## Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a walk behind garden tool chassis, which chassis comprises a first chassis part (11) and a second chassis part (12). The first chassis part (11) is arranged to receive an engine (2) of the garden tool (1), and to receive a first wheel assembly (3) of the garden tool (1). The second chassis part (12) is arranged to receive a handle assembly (4) of the garden tool (1), and to receive a second wheel assembly (5) of the garden tool (1). The first and second chassis parts (11, 12) are interconnected by means of vibration damping means (13).
