Looks expensive to me but that said, Honda is the best engine to have in any mower and should never give any trouble.

Like i say, i have no idea about them Hydrostatic (automatic) transmission, grass box, 5 year guarantee, Honda engine, €1500. What's not to like. Great for your garden & it'll beat the hell out of a walk behind mower so I'd bite their hand off. Think how much more wine time you'll have with one of these.

€1500?
get yourself a walk behind mower for half the price and double your life expectancy! Wine time?  |

Just to add to the conflicting advice. 600m2? 30 x20m is a bit small for a ride on mower. You would be finished mowing before the engine was really warmed up. Ask the local farmer to dump cow poo on half of it and cultivate crops that are ready for harvest when you come over from the island for holidays. Blueberry, apple, cherry, redcurrants. Keep the walk behind mower and stay out of the TV couch.

I see a lot of fat gentleman farmers riding around their front lawns on expensive sit on mowers , that makes me laugh |

Buy from a local dealer , good for servicing afterwards, also there are good second hand sit-ons/walk behinds to be had.

Shame. Probably the same Bar....ds who offered me a branch chipper at half price. Ne'r mind. Keep looking. A ride on's got to be one of the best big boy's toys.
