Hi Max,
Problem is the only really good self propelled is the Deutschers the rest are garbage. A mower bloke who comes her bought 2 Honda self propelled for $2000 each, I thought he was fibbing but he wasn't. There isn't much else to choose from and all the people who have contacted me have wanted swivel front so they can get around under trees. I saw a 2 inch bender on gumtree a few weeks ago for $50 probably should have grabbed it.
