Atco Commodore B17 Self-propelled Petrol 17″ Cylinder Lawnmower

|
Atco mowers are widely considered to be the premier lawn mower, able to produce striped lawns with ease. I genuinely enjoyed using this, but we moved a year ago and don t have a lawn anymore. It runs well I just started it for the first time in more than a year and it was running from dry within 2-3 pulls (one of the photos shows the blades blurred as they spin, to give proof of life ). You will see from one of the other photos that the roller and the cutter are powered by chains, which is much better than the cheaper rubber belts that wear out and start smoking if left at idle for too long. I comes with a grass basket, and a petrol can. The only minor issue is that the speed control lever sometimes slides back into the slow position, but its easy to hold in the fast position while you are mowing, particularly as the mower is self-propelled. If you buy this it should last you many, many years. Much longer than the electric ones you would pick up from a DIY shop or garden centre, and which need replacing every couple of seasons as they twist, bend and shake themselves apart. Collections only I m afraid because of its size, and the petrol in the tank. I m located approximately twenty minutes from Junction 12 of the M25, and ten minutes from Juntion 4 of the M3.
