Indeed.....so hard to pick that "Perfect mower"....I recently sold on my husky 42" cut with a briggs 18.5HP motor.....there is less grass now with some adjustment to garden etc so it was all twisting and turning on the ride on....very hard on the grass so had to go.....I bought a Mcculloch as seen in the pic, OK takes me an hour to do lawn now but I cant fault it...even at this time of year it mulches with style!....admittedly I bought it for its "Mad Max" looks over and what I should have bought is this zero turn :rolleyes:

22" Zero Turn Lawn Mower | Self Propelled Petrol Rotary Mower

Mmmmm...interesting... That Titan look a decent bit of kit...

I have two comments:

Where are they, who are they and what's the secret.. I have this phobia of dealing with companies that cannot supply an address and dealers with just a mobile number.

I've been in business and frankly, what have you got to hide?. You have a very quick nibble at the worm and you have to hook the fish or it's gone. Installing all the confidence you can...gets the sale.

As with the Qualcast....one walk down the lawn, even on the highest cut....the grass box is full. The Titan's taking a large cut and a small catcher that would weigh a bit with wet grass in.... "SO cut dry grass then I hear you say!!"... WHEN's that then????? I reply!! Then it's 2 miles to mow the lawn and three miles to empty the box!!!

Apologies for my cynicism, oh and exaggerating !!! No wheres Aladdin gone with that lamp?????

With our beautiful damp climate one must be on one's toes....It is not possible always but since I bought the Mcculloch I used the box once on the first cut of the year and have being mulching since...this whole issue of where and having to empty the box doesnt sit well with me :) .....easy said with a manageable garden I guess...that zero turn has a Kohler engine which a good thing although now made in that place that makes everything...

80 lt bag....not too shabby....47Kg is quite heavy though combined with full box!....rear wheel drive which is good....my only concern was the parts for that rear drive assembly...other than that its a fine machine and being a Zero and self propelled it would certainly compensate for any extra weight.

Yes, I saw that rear drive and thought "Champion" and I don't mean the wonder horse!! Dreadful things..
