Which Mower

[jim@T&Ccare]

I'm looking to buy a pedestrian, self propelled, large as possible, collection mower and I'm after some opinions on the best makes for the money!

 

Anyone had any experience with Viking?

 

Thanks in advance

Honda pro roller 21" deck is top banana. Or the 4 wheeled version. Collects wet or dry grass no worries. Expensive but they will last years.

They are pants in the wet compared to the top end Viking mower.

 

I run the Kubota rear roller on a 21" (Honda shanks) very good mower @ £900 approx.

And a top end Viking 4 wheeled 21" awesome cutting in the wet.

Some one on here also has a large toro 30 odd inch cut pedestrian mower, I'm sure they will be along soon....

Yeah just found that Toro 30inch for sale for £839 inc the vat which seems bloody good money to be fair!

We've just been given 55 RAF sites to cut and collect fortnightly so want to get them done as quick as possible and that looks just the tool

How does that big toro compare to the Viking for collection in the wet?

Could you not use the little etesia ride on?

[jim@T&Ccare]

It's all back gardens so has to fit through a standard gate way

The Toro hates wet grass and the Viking is absolutely the best wet mower I have come across more so the 4 wheeler ,very light and cheaper to fix and buy .

 

There are 2 Toro's....Timemaster and Turfmaster ,one is commercial and the other domestic .The commercial one like mine has the roll cage thing over engine .when its dry it does fly and saves a load of time .

The commercial Turfmaster is much dearer at around £1500 I think .

I have a short clip on youtube somewhere and on here .
