple variable drive.
