The thing with lawn mowers, like many other things is that a lot of them are the same product with a different name and livery. Mountfield and Atco are two old established British companies but they are now part of the Global Garden Products company along with Stiga, Alpina and Castel Garden. If you look at the similar models from each of those companies you'll find that they are actually identical and all made in the same factory in Italy. Even the web sites are the same design. GGP also make mowers for retailers such and can be branded with a different name, but will have GGP somewhere on the identification plate and the address for the guarantee will be Castelfranco in Italy. Most of their mowers use B&S engines or Kawasaki. However they also have their own brand of motors that are Chinese sourced and according to my friend who knows about these things are best avoided.  

Husqvarna also make McCulloch, Gardena, Best Green and Jonsared amongst others.

If you push the boat out and look at an Iseki you will also find that they make Snapper lawn tractors that sell at a lower price.

 

Good to have knowledge like this shows somebody has done there homework. Or in the garden game for a living. Old post but Great read

There is a lot of information available about lawn mowers, so you possibly can compare options and choose the best lawnmower on your lawn. If you are replacing your previous mower, you probably already have a good suggestion of what will work for you. When you've got just moved into a home, you will need to know the number of square feet of lawn you have. This is essential since suggestions for various lawn mowers are partially based on lawn size measured in square feet.

While many people will be looking for a riding mower when they move out to the country they might not realize that so many types are available. I know that if you are like me you will be amazed at how many are available before you even think about purchasing one you will want to do your research properly to ensure that you do not waste your money.

There might seem to be a big choice, but when you actually look into it many are exactly the same machine under different brand names. Mountfield, Atco, Stiga, Castel Garden and Alpina ride-ons are all made in the same factory by the same people using the same parts. Other than the  Mountfield that uses a Chinese engine, all the others are identical except for colour and name badges. Same with McCulloch, Jonsared and Husqvarna - all the same. For pedestrian mowers John Deere and Honda are the same machines.

There is far less actual choice than you might think.
