So, do you think Dwyer Felton is going to come out with a diesel walk behind mower?

I like the idea of the two-stroke diesels but I just don't know that much about them. One thing I read said that they tend to be heavy -- good for marine applications, etc. I also read that they don't use the crankcase to shoot the fuel-air mixture up to the combustion chamber. The fuel-air mixture is pumped under pressure -- sounds similar to a supercharger.

Detroit Diesel(GM).........are a two stroke supercharged,turbocharged Diesel........they have maximum torque at 1100Rpm and high idle of 2100Rpm.......these are Truck engines.
The car diesel engines are lighter even some have aluminum Blocks and heads..........but Steel Liners.........they have come a long way .........have a look at mercedes Benz.........racing their Diesel engine powered race cars.
Dwyer Felton........only have petrol honda.........they should look at diesel.........as the more they weigh the better.

Audi had fielded some turbo-diesel race cars recently. Some of that technology has filtered down to their consumer line.

Actually, it's the Jetta TDI that I've been thinking about -- but it's just a thought.

I'm not absolutely sure -- somebody help me -- but, at least in the US, the Jetta is a different car. It's larger than the Golf -- not just sedan vs hatchback.

Mow your lawn at the right height and speed, as well as having protective gear on, ie. Gloves Full face Protectors and Fully clothed........and Steel capped boots.
Many a Rotary mower has taken Toes and fingers off careless People.
Remember mowing can be dangerous if you do not take precautions..........death or serious injury can occur when you least expect it..........bit like Insurance...........you never know when you may require it.:eek:
