Somewhat less than impressed by the service. The shop guy claimed they'd lost the docket and didnt know who it belonged to. But this contradicted what I experienced in several visits to check on 'progress', when i was told it was 'in the queue'. Then today they had the cheek to ask why it took so long to pick it up, saying it'd been sitting there for months...!! I'm all for supporting small business, which sometimes has NFI about service.

Gave it a test run on some thicker grass and it was completely untroubled. It has the GCV 160 (cc) engine. Feels well built and has a big, wide cut - think its 21 inches. The drive mechanism is a handy help, though the machine is only here temporarily. I hope to use it a bit here to get used to it before taking it to its ongoing home. That will happen next time I'm on the mowing roster.
Hmmm, sounds familiar.
