Can't go wrong with Honda, but you're looking at a minimum £300, that's for a compact model.

Worth every penny though, had mine for years.

I look at this from time to time, and again, Honda come up as being the preferred option, but not for £200. I stuck with electric because of cost.

Mountfields are around the 2 ton mark at B&Q

Def Honda imo although you might have to go second hand for 200 quid. Depends on your garden and grass etc. If you want new try using the Witch report to get some overviews on brands and capability.

He's after a lawnmower not a broomstick. Or would that be a Hover? I'll get m'coat.

Take a look at the AL-KO range. No personal experience but I've heard good reports at they are right on your price range.

Honda...........2nd hand, got mine for £100 3 years ago, still going strong. but wouldnt mind a newer second hand one, damn! this is going to cost me now:lol:

I have a Mountfield self propelled petrol mover, its old, but still in good working order. Left in the garage over the winter and after putting some fuel in a full pulls of the cord and it started no problem

My old man had a honda that was 10 years old.

During the last (ever) service of it he was told that it was goosed. When enquiring what was the problem he was told the engine is fine, in great nick but the rest was rusting through and was falling to bits. Needless to say he has another honda!

Should add he has just under 2 acres of grass to cut! Well used.

 

[upsidedown]

Honda all the way for me. Had one for my lawn mowing business in NZ and never missed a beat

 

[GreiginFife]

Got a Hayter which was around 200 quid if I recall. Long time ago and still going strong. Briggs &Stratton engine which I think Mountfield also use neved had a days issue.

I have a mountfield and it's been great fro 5 years so fr. I you're wanting quality cut though then to need to get the blade sharpened or it'll tear your grass instead of cutting. This is the same with every mower no matter how expensive.

I've had a Hayter Harrier for about 10 years which I chose after reading a Which report. Lawn is about 70' x 30' so I didn't go for the biggest version they do. You'll need something fairy wide or it'll take you ages. It has adjustable height, variable speed, is not too difficult to start with a pull toggle and pulls me around the park pretty reliably. I've found it easy to get serviced (unlike a previous mower I had). My lawn isn't bowling green standard but it copes with the uneven surface reasonably well.

Nice, subtle but gets the point across...

I purchased a masport maxi cut during the summer for £200 second hand.....bargain. Worth a look out and I bet now is he time to pick up bargain mowers.
