    Have a dealer near me & was thinking of investing for next year - looking at the R152SV (here).
    Any thoughts...I'm a bit wary of its heavy steel deck (hard to manoevure) & plastic wheels!
    If anyone's got one I'd be grateful for the feedback before plunging,

    Cheers as always

    :)

    Excellent and very reliable machines. Tough workhorses and very affordable. Hus petrol mowers are also sold sometimes under the Flymo.

    I bought the LC48V earlier this year and the only fault i can find with it is that the chute between the collection basket and the deck can get blocked easily if the grass is in anyway damp.. other than that there has been no issues..

    Many thanks for that advice.

    i sold my castle garden as wasnt happy with it. lacked power even though tuned to the last. i had the auto drive and when under pressure wouldnt move lawnmower even when pressed back full. got castlegarden this year and am much happier with it. lots more power. i got a 3 speed one.

    Jonsered are the "cheaper" version of the Huskys, so you could get most of the Husky but with a different brand and badge! :)

    I got one today!!!

    Have you considered buying a Snapper lawnmower? We sell alot of them to the south in our shop with absolutely no complaints at all (Snapper SE Line ESPV21675). They are 21" and have a briggs and stratton auto choke engine and hydrostatic drive. Definately a better machine than the Husqvarna anyway.
