Hi Max,
Yes I have picked up a number of 24's that were traded in to mower shops that were closing down and a couple of them have said that this year it has got even worse with one saying he has had customers who could not afford to have new blades fitted to their mower. He was saying that this year there were some days when not one person would come into his shop. He was going to try and operate from his home and do mobile repairs around his area in Gippsland
