Geabox does not really matter. All the other gears work. The old boy is a bit anal with mowing stuff, i doubt it will ever see grass thick enough to use 2nd gear.
Hes got the HRU196. Thats for round the house.
Hes got 3 Big bobs for the rest of the yard.
He wants a slasher for the stuff thats too hard for the big bob, hence the Deutscher.

The ride on will get an easy life.


My bodgy built PowerTorque Mustang did every kind of job and lived in the elements. First job on the cards was grass over knee high. Poor thing did that at least 5 times.

Heck if a Bob cant mow it you need to go buy a Billy Goat.
