What are people's thoughts on the Victa MSV567 Mulchmaster 560? Is the self propelled mechanism up to the job?

A customer has an elderly Honda push mower that is proving extremely hard to start and wants to replace it with a self propelled 4 stroke Victa.

They mow large areas of grass in an attempt to make it look like lawn, and don't use the catcher on the current mower. The guard is wired up to prevent the grass blocking. Not ideal from an OH&S point of view!

They love the thought of the electric start on the Victa Ultimate, but they would still need to wire up the rear guard to prevent it blocking whilst cutting their heavy grass. They don't want to use a catcher, and prefer a side throw.

It would seem that the Victa 560 is the only self propelled Victa that will suit their requirements.
