Why are Viking lawnmowers not popular?

[difflock]

specifically

MB 755 KS - 21? self-propelled professional mower with blade brake clutch

Interestingly, and I think, significently, Viking only offer 0NE professional spec lawnmower.

Unlike other brands that offer a whole pleortha of alledgedly "professional" mowers.

And the Viking offering does exactly what it says on the tin.

I use Viking mowers all the time for my grass cutting and can't fault them. I've a 4 series that's done 3 seasons and just bough a 5 series as needed another mower. There good machines and nice and light

We sell a lot of them, they are well made and perform well. The target buyer seems to be the man who would have bought a Honda and the different models are aimed at domestic and professional users. Parts are easily available and generally very reasonably priced. Stihl are pushing them hard in the UK as they are very popular in Europe.

The 7 series is one of those I want to own at some point; what's it like compared to an Etesia?

[difflock]

Cant really offer a "back-to-back" with the equivalent Etesia.

Another brand I would generally "rate", but I cannot get my staff to take to them.

I had an Etesia out on demo for a few days prior to buying the Viking.

Just no interest from staff after a few very desultory "trials"

I do however reckon that the Honda mowers are overrated.

seen a Stiga mulching mower lately, impressively built, no steel spared

[campanula]

I like them - easy to use, can push one all day (and have done).

I have the 755 21inch and it's brilliant.., weighs a blinking ton though! Cuts quickly, looks good and you can have a mulching deck for it which is very useful.
