John says out of choice he would go for Mountfield. Briggs & stratton is the key. If B&Q have an offer on go for it. Dont get a self drive one, just a push along petrol. |

The old one has an aluminium deck, and it melted in the garage fire, along with most of the rest of it.  . The Mountfield has a Honda engine. |

what a perfect answer to a sensible question 
all i can add is get the strongest one that will last
recon me grans one would have gone "phuuuu that was a bit warm " and been fine in the morning
low teck is good, solid is nice ,both is best |

Went for the Mountfield. Started perfectly, and 12 yo was able to drive. So, effortless for me. Coped with the long grass. Hope it lasts. |

We've had a Mountfield with B&S engine for 12 years or so, has suffered serious abuse, been serviced once maybe? |

This system maybe of interest. I saw it at EcoBuild and was quite impressed with it. |

that seems interesting as a method
another consideration is do you need an inspection pit ? cheap if planned in and less unpleasant than flat out under a thing on the flat |
