To be honest I have already spent 300 Euros just for spare parts, I changed whole transmission kit, belt, cables. It is working but overall performance is not good. Only positive on this machine is Honda engine.
height is adjustable and should be Ok also for a taller people, main issue on this machine are cheap plastic slippery wheels, sometimes it feels as a car on ice, you need to push it and push it again which is annoying, you can really use full speed only on some solid surfaces.
@@StenCpu wheels are really ... bad. For that price why no one makes normal, at least rubber wheels. And why not make them wider and with larger diameter not to fall in each worms :) hole. After one year use wheels are too freeplay. Took a loot at bearings - they are there :) but looks like bearing balls in ... beer can :)
@@migano666totally agree, after almost 2 years of use my lawnmower is now at the guarancy service, whole metal body starts to break in the place after front wheels...
@@StenCpu oh, that's bad, then have to prepare my poor welding machine. Some days ago auto walk started to slow down. Just stopped using it, have to check drive pulley - auto walk lever is too soft than before, but still returns on start position. Have to mention - please, use torque wrench on blade screw - week ago I hit metal with mover, blade adapter pins have been cut, but got bent chrankshaft - I think because of too hard fastened blade, should be 43-47Nm.
Ok, it seems auto walk or self propelled transmition is dead - no movement of belt pulley when turn wheel with engaged self propelled. For this time - removed belt and removed gears in wheels. Will send to repair whem mover will be less used. Gearbox is about 200eur but it should be warranty repair for me. What can I say - without self propelled and grass collector box this 56cm width mover is ... not easy to push :)
It is usually taking me 3 to 4 hours to mow the lawn - many trees, steep terrain. I am thinking about new machine, I have already spent over 300 Euros just for spare parts... But Honda engine is great. Btw Wet and overgrown grass is a big issue.
@@markod7662 After almost two years of use I must confess that engine is still the best part of this machine and wheels are worst, I also found some crackings on metal construction, just behind front wheels.
@@markod7662 before have been usig husqv LC148 with hard plastic collector. More than 10 years and the only problem was bent hadle, because it was not walk behind :)

Also interested how the lawn mower is operating. Looking for one currently for 1700m2 flat back yard.

Thank you so much for the info. Checked Husqvarna, Stiga and Honda. Will stick to Honda HRN 536 VK.
How's the handlebar height for a taller operator and is the speed good enough? Many of these self-propelled mowers seem really slow.

Hello, how is the mowers performance after 3yrs of use? How big is your garden? Thanks and cheers!

@@StenCpuit doesnt collect wet grass?
hello. speed control lever at 1:37 this controls propulsion and blade speed at same time?
Nope, just propulsion
@@StenCpu Thank you very much. You were most helpful. Are you stil happy with the mower?

@@StenCpu Thank you. Usually that is the case nowadays. Build quality of things is "modern".Made only to outlive the warranty by a small margin.
