Thread: Our mower died - what's people's experience with mulching mowers?

Hi Grizzly,
take a look at this one:

I have one of these and it was by far the best investment ever made after the purchase of a dishwasher!!!! You won't believe how you ever could cope without such a device.

now thats just down right lazy

do they really work
where do i get one

Ah mowing a task that ruins a good weekend and can be frustrating.
It is interesting the comments and recommendations on what to buy and what is better than some.
My contribution,
I have always had 2 stroke victa mowers, my first new one i bought in the early 80's it is still going strong,i left it in sydney when we moved, my parents have it. Have an electric scott bonnar reel mower, but it is a shed ornament at the moment.
Up here in paradise I have 5 victa 2 strokes, one new one and 4 older models, they all work, new plugs fuel and airfilters seem to make them go and go.
the new one is a mulching mower and works well on shorter grass, but not too hot on longer stuff, so the catcher goes on.
i have an older steel chassis job, side chute , that gets flogged to death, it starts first go everytime, I use that in the orchard and for the rougher spots, i still haven't broken it.
Then for the orchard , i have a rover ride on with a B&S motor, the motor is fine, I also have a composting mulcher with a B&S motor, it cops a pizzling when i am mulching down old maccas and leaves, and it still goes.
then when all else fails, i put the slasher on the back of the tractor.
Aside from what the experts say, for my money you can't go past a victa.
