Hi MF and Tyler, This is what it has ended up like, looks a pretty rugged unit underneath. If a manufacturer decided to build something like this I am sure they would fly out the door instead of being the joke in the mower world. The little Chonda motors were let down by the bar blade that rendered them pretty useless. Photo is a bit deceptive, looks like there is a lot of clearance between the end of the blade and the body but it is 410 across the blades and I had to nick a bit off the back of the blades to allow them to clear the skirt at one point. With the catchers I cut the front edge off which is good because this section is often damaged and this allows the catcher to sit flat on the bottom inside tray and I get to get rid of damaged catchers I couldn't bring myself to throw out
