Mower advice please.....

Lawn at 4 maybe 5 tennis courts in size to get through in 3 different areas.

I have been looking at the following & wondered what your thoughts are?

The Honda Izy HRG536 SD

Key features | HRG536SD | Lawnmowers | Lawn & Garden | Honda (UK)


Or the Mountfield SP555....

Mountfield SP555 53cm Self-Propelled Aluminium Deck Lawnmower Mountfield Lawnmowers

Also, scarifier / aerator needed, unsure where to go with this one.

All comments welcome, good or bad. (no need to go easy on a newbie! )

 

the Honda costs nearly £700

with that budget, I would look at this:

Etesia Pro 51K 21" ... £595 and add another £50 for courier delivery ... add a new blade and airfilter/sparkplug/oil and it will work out to approx £700 .... you will then have one of the best commercial mowers on the market that costs nearly £2000 and that can pick up grass in the rain

at the end of every season, send it in for a service for approx £120-£150 and it will last you a lifetime

Etesia Pro 51K 21"cut contractors h/duty mower 2001, little used, excellent | eBay

if you are patient, you may find one for a bit cheaper

as for a scarifier and aerator, don't buy one .... hire them for a day ....you only need to scarify and aerate once a year

 

Ah right thanks.

I will have a look whats about.

It took me ages to decide on the other 2 options, now back to the drawing board.

However, thats why I signed up here as I knew that you guys would have far more knowledge than a simple fellow like me!!

 

Dig it up and put it down to cabbages. You know it makes sense. ! . . . . Cheers, Tony.
