What 1st hedge cutter and lawn mower?

[Starscream]

No the lawnflite is the rip off!!

Kaaz made these mowers first then Honda lawnflite cobra etc copied them under licence as they are so good!

I've got the lawnflite pro 21 roller like you say it's heavy but good

 

Ah ok! Are the gearboxes better on the kaaz ones?

To clarify.

 

The likes of Lawnflite Pro and the Asuka, Sarp, Cobra and Danarm equivalents are not made under licence from Kaaz.

They are made in Japan by Kaaz themselves and the only differences are the stickers they put on them when they sell them to other companies.

 

In the UK they are imported and sold under the Danarm brand, and many of the other brands are supplied their mowers through Danarm.

 

The Kaaz gearbox is in fact probably the best gearbox fitted to any mower. It is extremely well built with precision quality from all metal components. Few people realise that Kaaz are gearbox and diff specialists, building high quality racing gearboxes and 'drifting' diffs.

 

The gearbox can however suffer from two problems, both of which can be avoided.

1. The roller model has the gearbox low down between the roller halves. If used in wet, muddy conditions the shaft seals can fail, leading to bearing failure. Surely its best not to use a mower like this in those conditions?

2. The clutch is a 'dog clutch' and can wear a little on the corners if used roughly. Clutch life can be vastly enhanced if the operator just pushes the mower forward a little as he engages the clutch, so that it has to carry a little less torque. If I am honest, this tip will prolong the life of any lawnmower gearbox.

 

The later model Kaaz mowers all incorporate a Torque limiter in the drive shaft which, if set correctly will take the load off the dog clutch, as well as uprated seals on the output shafts.

I knew it was something like that!!

My lawnflite plainly says kaaz on the deck!

I've ended up with a stihl hs85, 2nd hand but had it quite cheap with a blower I hope.

 

Still not decided on a mower!
