That’s interesting as bought a brand new mid range Honda mountfield mower a few years ago with very similar motor and was useless and completely lacked power .(and nothing like the older Honda  hrx 537 mowers) have found husqvarna ones to be better value for money and seem to last well

real test will be in damp grass .
