Managed to purchase a 36" mower which is identical to the bradley or redhawk version. Paid very little for it and looks in great condition. Has anyone used these in hard graft, and if so what are they like. Looks a heavy machine at 280 kg. Built like a tank.

Im after a hedge cutter that must have a big blade to do a load of leylandi,connifers. My hs 80 is getting abit old now. Any thoughts ?

Im thinking of upgrading in the next season to another zero turn. Could you give me info on the best quality finish on rear discharge decks. Ive used side discharge, but rear discharge uses less power due to not cutting grass again after each pass, and less mess on paths etc. I have looked on...

Has anyone used this machine and how would you rate them for heavy commercial use ? Also is the rear discharge machine good at long wet grass ?

Hi guys. By pure chance i was finishing off a job and blew all dirt out from under seat, and noticed a tiny amount of oil leaking on one of the pipes leading from the pump. It seemed slightly slack. I used a big spanner and tightened it up. Do these work loose themselves ? Or is there a problem...

Hi guys. Does anyone know if a zero turn mower has been made which gives you the option of rear discharge or side on same machine ? Surely manufacturers like bobcat etc have thought of it ? Sides great but it would be superb if you could change in a matter of seconds to rear by shutting side...

Has anyone used this machine cutting yet ? I find it amazing that there are no reviews. At the end of the day know one is going to be interested if its not tested. I want to see it cut 4 inch grass, dry and wet as i cut all day long with my procat in these conditions.

Can anyone recommend a good rear discharge machine for serious commercial use. Something 52" 54" or even 61". So many pros and cons. Clumping cant.be helped but heard some are far better than others. Cheers. No bloody guitar comments ;-)

Thought i would ask all the owners of true commercial zero turn mowers which make and model do you use and swear by. From large to small. Also machines to really cut tall grass down to nothing every cut.

Has anyone had to replace these and at what hours did they start making noises ? Any idea what these cost to replace. Surely greasable spindles are a better choice. No noise but always in the back of my mind since you cant bloody grease them :-(

Hi guys. Ive been using victa 550,s for 3 years and have found them great in the dry and wet, but im thinking of buying from new ad its piece of mind. Is there anything same size that cuts like these and power wise ? Not many good side discharge mowers in the 21" 22" category here in uk.

Has anyone done loads of hours using one of these or a predator pro ? Ive always wondered what is the lifespan of a typical commercial zero turn, or does the engine go before drive etc. Last year I only did 115 hours so hoping it will last another 5 years.

Ive noticed this site has a section for makes of machines, but no bobcat section. Surely it would be sensible to add this manufacturer as alot of contractors use these. I hope the site changes as im a procat user and theres nothing on this forum. Anyone else agree :-)

Has anyone used this mower. It is an honda Hrs536sd. Its a pure mulching 21" mower from honda. Ive been using my old 2 stroke victa but its pretty much worn out now. Any other mowers similar to cut wet grass no problem ?

Has anyone tried this nice sleek looking zero turn yet ? Would like to know how it compares to the leaders of the pack. Ferris, bobcat, scag etc. Not even a video of it cutting anywhere. Odd.
