Anything with a Kawasaki engine and a high lift blade..
Even with that don't you find they lack power?
Second that. Unreal power and reliability!
Honda gxv engine and adjust the revs. This can be done with other engines, but the gxv is my top pick.
I would say it's more likely the design of the mower rather than the "horsepower" that's causing it to struggle.
I run old mowers. Two servicing firms have said to me that " they don't build them like that anymore".
So do I spend £200 a year keeping them going, or spend £1200+ on a new one and then £200 a year to keep it serviced. I think I will spend my money elsewhere thanks 😁
My two main mowers are Honda HR194s, both from the '80s! I've upgraded the engines to the modern equivalent engine - the GXV160, and upgraded the handles to those found on the pro Hondas/Lawnflite etc. I service them myself annually and won't be buying new until they totally fail.
Impressive!
They're in keeping with the 1987 Land Rover pulling them around, which, unfortunately, needs slightly more servicing than the mowers!
My oldest is a SARP with honda engine I find it will quite happily eat the new 1s for breakfast it's a 5.5hp the equivalent new ones are absolutely pathetic I would quite happily pay 5k for a new machine of the same standard
