Petrol Lawnmower
by alsavs on Fri May 25, 2012 10:22 am
Not sure if this is posted in the right place. I'm finally thinking about getting a petrol mower push or self drive and i was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on which make to go for. My budget is a bit tight at the moment. Any advice will be greatly received
Alan.

Briggs engine, SELF drive, massive grass collection box (or mulcher attachment) and a cup/bottle holder to place that cool beer in while yer out there mowing the estate..
Thinking about it, cup/bottle holder not needed as you can hold the cool beer bottle while the estate is being mowed. You just need to make sure the wife can reach the controls and steer it well enough to keep the beast out of the flower beds as she will be using it the most while your supervising and making sure that all the beer bottles are cool....

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Im impressed!!!! You all rate the Briggs and Straton engine's. I have got to agree there one of the best little engine's on the market. Any mower fitted with one of these will be ok. Plenty of spares available for them aswell.
