Cheapy, cheapy cheap, cheap. HEAT for the price.

Cheap for a self propelled, but 98cc is quite small considering the engine needs to power the blade and the wheels. That said, it looks like a rebranded Mountfield SP164, which isn't a bad mower.

I had the push version of this about 8-10 years ago. The engine looks the same and it was ok. Some parts of the plastic deck broke off but it still worked fine.It served me well for 6-8 years before the engine packed in.

Still using the one I bought ages ago (the push version). It was super cheap, thanks to a deal here, and the only problem I've had was the pull cord snapping, but that was an easy fix.

How did you fix it? I had problems trying to fix it.

Make sure it's not one wheel drive and you have to continue to wrestle with it to keep it in a straight line.

very good deal but too narrow a cut for me, takes me long enough as it is without the extra 3 or 4 times i would have to go around with this 40cm baby but a great deal for those with a small lawn.

98cc is really under powered and stall in long grass.

Got one for £85 few years ago but the pull cord snapped. I took it apart and the Dam coil spring came out. Stuck in shed doing nothing now:-(

Just ordered, heat added... Been looking for a good value self-propelled one and this'll do the job because our lawns are not that big tbh, but the old man struggles when it's a bit long so this'll help him loads :smiley:

Gosh, sorry can't remember - I know it was easy! I think it was probably the last bit of cord that went, so I just repositioned the handle, having taken it out the thing on the handle it was meant to go through. So shorter cord, but the pull handle closer to the engine. Sorry I can't be more help. it was a few years ago!
thanks i ordered one when this got posted, i was just about to go and buy one from wilkos for £150

I have ordered it but it hasn't arrived yet. These mowers have a lot of names.
Only the sticker in the engine has changed
