"First full day out with the Masport.
Picked up great in the soaking wet:) Filled the grass box to the brink. I'm very happy.

Simon Davies replied to Simon Davies's discussion B&S 675 or Honda GCV 160?"I ordered the Honda engined model online and it arrived yesterday.
However much I wanted to use the local dealers I decided the £70 price difference was too much :)
(It came at £719 delivered, with oil).
Lets hope it picks up well in the…"

I would second buying from the dealer, if there are any issues in the warranty…"
Simon Davies replied to Simon Davies's discussion B&S 675 or Honda GCV 160?"They won't budge on the price :(
