Husky lawn mowers

[Charlieh]

Just wondered if anyone had used the husky walk behind mowers at all? been looking at a R53SV, and just wondered what the quality was like on them, Im going to swap my cylinder mowers in as they do a great job but are heavy to use and only good for very level ground, so if anyone is interested in doing a deal on a Ransome Marquis or a couple of antelopes with a load of parts drop us a PM

See if you can get a demo as with any mower they can look good but block up with damp grass or be too slow.

I saw some well used ex LA ones at a sale recently. There were Victa’s of the same age with the usual wobbly front wheel condition but the huskies were still tight and tidy by comparison.

Get a honda....Mine is ancient, and still going very very well. It has to- i cant justify over a grand on a new one lol.

i have recently got a hayter 21inch heavy duty- its the business, except costs over £900. it does 4mph and has a 6.5(?)hp kawasaki engine.only drawback it won't cut really low.

that does not answer your question, i know!

I have a husky mower at the moment, couldnt tell you a lot about it except it cuts grass, is self propelled, and seems reliable? What more is there to a mower?

I use a Danarm Kaaz 21" professional, really strong great machine and are the same price as the husqvarna mowers.

I had an R53s, it was ok. Its an amateur machine though, wont last long if you work it hard. How much are they now?

I have a 21" Honda Shanks. I would Highly Recommend it. It is a Proffesional contractors mower, it has a fan built in to assist with blowing wet grass over the rear roller. Which is great in this country I got it three seasons ago and its still gowing strong. It was £800 inc Vat at the time.
