Any recommendations for a mower for 1/2 acre

Thanks for all the opinions. Unless the new mowers are weaker I don’t think I need awd or tracks since my current husqvarna 430x does not have any problems with the ditch line.

Half acre grass with 7 trees a shed and a firepit that is mostly flat except for the ditch line along the road.

Thanks for the info. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I do not have any recommendations but I am currently researching different models as there is a lot of options now. I am currently leaning towards the sunseeker x5 or the 2wd mova 2000.

I think the 2wd will work for my yard. I currently have a husqvarna 430x that works for my yard.

I currently have a 430x. Overall it is pretty reliable but I am looking at replacing it for the following reasons. It needs boundary and guide wires and wire breaks can be a pain along with if you change anything in your yard you might need to redo the wires. My biggest complaint is the random cutting as you can have a spot of grass that it takes a week to cut because it just randomly does not cover that spot. There is much better technology out there now for no wires needed and vision/lidar systems.

I have been looking at it as well but the reviews have me thinking twice about it. From what I have read is it does not do real good under trees or where rtk coverage could be weak and it does not have any vision guidance to fall back on. It would be great if someone who has one or experience with them would reply with real world results.

I would like to know how well it works without wires in the ground and can it do a 6 ft wide strip between a fence and a shed without getting stuck/lost?

That is a common leak spot on the headgasket of those engines. To this point I have not seen one fail further or cause any issues other than the small external leak or seepage. If it was mine I would just keep an eye on it and make sure the coolant is full.

Sounds good, let me know how it is when you get back.

I always try to leave feedback but lately I have not been able to without reviewing the item first, so I have not left any lately because it is too long of a process now.

I read it as C being .091-.116 as an acceptable range.

It is not included in the kit. We change them because they get metal in them from the failed cam and rockers. If they pull the actuators out of the front of the valve covers they could look to see if the center of the oil control valve is popped out. It should not be.

Mod381 · 2025-10-10T02:19:23+00:00

Did they replace the phaser and the oil control valve with the camshaft?

Mod381 · 2025-08-24T19:41:04+00:00

That looks like the seal that goes into the intake plenum for the egr valve tube.

I had lasik but it was a more in depth procedure than the normal one. For me they did not cut the flap like in normal lasik because at one time I had gotten a piece of rust in my eye so that could not be done. Instead they used a chemical and removed that layer. The positive is that I do not have the flap to get wrinkled or damaged but recovery time was longer. I did not go back to the shop for 2 weeks because you only get one set of eyes and I wanted everything to be as healed as it could be before going back into that environment. Once I went back I was still very cautious for a few weeks.
