No shame in asking about mowers again its useful to learn when you have to start looking again .
opposite for me i rarely cut lawns but being offered a project which includes lawn cutting as a seperate task at a decent rate but they dont want stripes , problem is my best mower an old viking is more than capable of doing the job but will leave stripes .
Next mower is my old Toro recycler which has never let me down and doesn't leave stripes but leaves a poor finish .
Naturally tempted to go with a Honda izzy and feel the price will be justified on just this one lawn alone , reliability ,suitable for small to medium lawns , some stripe , good finish and peace of mind , reasonable secondhand value if needs be with a Honda .
I bought the 21 inch pro Honda roller mower £1400 at time literally yesterday said I've had it 3 years. Upon checking the plate it's 2016 model so 5 years old. Changed oil snd air filter and spark plug. It's never had any visit to the dealer. I've got 5 other pro Honda mowers oldest 18 years old. I'm selling them and getting either a Honda 21 wheeled mower or the new 3 speed Stihl wheeled mower with a Kawasaki engine I've taken to. Getting the machine on a weeks demo soon. As always stated on here buy something the dealer can support you with. I've bed. Offered a commercial toro at a fair price but no dealer near stocks toro so parts maybe an issue. The 19 inch Honda you are looking at is a great mower but I always go 21 as access no issues on my lawns
average 36 weeks mow season 5 days a week over 5 years Is around 900 mowing days.
At £1 a day that's most your money back in 5 years mowing So it will earn its money. It will reduce your tax bill too
Thanks, Luke - I reall appreciate your comments. Looks like I need to visit the Honda dealer.
