Cobra Lawnmower?

Posted by Freshscaped on March 15, 2015 at 7:54pm in Machinery

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a lightweight lawnmower for a couple of regular jobs, each small, one tiny. I don't expect to get many more this small and lugging a 21" up steps on one, very narrow access on the other, I thought something cheap might do instead.

The ideal would be a used Etesia Pro 46 PHE so if anybody has better luck in spotting one than I've had so far please point me at it.

The 16" Isy at around three hundred quid looks good, no guarantee for pro use but that's OK.

But I understand Cobra have been trying to make a mark here. Whilst that is no quality guarantee at all, at 25Kg and about £160-£210 depending on specific variation their 16" offering looks very tempting. No pro guarantee there either but minimal use. Has anybody tried Cobra products in their business? Do you have a good (or bad) word for them? Or alternative recommendations?.

Comments welcome. Thanks for reading.

      Pro 46 should weigh in @ 31-39Kg

      Variable speed option will push it to nr 39kg

        Not according to the spec on the Etesia site But I'll be happy to be corrected. Maybe I only saw latest models, or highest spec?

          Check again, I suggest. I know the weights ;)

          measurement and weight
          Height (cm) 96.00
          Width (cm) 51.00
          Length (cm) 140.00
          weight (kg) 31.00

            When first checking I found this: PRO 46 Evolution

            But upon your prompting I found this: Pro 46 PHE

            So I'll edit the OP again to see if anybody can come up with a used Pro 46 PHE ;-)

              Yet to see the Evo / Duocut 46 model in the field....

              All comments on LJN I suspect will refer to the Mk1 or Mk2 Pro 46 range (the main difference being in the handle design)....

              That's the version in use in their thousands in the hands of skilled operators in the LA and private businesses..:) So it must be good ;)

              Good choice for single crewed team

              Search out "Harry The Cat" on here/eBay
