Tony Kelly –
I’ve owned one of these for 17 years. In that time it’s had a couple of new spark plugs, a couple of air filters and a few oil changes as well as the occasional blast with a pressure washer and for all that lack of attention it’s still going strong. The swing blades are massively forgiving of hitting the odd stone or a fallen bit of tree without complaint on rough ground but it also gives a great cut on regular lawns. Like everything from New Zealand it’s as tough as old boots and it’s an all round brilliant machine.
