The Dwyer Felton is a heavy duty reel mower and is made for life.....that is why it costs $6,000 and weighs 127 Kgs.:cool::thumbsup:

That is an interesting machine. I can see how it could get a little hairy on the corners.

You probably know this but you can probably download an owner's manual and a parts manual for your engine for free from Honda. I found both manuals for my GXV340.

The mower has a Split roller and has a full differential.....so it corners well just pull back on the handle to take pressure off front roller and it is great!:cool:

My Billy Goat brush mower (pictured in an earlier post) has a differential but I wish it had limited slip as later models of the same mower are equipped. It gets stuck and can be a bear to get unstuck.:frown:

Just bite the bullet and lock the differential up....then you will have a drama turning......just have to persevere if you get bogged.:laughing:

Having it locked totally would pose other problems. As it is now I can look forward to a good workout -- particularly my upper body -- whenever I use it.

Lawn mowing is the best exercise you can get and is enjoyable to see the end product when finished mowing.:cool:

I have to see a close up of that grass... What type grass is it? :smile:KennyV

The Grass in the picture is 'Santa Ana Couch'.........these are mowed down to 3mm......but in residential in Perth it will normally be between 7-12mm depending on the customer.:confused2::eek:
