I have always wondered what the pros and cons are for 2 stroke and 4 strke mowers.

Are there any real advantages one way or the other?

adrianweller,
With two stroke machines you require oil mixed with the fuel and if not mixed correctly can damage the motor.

People usually go for four stroke machines because you don't have to worry about the fuel mix as it is like a car the fuel and oil are seperate.

The four strokes usually last longer than two strokes and also use less fuel.

Bruce
