Honda or Deree lawnmower?

[Welshbeef]

In a general gassing about engines which is the better for the garden chores?

I see Honda offer a 7 year warranty which given they are pricy but gives high confidence that its a machine you can buy and it last 25 years easily, and if you look after it a lifetime.

Deree though is it a weaker link or a genuine competitor?

Honda.

Working in the construction industry, every single small plant item with a 4-stroke petrol engine is a Honda. No matter what abuse, how little care or attention or servicing they receive, they ALWAYS start and run all day every day.

When I have ever known them to break, is become an ape has yanked on the pull start cord too hard and broken the mechanism. New pull cord and it fires up.

No no no, you need torque for thick grass, and VTEC's don't have any torque.

If it must be petrol then Honda and briggs and scrap-em are crap

This is what we have, works great except for when you run over big rocks and break blades.

Do you mean Deere? Why didn't I think to call the Deree? 99% certain that Deere will buy there mowers from a 3rd party.
