There is just something about the Victas that just do it for me. Maybe it's the double helix cylinder, wooden rollers, the cheat lines down the side or the fact that you can get them with motors that don't have valves. Still, after the effort I put into my 14" SB, I don't think I'll part with it anytime soon.

P.S. I know that area well! You live about a half dozen doors down from family! Unreal.

I don't collect mowers. I just require Multiple Mowing Solutions™.
