Our verdict
The Atco for buyers who want British-built stripes without paying Hayter money. Same heritage, similar build quality, slightly cheaper used. The Briggs 750EX is reliable but not Honda-level. Buy if you have a Briggs dealer locally.
Pros & cons
Pros
- British-built Atco quality
- 48cm cut + heavy steel roller for proper stripes
- Briggs 750EX is well-supported
- Atco parts continuity goes back decades
Cons
- Heavy at 37kg
- Steel roller deck rusts if stored damp
- Atco resale below Hayter at the same age

Buying second-hand
£200–380 used. Steel deck rust check is critical — flip and look for hole-through corrosion. Roller bearings should turn smoothly. Original Atco serial number on the deck adds £40 to fair value. Anything stored under cover is a buy.
