Good looking mowers here! I have a 20" Hyundai 510SPE with a 196cc engine, electric start, and 4 speeds. It's a lovely machine. I use it at the school I work at and volunteer cutting a very wet orchard on the weekends. With a high lift blade it bags wet grass really well.
I run a old 2004 hayter hawk auto drive on a very steep garden and it is great lots of nice stripes but is getting old now would love to see some budget roller mowers in a vid. keep up the good work!
I really like that you also Test those entry level mowers. I mean these are great machines for a regular homeowner etc. I would prefer a Briggs engine over that Honda, but thats just my opinion on that. My old Sabo mower just keeps on going, I still use it also commercialy 👍🏻
Guys , for a review it would have been nice to see the underside and some details of the self propel , e.g. is it belt drive , prone to sticks jamming or not etc. Watching brand new mowers go over short lawn is not really much of a test to be honest . I do enjoy your channel so I hope you take my comments as constructive and not overly critical.
Look Nice little mowers be good to compare with other budget mowers the blue stands out for the last year have had a ATCO mower from a local dealer Thanks again
We have a mcCulloch mower we had it for 5 years now never been serviced been out to grass land company and it cut the lawn every week all year around and starts up first time no problem
I am on my second Honda Issy, on the first one the engine was great, go on forever but the deck was steel and rusted through in several places.The new one does seem to be powder coated so perhaps will last longer. Looks like these SGS have steel deck also. i had a Mountfield with a B and S engine once and it gave a lot of trouble.
Using Stiga SA55 ,Cobra with Honda engine,Toro Turfmaster, with Kawasaki engine, and Mountfield 1530H tractor..The SGS/Honda,seems a match for the Cobra.
Currently have a 21" Toro recycler, but the engine (B&S) died and the local repairer said I can't be fixed, I came across this as I wanted a budget replacement with a Honda engine.
Josh made that 16" one look so tiny... or was it the other way around? He also had no problem getting that plug installed I see. And I'm not even going to touch 07:40 😲🤣😲
Worth noting that even Briggs & Stratton are terrible for spare parts since they went bankrupt during covid. Budget mowers are always best bought with a Loncin engine these days 👍
The color makes it look no thrills....I bought a Hawksmoor no thrills thing 4 years back when my Honda was being fixed was only like £180 and 4 years of hard use as my rough cut mower and it's still going perfectly fine
This video illustrates very well why my other half prefers to work with me and the guys rather than other women in an office, you're laughing when you finish each day instead of pulling arrows out of your back. I looked up SGS just now and I can't believe how cheap their mowers are for something this good, it seems they do indeed sell battery powered stuff just not under the SGS name. Now comes the nitpicking... I don't like the color, blue is one of my favorite colors but I don't like the way the entire deck is covered like that. My opinion, they should use blue color on the mower but do it the way other manufacturers such as Honda do, as an addition to a nice, metallic silver or black deck. A simple analogy being a t-shirt with a grey torso and blue shoulder length sleeves, a flat color beside one which stands out looks much nicer.
I like how you test most of the mowers and scarifiers in your videos but you never let us know the results on one test that you do to most of them, which is sitting on them😂 christ.....do they pass or no?
Id prefer to see a loncin now then any briggs engine the briggs are not what they were them little briggs if you said the little piston was plastic id say told ya cheap crap now are briggs
Yep, I've called um briggsanscrapum for years. They are bloody crap, bit like tecumseh. The silly diaphragm in the carb goes an it's fucked, even a new one doesn't seem to fix it. Honda or a loncin copy or kawasaki.
Yeah Loncin is a great engine. But on a lot of budget mowers they are not Loncin they are really rubbish. Not all Chinese engines are Loncin. Also agree Briggs has fallen by the way side of late, but there are still a lot of fans out there who would only buy Briggs.
@@MachineryNation there is its just the name now do and the smaller briggs are all made in china you could fall into a trap buying anything now with out knowing your stuff
@noelcahill6707 typical, but made in China doesn't mean its rubbish, quality control can sort that. Some daft things brigs did, like putting the tank an carb on the opposite side of the engine to the intake valve and using a pipe through the cylinder head area, so once you worked the engine, it overheats an the fuel evaporated out of it.

It was really funny when you guys throwdt grass at you guys face 😂❤😊
Yeah, that was funny 😂
I’ve been running a Sanli LS42 since 2010. Cuts 3 lawns a year and has lasted a lot longer than I expected!
Ideal, glad you have got on well so far 👍🏼

Good shout that, we will look into it 👍🏼
My mowers are a 40 year old Flymo with a jlo 2 stroke engine, husqvarna and a weibang.
Flymo is my favourite.
JLO engine, only ever seen 2 in my life 👍🏼

Yes we’ve gone any from the lower end over the last year, we need to bring more back to the channel 👍🏼

Good point, we never looked underneath. Our bad 🤦🏻♂️ and we normally do, fairly standard under there with plastic gearbox’s and average blades 👍🏼

Yeah it certainly stands out, thanks Darran 👍🏼

I'm hanging out for your Ego commercial mower review
Soon I promise 👍🏼
How would you rate the 53cm against something like a Mountfield SP53h? Is the Mountfield worth the extra £150?
Josh made that 16" one look so tiny... or was it the other way around?
He also had no problem getting that plug installed I see.
And I'm not even going to touch 07:40 😲🤣😲
Slipped it in like there was no restriction 😂 yeah let’s not mention 7:40 again hahahaha 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Nice mowers, Honda engine 👌
Thanks Roger
I use a honda hr 194 from 1988 and a cobra mx51 spc
Conras 2021
Good mowers, keep it going 👍🏼
Worth noting that even Briggs & Stratton are terrible for spare parts since they went bankrupt during covid. Budget mowers are always best bought with a Loncin engine these days 👍
John Deere 14SB is one of the best mowers ever made. I own two of them.
Only think is you can’t get them anymore.
The color makes it look no thrills....I bought a Hawksmoor no thrills thing 4 years back when my Honda was being fixed was only like £180 and 4 years of hard use as my rough cut mower and it's still going perfectly fine
to me better off making mowers with known engines rather than a battery mower with a non known battery
100% agree Russell!
I have a honda hrx217vla
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Fair comment, I was not so sure on the blue to start with but it has grown on me now.
Those little honda engines go on and on 👌 thought they were Hyundai initially with the colour. Isn't every lawns covered in dog 💩?😂
Nice catch, I forgot Hyundai tools are blue.
Yeah blue dog poo is an issue, nothing worse 🤣
