You have a choice , make it now !!!

Question though....What are you mowing...Flat, hilly, bushy area with sticks and undulations or just plain old flat area grass?

JD are over priced IMHO but they do come with 3 stubby holders...lol

I got a Sanli ride on (copy rover) with the Briggs motor....Great little things, plenty of grunt but my area is full of rocks, hills and hard bush so it suited me perfectly due to the ease of seeing everything in front and side along with the auto drive and suits my giraffe legs too.

You can rub up to trees on both sides too.

That probably won't suit your area though.

Briggs and Stratton (excellent)
McCullough - not sure if they're still made, but had one on an old property and dead set couldn't kill it ... as per a previous post, it was the brand used by the local council funnily enough!!

Sorry cant agree with you Biggus on the Briggs unless they have improved a gazzillion times over the last 20 yrs. I used to work on these pos and hate them with a passion ya can't beat a Honda and that's that........IMHO hahahahaha

Ab, i got about 1.5 acres of govnt land behind my property, between us and the lake,
the local council only cuts it 2 times a year.
heaps of reptiles, frogs, and its scares us to know that theres browns in dem bushes.
Its sadly up to the indiidual owners to cut it if they so wish.
We have a storm fence and enjoy the view, so me being justso fit and so willing to cut wild thick grass
with my push mower honda, has really postponed me getting this ride on. LOL's ( sarcasm icon here)
The land is flat, just stoopid grass.

Big Rig, the funny thing is, ive seen some second hand models of these makes,
They sort of all go the same way with engines,
pre 2000 was kawasaki engines, and B&S predominantly,
then KOHLER and B&S, and some HONDA,
but nowadays.... all i see is B&S

ps. i gan cet grey imports, so the majors are all on even playing field atm.
under $3k

yeah growlers hondas are great, but at 19 and up HP..hwoarrrrrrrrrrrrr exxxy bigtime dude.

[AB]

Nah I'm with Biggus sorry Growler....I dropped my old Briggs push mower off a cliff, left it out in the rain for 5 years, drove over it with a 4 wheeler and forgot to put 2 stroke oil in it about a million times and it still went...LMAO.

Sometimes you get lucky with motors....Nothing bad to say about Honda either...They rock, but Briggs are also very good.

[LittleJohn]

I am not up to date on any of them always liked honda engines be it bike mower etc never had a problem with them.
Heres some info on yardman lol maybe they sold the name to china not sure you really have to be careful.

http://www.productreview.com.au/p/mt...autodrive.html

what scares me, is they all basically look like that yardman, im not kidding.'
you know that chinese winch threads... where they are built in same factory, just colr difference, re badging, slight remodelling etc...
Alot of these mowers are from the USA... but are they from USA via......China?? these days ( dont mind if the quality standards are same though)

[AB]

Hijack time...lol

EVERYTHING IS FROM CHINA!

Even the famous tough USA made milwaukee tools are all from China.

Even if it says made in USA a lot of the parts are from China and assembled in USA, etc.

There's China and then there's China....We can't associate China as cheap crap these days. Most if not all of the quality products we buy these days are from China or have important parts from China inside...China China China.

[LittleJohn]

you telling mee i might be buying a
CHuN DEERE ?
