New mower

[WoodED]

i agree with etesia,, the etesia pro 46 either the phe(honda engine) or the phb (honda engine with a blade clutch, they are light, reliable, tough, give a loverly cut and fill the box right to the brim and it tells u when its full, fantastic mowers, mines 11 years old and was an ex council machine when i bought it 3 years ago,

If you can lay your hands on a late Kubota W-Series rotary then you will be doing yourself a favour. Brilliant machines.

If your after a cut everything mower, if it can push it over it minces it. The Toro 48" tri blade midi works nigh on vertical good bit of kit. I've noted that all the mowers for banks and steep graidiants have Kawasaki V Twins as their the only manufacturer that will guarentee thir oil pick up ?

Ariens and Toro do a 21" with pressure lubed Kawasaki (FJ-180V). Scag et al all with pressure lube Kawasaki V-twins. Honda and Kohler do them but no comparison with the Kawasakis'.

Hi guys and cheers for all the advice.

I went for the Etesia Pro 46 and its seems a belter on first impressions.

Light, handles well and the grassbox holds a lot more than you would think, plus the full indicator also saves time.

See how it handles the Lancashire 'summer'!!!!!!

Cheers again arbtalkers.
