    Default Briggs & Stratton

    Hi there. We have been told to be careful when buying Briggs & Stratton mowers (RideOn) as the oil pumps are prone to blow when mowing a lot of uneven ground. Could anyone please give me advise.

    I avoid them where possible. Had a motor go after 150 hours it was always serviced on time, and never over worked. $1500 replacement engine. Thanks but no thanks once bittern as they say.
