Hi All,

Well this is a rather interesting mower and throws up a whole bunch of questions as to how the name "Scott Bonnar" has come about being on a relatively new mower.

Has Rover finally done the unthinkable and sold off the naming rights to a Chinese manufacturer or has the registration of the name expired, thus again some Asian manufacturer has poached the name while it was not copyrighted ????

MTD owned Rover for a while but I'm under the impression that MTD no longer own Rover any more. I stand corrected on that matter as there is no mention of Rover on MTD's website, but I have been told by an Adelaide based Mower shop that MTD still are the supplier of Rover parts to the industry, so from that I'm somewhat confused.

Regardless of all that it's sad that the name "Scott Bonnar" has come to this and to make matters worse they couldn't even capitalise the letter "B" in Bonnar.

Disgraceful................................

Cheers
BB

******UPDATE

This mower in question was in fact made by Rover in China using the SB name, and MTD still own Rover. If one wants Rover parts you have to go to the Rover site as MTD are a brand of their own sporting the MTD logo on their own products.
