my3cents wrote: » Hard to say but I'd say something was wrong? Is the electronic clutch working correctly? When you start the engine the deck should be disengaged. Everything is going around fine just as it should under the deck. The manual version of that deck has loads more components that aren't used in the electric one. That deck design does vibrate a good bit but it looks like something might be out of balance on yours. So check under the deck for anything bent (blades) chunks out of the blades or something attached too or wrapped around the blades.

Lawnmower is fine, just caught out in the rain too many times, 7inch x 4inch hole where one of the arms connects. A deck/cutterhousing is €200 + whatever it costs to fit it. So would prefer if it was possible to repair.

peadar76 wrote: » I have a budget of approx 700 euro for a new petrol lawn mower For me the most important thing is that it is good at bagging the grass, even if a bit damp. Ideally would like a blade clutch. I was considering extending my budget to go for the Honda HRG536VYE, but read somewhere (possibly here) that the Hondas are overpriced and there is better value to be had in other models. Recommendations would be much appreciated

First cut and I had only to empty the bag 6 times, would have been at least twice that with my old mower. It really packs the grass in. Blade break is brilliant. I tried the last section with the mulcher and I couldn't believe it, at a glance there is no difference. You couldn't see the grass that was left on the lawn, except at each end when turning around. My only criticism would be that it is very heavy and takes a bit of strength to manoeuvre around obstacles when not using the self drive. That doesn't bother me, but might an older person. Also each wheel has to be adjusted separately to change the height. Again doesn't bother me.

Slightly narrower cut than some in this price point at 93cm, but given the relatively small cutting area this might be an advantage if you have tight spaces in parts. AVS engines have less vibration than normal single cylinder engines. As you only have 0.3acre to cut, ( make sure your reading from the app was in Acres, not Hectares), and some of this is not suitable for a ride on, maybe you would be better off with a large 30"/77cm walk behind mower like this Toro Timemaster, €1400.https://www.donedeal.ie/gardenequipment-for-sale/toro-timemaster-30-quot-mower-new-model/12288417 For about the same money you could have this used Honda v twin engined ride on, from the same dealer.
