I need a larger 4 wheel rotary petrol self propelled lawn mower,( not
ride on) some I see now have larger rear wheels and are driven from the
front wheels and some from the larger rear wheels ,These appear to be of
U.S.A origin and can mulch spread or bag can anyone advise as to the merits
of either wheel arrangement or tell me where I can find out Thank You E

I'm unclear by what you mean by Larger rear wheels?
You don't mean a rear roller do you?
You might want to tell us what makes you have already seen.

Personally if this is big enough for your garden I'd give this free 30 day
trial.

I had not seen this and no it would not do. I have quarter of an acre of
assorted lawn. I am atracted by a 3 in 1 mower ,bags ,mulches and side
discharge such as Alko 52 large rear wheel drive

This is I think rear wheel drive others as the Husquvarna on E bay are front
drive with large wheels at the back. There are also Mcculloch and Partner
one available the tree latter U.S derived though not always manufactured

The Honda mower I got second hand is several times better than the B+S
engined mowers I've experienced before. I'd get one again, despite the price
premium.

cheers,

Interesting machine, looks very a good price.
I think I'd go see one of these at a dealer in action before buying off the
internet, see below for a dealer list.

I like the idea of mulching mowers, (especially for large gardens) I think
Toro were one of the first to really do well. They use the B&S engines.
The best mulchers are those that chop it really fine, like the Toro.
