I'm a 67 years old ex oilfield retiree living on 5 acres a little bit north east of Perth in Western Australia. I have had a Husqvarna LTH 1842 for about 9 years and it has been a great little machine. I have been able to purchase spare parts for it from the US via the internet because parts here in Australia are very expensive. Last year due to some pressure from a mate (friend) I invested in a zero turn mower, a Hustler Sport with an 18hp Kawasaki engine and 42" cut and I have to say I look forward to mowing the grass. I dropped the deck off the Husky and now use it as a garden tractor around the place but the deck can be on in a few minutes if someone in the area needs their grass cut.
