Are you able to explain to me the history and the reasoning
behind the belt and the chain driven Supercut models.


G'day Peter
This is not an easy topic...
I am ignorant enough not to know about belt-drive Supercuts.

But, the same issue arose with the domestic Model 33.

The argument - from my perspective - was all about reel protection.
Belts offered shock protection that chains or gears never could.

With the 33, the downside was the mixing of belts and chains in the one case.
Chains love oil; belts do not.

Any help in explaining your topic would be helpful here.
It's a great question.

Cheers
