Lawnflite PRO553 HRS - Thoughts?

There are very many perfectly good 4 wheeled mowers, and a few bad ones!

 

Keep away from shed stores models and the lesser known ones off the web.

 

Go for recognised brand names and for one that your local dealer stocks, as a good backup is important even for a quality brand.

 

The strongest and most trouble free will have Ally wheels, Rubber tyres, Precision, sealed, ball or roller bearings in the wheels and a Briggs or Kawasaki engine (Honda as long as it is a GX, skip the GC, in my opinion).

Forget ones with silly multi angle handle locks, they just break.

 

The best for commercial use is, in my opinion the Kaaz (or variants) and it also has a shaft drive to the gearbox.

 

John Deere R series are also very good, as are the Stiga aluminium deck machines.

 

There are a few I would avoid but its not fair to name them on a public forum.

 

 

Thanks very much for the comprehensive answer

Where people have had gearbox issues, is that just on roller models or on 4 wheelers aswell?

 

Gonna replace our Hondas this year and like the look of Kaaz, but these lawnflights look the same, and less money:thumbup1:
