    I'm sure all the safety guards were temporarily removed so that the photo would display all the working parts.

    My 48" Toro, bought 12 months ago, runs a Kohler motor. When did they change to Kwakkas?

    Agree with others above.

    Look to what your local council or mowing contractors use and aim for that. Quality will pay for itself for years to come. I bought an Ever-ride 17 years ago - never an issue (Kawasaki) and I'll never need another mower, the thing is built like a tank.\

    Our local council use Scag mowers.

    Hello Colin,

    Yes I do have more than one spare rear Land Rover axle. Wow what a unit! What could possibly go wrong?

    Kind Regards

    A good friend bought a house on 5 acres. The land had been cleared and grassed but not levelled or cleaned of sticks and stumps and rocks. He was using domestic rider mowers that seemed to be totally rooted after 2 years. At the Toowoomba Field Days our company stand was next to Greenfield Mowers. We reps got talking over drinks and I asked about what he needed. He is a big guy around 17 stone. The Greenfield rep said what we was using would barely carry him around let alone do rough mowing as well. The recommendation was to get a small farm tractor 25-40 hp diesel, under blade or front blade and a pto slasher. Set the blade 3"-4" above ground level and it would take the top off any humps and drop the dirt into the hollows and the slasher would cope with the rough stuff. After a couple of years of this treatment he should have smooth grass and somewhat level land. Then he should go to a roller mower.
