Thread: Lawnmowers / slashers - Self Propelled, online. . .

One of the reviews said freight to WA was nearly $200. So for $500 you should be able to get a much better quality mower locally.

Ouch... and since posting I've been finding reviews which aren't exactly glowing.... Darn it ! these come up regularly as an evilBay 'special deal' and often (?) with FREE postage.

I've got an unreasonable expectation about 'Reliability', and the only way around that is :- Victa 16" Razor Cut Mower | Bunnings Warehouse

Co$t will be amortized over 2 to 3 months.... by letting gym membership lapse...

On the other hand, I suppose SWMBO would prefer repairing the 'Terraforma' (Very Heavy Kawasaki slasher) - the throttle cable can't be THAT expensive.

Aldi were selling 19 inch cut for similar money.
My missus purchased one.
Similar specs.........Four way etc.
Worked OK for the money.
Now after 18 months drive to one wheel plays up, easy fix , but reoccurs.
No parts back up.
Gone back to the Honda I have had for 15 years which has given no trouble and still has a local dealer and parts back up..............The Honda cost me 1200 dollars but was worth every cent.
The Honda starts first pull every time, while the cheaper cusin may take Three goes to start.

You cant beet Honda.I have a 19" Honda push mower,excellent.Deb has a Honda 4 stroke whipper snipper,the big one with handlebars.Hadnt been use for over 3 years,I dug it out the other weekend,put some fuel in and it went first pull.Also got a 2EUI generator,that also goes first pull.

Has anyone purchased one of those tow behind atv mowers with their own motor, I have a ride on for lawns, wanted something to tidy up small paddocks ?

Cheers

The best push mower I've ever found .... is a Victa super 600... Mine will never be sold. You simply can't kill it!

Victa Super 600 | eBay

It will cut ANYTHING. If you can't push the mower onto whatever is to be cut (because it is to long), lift the nose and drop it down onto the the grass/weed/blackberries. Go the mighty Victa 2stroke. The grunt the thing is absolutely phenomenal.

Mastercut 600

You can still buy them new (they are that good, they appears to have made them for about 60 years unchanged). It appears they won't sell them with the proper 2stroke now given that website (you could a couople of years back). You have to do with a heavy, gutless 4 stroke now.

There easy to cut around trees with ... the very low/flat deck will run under tree branches, decked/outdoor area. So you don't need to use a whipper snipper. There is a cutout in the deck for edging around trees with on the left side.

The only problem you will ever find is ... they ARE heavy to push.
