19'' or bigger mower suggestions

[Gardenmac]

As already stated, depends on what cutting your doing.

I use a Weibeng 21"and Ariens 21" as they both cut mulch and collect. The Mulch option is brill as a time saver in the autumn when I simply blow all the leaves onto the lawn mulch through the side discharge mulching down to nothing and then collect them in the bag. Quite crucial when your customers won't pay to get rid of waste and want it to fit in a single green bin.

Both mowers are also fast across the ground, they go at a fair lick. The Weibeng is also Great at picking up wet grass. Both are tough machines that take a fair beating every season.

I'm currently looking at a twin rotary Torro big mower 30"+ cut and also has a side mulch discharge. Mainly because of the size of some of the garden lawns I do.

I don't have a rear roller mower mainly because I'm happy with the cut and multi function of the side discharge, plus they do leave a stripe of sorts.

Has any one used the Honda HRX 476 VY*

I have looked at a few mowers, now decided to get a wheeled mower not a roller as originally wanted.

Also decided 19" fits my contracts best

Thanks

I used to have a hrb 475 and a hrx 476 bot roller though.

 

Older mower was the better.

 

Newer ones were said to be bad for gearbox failures etc.

 

Now have a cobra 21" pro roller

[carpenter1]

I think it's just the roller ones that have gearbox problems

[swinny]

Cobra do a 19" wheeled mower with kawasaki engine

 

I do and dont wish i went for the 19" as the 21" is a fair old lump!

 

Good luck with what you purchase, mowing season soon

The wheeled Kaaz (cobra, lawnflite etc are made by Kaaz) mowers are much easier on gearboxes than the roller versions, but even the rollers are not as bad as is made out.

 

The 21" Pro roller now has an upgraded gearbox with a faster forward speed, but it is only this model that has this upgrade.

 

IMO the Kaaz, (or badged Kaaz) are still by far the most robust machines on the market.

So yesterday I bit the bullet and bought a*Honda HRX 476 VY

I pick it up next weekend.

Hopefully it will last me well

I was unsure about the smart drive at first but quite liked it when tried it

After reading your comments previously about the Viking mowers I got a MB655 and its superb never had a mower cut so well especially in the wet.
