So what made the diplomat a failure
- nylon gear drive
- can be difficult to setup reel& bedknife (once you loosen the reel is hard to centre it yourself) a mower bloke said I won't be able to do it myself! Just got to fiddle around with it for a while.
I don't see the rear catcher as much of a real problem yes they maybe difficult to find replacement but its not like it drives in reverse to bump into anything.
How wide is the 590's reel?? Mower man said the diplomats popular in WA.. he also said he sells at least three roller caps a week
