Those slasher mowers were made up until recent years, but were discontinued around the time the two-stroke was canned. Not enough money in it for greedy Briggs and Stratton then.

These were mostly powered by the two-stroke engine for the added grunt cutting through rough, tall grass, but B&S and Honda's were used as well. They were not big sellers, I haven't even seen one in person. The basic machine carried on for decades and was named differently, I think the last of them were called MasterCut 600..................

The old alloy based Victa's (Mustang, MasterCut, Mulchmaster 550 and so on) were proper Aussie-made quality. It's a shame a greedy American company took them over and economized the hell out of the company. Don't get me wrong, the current Victa's are the best mowers on the market, I just wish they were still in Australian hands.

Speaking of greedy I thought that asking $280 was a bit much.


When would you like me to pick it up for you?
