This is the follow up story to “Let Down by Mountfield Petrol Mowers“ on 19th August.
I had decided that my Lawnmower fund was not going to be spent at B&Q after all the trouble we’d had; but I was in there after sitting in traffic for ages and then not finding what it was that I’d come for. I didn’t want a completely wasted journey so I kind of impulsively came home with the Toro. It was either that, or buy flowers for being so impossibly late home.
It’s the self propelled 48cm Recycler Lawn Mower with the Briggs & Stratton petrol engine. It has a lever which switches the option from grass box collection to mulching. I must admit that I much prefer to mulch rather than keep messing around with grass boxes.
The engine is good and doesn’t miss a beat. It doesn’t struggle and it doesn’t stall every 5 minutes. It is well built. No bits have fallen of it yet! It’s now the end of the grass cutting season but I think I’ll be sticking with this one.
