Maxwestern was recently mentioning how OHV Hondas outperform the PT with more torque and use less fuel doing so.
Where the PT probably comes in is being able to tackle the more extreme stuff without stalling and keeps on going even when the revs drop considerably a lot of the time, as though it's about to stall.
Not to mention bang for your buck over a much harder to find or much more expensive Honda.
I spoke to a handyman from NZ who does mowing as well and he remembers the early 70s Victa two stroke his family had. He said it had plenty of go.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
