MF, I imagine the thumb latch catchers would cost too much and kill the profit margins. When you look at what goes into them next to a modern catcher (from any company), I see bean counters having fits at the very thought.
Is the professional series the 20 inch cut with big fuel tank?
I think you have nailed it Sapper and explains why they kept them for pro models only, which cost twice the domestic range.
Yep, that's the one.
All the points NormK made about keeping cost of production low for low expectations has lead to the throwaway mowers of today, to remain viable in today's world.
