Great video as always guys

Just found your channel and love this review. I don't think I can get 3 of the machines here in the States but I'm going to look them up. The AS Motor really was impressive with the electric motor. I think I can get the Stihl here or a version of it as Stihl is very popular here. But great side-by-side tests and Walley in the background was making me laugh! Thanks guys..👍And as a side note, I'm retired now but I own two 48 " mowers. One is a Scag hydro walk behind with a sulky and the other is a Bunton 48" belt drive that is as old as dirt but still runs like a tank. The Kawasaki 14 hp engines on each are wonderful motors that start 2 pulls max every time.

We had A S 4x4 20 years ago couldn't justify the running costs. Now run a webang, what I call a multi purpose middle of the road mower. When thay die get a new one its putting up a proper fight . The frunt wheel drive is counter Intuitive going up a hill I'm inclined to give a helping push which pushes down on frunt wheel drive and lifts up a rear wheel drive. I find these tests to be very interesting the other major factor ye are going to have to take into account in the future is the cutting high measuring the actual high the blade tip is from the ground as hight adjusters might be slightly different

I'm italian i have the little grin em37, corded push mower with 1600w motor. I love it, the grin prices are a little bit high but ghe quality is very good. Also the Marina System mowers are italian and very well made

Look like all good quality. I think the AS mower is the best of them all.

Brilliant mulching lawnmowers. I am still trying to save up for the Stihl RM4 RTP. At the moment I have a Ariens razor 21 2 in 1 lawnmower and it's been the best lawnmower I have ever had for my gardening business. Great video lads. Fantastic and informative.

Thank you 🤩

Roman definitely loves the AS-MOTOR 510. I even spent my own money to get one! Ergonomics and the fully foldable handle bar are very helpful in every day use. On combustion models the engine is turned 180 degree around to make them lightweight in the front and to protect the carburetor. Great 👍 videos.

You certainly will NOT grin when you come to replace a badly damaged cutting blade! Too late that you need to nearly empty the bank, account, again. If you find a manufacturer with a more expensive blade replacement, please TELL Machinery Nation! Be aware that the metal 'constitution' makes resharpening less easy, and as for the "convoluted" blade shape, this guarantees to make the process more difficult than any conventional mulcher blade which do respectably good jobs at an honest price!

I collect at the start of the season then try mulch as much as i can. I use a husqvarna mulching mower. I do like the front wheel drive. Maybe in the future ibwould love the AS motor. With local council in Scotland starting to charge for the green waste bin maybe in the future the AS will be bought. I love the height of cut on the AS motor whichbgive you advantage of mulching long wet grass

Hi James & Josh all looked good mowers the AS Motor & Grin top job for machines with out a big following ( is that down to being top end commercial with a price to match ) ? or just with the Grin not having been sold in the UK is not well known yet look well built then webang appeared from know where a few years back Thanks again

The Grin looks good but the constant contact handle drive system would be a deal breaker for me, no to the FWD Stihl as well. I would probably go for the Weibang, simply on price, compared to the AS if i had to pick one. Cheers for the review chaps 👍

4 height cut only. Adjuster in the vertical position is a pure pig for snagging under shrubs. Built for dry Italian climate gardens where wheel "scrapers" are not needed. I think they are overpriced (and AS machines) compared to the competition. More alternatives than just the 4 tested!

Great test 👍🏻 but you should test an AS Motor with the AS made two stroke engine, thats a beast 😊

Great video guys. Weibang definitely got the better of the Stihl. Closer between the AS and Grin. That's a tough choice. Does the Grin with Kawasaki get the edge over the AS with Briggs if going petrol v petrol? Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Thanks Graeme! I think the AS with a petrol engine would be on par with the Grin.

I do both mulch and collect , i got three weighbangs small meduim and large . large being the professional , and i cant fault any of them , the only differance is , i use the high lift blades on them all , and trust me please folks the high lift blades are the thing , compared to regular blades , (( go get yerself some high lift bades )) You will be amazed at the differance .

Great review. The stihl mower definitely had the longer thicker grass than the others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Are those mowers available in the United States? The quality looks far superior to American mowers.

Thanks for the video. Would a small elderly woman be able to start the kawasaki engine by herself?

Take the batteries out before touching the blade just in case the safety mechanism goes haywire so you don’t lose a finger or two.

How much are they then.

Which mowers have a ten year warranty or more? The rest are of no value, as if the manufacturer has no faith in them.
