Well I was so impressed with Jack's new acquisition when a good friend of mine was thinking of buying a "New Mower" to replace his old Victa Sabre. It is one of those things he wanted to do before he dies as he puts it.
Now he's been looking at all the different mowers that are out there on the market and was nearly about to buy a Honda when I suggested that he has a good look at the Greenfield range. Greenfield he shouted ????? who the F*%k are they ?, well that's the issue that Greenfield have, no credibility nor reputation in the push mower market and this is mainly due to some of their high profile retailers not doing the right thing
This morning David went down to Adelaide's Premier Mower outlet to order a Greenfield after my very strong recommendation and what do you think happened ? you guessed it, they tried to convince him to buy a shitbox Victa from them. He left with Victa Brochure book in hand and rang me to tell me what they suggested and I felt like ringing Greenfield's in Queensland and ratting on that Adelaide Retailer as they are a Greenfield Ride On outlet.
Instead I rang a regional outlet that are on Greenfield's Dealer Locator Map which was "Strathalbyn Small Engines" and spoke to the owner there, Barry. I started talking to him and he straight away said, you seem to know all about these machines, did I want a job selling them ? I'd love to but I'm not looking for work.
Well Barry keeps quite a number of Greenfield's in stock at any one time and as the "Longreach" is in short supply due to engine availability at the moment he suggested the Vanguard with the Poly Catcher at $869 which is a bargain at that price as they are generally an extra $100 with the Vanguard engine and Snorkel air cleaner.
We both jumped into my trusty Hilux and went for a drive in the country and simply put it, we bought one.
Needless to say the new owner (pictured below) is absolutely stoked with his new purchase.
I hope he treats it well tonight LOL.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
