Hi All,
my petrol lawnmower has finally given up the ghost and I am looking to get a new petrol replacement.
If possible I would like one that does stripes, and is for a medium size garden.
Has anybody got a good lawnmower they can recommend.
Thanks Tracie
new lawnmower

Dear Tracie, i think a lot depends on how much you want to spend.
They seem to jump from about the £250 mark for the basic models, straight up to £650 for a more solidly built item.
I think the cheaper ones are very much the same as each other.

Given how long the ones I own have lasted, the fact that the factory is two miles away and my neighbour works for them I recommend Hayter every time.
Hayterette bought new in 1975, & on its second Briggs & Stratton engine.
Hayter Harrier bought secondhand around 1990 and still going well, leaving great stripes.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

I inherited my father's 1971 Hayterette in 1992. It is still going strong - on the original engine.

I'm a big fan of Honda mowers - they are superbly built machines.
