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 |

flat floor easier
is pile and slab better than rubble /concrete and slab on that plot to give a solid hard standing ?

Their stand wasn't manned by suits with pointy shiny shoes but by the blokes in work wear that looked like they just cam off the building site. Either clever marketing or they really believe in their system which is the impression I got.
I quickly changed my visitor status from tyre kicker to consultant for architects and got much more useful info that way. |
