One of the well-known American mowers brands is Murray. In the US, the company’s mowers boldly wore bright red. However, today, its dominant shade has become sleek black. In the European market, Murray also distributes other types of outdoor lawn products and gardening tools in the European market. They include grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, pole saws, chainsaws, and leaf blowers. Murray’s beginnings could be traced back to the Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company. It was a producer of automobile parts, bicycles, and lawn and garden equipment. In 1988, a British investment firm, Tomkins, bought the company. Five years after, Murray bought Noma, a lawn and gardening equipment brand, to create its own tools. However, the company struggled to keep the brand afloat and had to file for bankruptcy after product recalls. Murray changed hands when Briggs & Stratton bought the company in 2004. Briggs & Stratton is a Wisconsin-based producer of engines for outdoor power equipment, including lawnmowers, pressure washers, and electrical generators. Since its acquisition, Murray has exclusively used engines from Briggs & Stratton for their lawnmowers. One of the most popular Murray products in the US is its push mower or walk-behind mower. Murray’s 21” push mower 152506 model is one of the top picks for many homeowners in the US. Although it’s one of the brand’s modern models, its innovation and fuel efficiency make it a popular choice for many homeowners. It’s one of Murray’s products that keep it relevant in the market. Despite being a consistent lawnmower brand in stores like Walmart and Home Depot, Murray has struggled to manufacture new mowers.
With such a rich history, it’s no wonder the company has so many products out there, from new to used. Finding the right documentation can be difficult, especially in the English language. This is the reason why we opened up a section dedicated to Murray User Manuals, where you can view or download each PDF.
