Here's one for the petrolheads here. Knowing you lot you will be able to answer it! Got rid of the old mower with 20 years loyal service behind it with a Briggs and Stratton engine on it which is still running perfectly ( it's the rest of the machine that's knackered). Went down to B&Q and found that Mountfield only fit Briggs and also Honda engined to their more expensive models with the lower priced ones coming with an engine badged "Mountfield" so probably a cheap Chinese engine. You think it would give reliable service or should I pay a bit more for a Briggs and Stratton or Honda powered Machine. If the latter which engine is the best? I am inclined towards Briggs for parts availability. A qualcast Suffolk Punch ( with Kawasaki engine) would be nice but beyond my budget! Just as an aside one does not see Tecumseh engines anymore. Does anyone actually know what
I'm talking about :)
