I have been offered a Mountfield 90-92 mower at a very good price with my
old Hayter 10-30 as trade in. Its a 2008 machine but looks like new and I
have been told it's has done very little work which I do believe.
Does anyone have experience with this model? I have used Hayters for years
and know little about Mountfields.

This is the machine I am thinking of buying
http://www.lawnmower-spy.co.uk/product/30/125/Mountfield-Rideon-Lawn-Tractor-T35h.html
This one looks as good as new but is less that a third of the price in the
link above.

Well for better or worse I have bought it. It leaves a neater cut than the
Hayter did and the blades/deck extend beyond the wheels on both sides (the
Hayter's only extended on one side) so its easier to do the edges. Based on
one cut it also seems to use a lot less fuel, must be something to do with
the OHV engine being more efficient than the side valve Briggs and Stratton
on the Hayter.
Best bit are it beeps when the grass box is full and has Hydrostatic drive.
Must master the change from reverse to forward so as not to get the front
wheels a foot off the ground, bit scary that...
