Hi everyone, 

New on here and just after replacing my plastic-body mower for a steel/metal body one. I've had the Husky LC253S and have been really happy with it apart from the fragile composite body! I've done a couple of fixes with aluminium sheet and rivets but I work in some quite stoney/gravelly gardens and despite my best efforts I inevitably end up going over small ones which have found their way into the lawn, and which crack the body of the mower. 

Anyway, as I said I'm looking at the LC151S as an alternative and just wondering if anyone has any experience with it or positive/negative feedback. It does have a Husqvarna engine rather than the Briggs Stratton on my current mower so if anybody has any comments about that it'd be great. 

Also if anybody has any suggestions for alternative mowers feel free to throw them my way. The reason I like the look of the Husky is - has a pretty wide 51cm mowing width, fits into my £400-ish budget and also fairly lightweight at approx 33kg. I do a bit of mowing on slopes and non-flat gardens too so I'm after something that's not too heavy. 

Anyway, any thoughts would be much appreciated! 

 

Cheers,

Matt

  • Can't get close to the £400, we've run several Honda hrx 576 commercially they have multiple operators and are generally abused on commercial sites where stones are prevalent, this week a steel scaffold bracket went into one, stalled it but although ii has a poycarbonate deck totally unscathed!
