"Hi Tim. It's good to hear you've found your LS42 reliable. We've just launched the newest version of the LS42, the model LS42C1, which features the quick release rotor cartridges. There's a kit available to convert the LS42B1 to the new system, so…"
"Never ever buy a Weibang. I had a Legacy 48 pro BBC, it needed a new gearbox after a couple of months. Used it for a couple of years but far too heavy. The gearbox was on the way out again so I dumped it."
"I have the Sthil RL540 Kevin. It was a good machine, very light & pretty powerful. 5 years old I think. This machine is only used by me & does maybe a dozen lawns in the spring, a coupld autumn. Normally with a good depth. The height adjustment…"
"Hi Rob
Interesting to read about your negative experience with your new weibangs after just a year ?
When I first started I was recommended a Toro after Twenty years as an employee using bullet proof Honda's , I could not afford a Honda so bought a…"

"Yep as others have said, buy a HRX.
You will not regret it. I mulch with mine a lot of the time and as long as you don't go silly low with it you can not tell you are not collecting.
If you go second hand a good tell tale is looking at the tread…"
"I second hrx537 hy.
I also have a honda hrd roller mower from 2002 that's still reliable, built like a tank with a powerful engine. Brought from a customer that had it from new but was to heavy for him, he replaced with a hrx537."
"See, I am going to say the opposite of Peter.... I had a small gardening business, we primarilly looked after flower beds and that kind of thing, but as part of that did a fair bit of mowing.
When I started I couldnt justify a new mower (one…"
"Rob, just to give you a bit more info on these HRX,s we run. Two are 3 years old and one is 7 years old. We don't service our walk behind mowers all we do is replace blades - non gen for under £30. The two 3 year old machines have had no repairs or…"
"Thanks- I just cant justify the outlay anymore for something that keeps needing to be repaired/ after a year.I spent 1800 on the legacy and 950 on the SMP- both of which went wrong within a year- the legacy I had repaire but the SMP is basically…"
"Yes we would not buy wiebang. Best mulching mower on the market is the Honda HRX537 HY we run 3 commercially and will collect. We have tried them all!
Nice to use, light,BBC variable speed .
DO NOT BUY a used mower why would anyone sell a a…"
"Thanks Peter, this is the kind of solid advice I like to hear. I was leaning towards the Stihl just on the basis that there are that many positive reviews out there, so this helps!
"
"Kevin, we have had the Stihl for around 5 years used commercially, been faultless , easy to use and light.
The dealer we bought it from who is our main supplier and who we buy a lot of kit from is also a Toro dealer and told us to buy the Stihl…"
