As i only fix Mowers but dont use them (currently use a victa mayfair 2 stroke) i am looking to purchase a brand new mower.
I have 2 choices:
John deere JS38
OR
Honda HRU19m1
I will be using mulch and catch (mulch lawn every 2 weeks or so OR catch if its too long then mulch the rest)
Have had heard good and bad things about both
Can get the honda for $689
John deere for $450
have a budget of $700
