Hi Someguy,
Yes thats the same guy I messaged on eBay.
I'm not sure if it will work as well as a dedicated side throw but it definitely has a better drive system than Victa from what I've heard. I haven't seen either in person so I'm going on other peoples reports. The Mulchmaster appears to be very similar to the great Pro 550 and are locally available, which is a big plus. (Interestingly, the Powertorque powered version is still on Victa's website - I thought they would be long gone by now.)
The customer who is wanting to replace their modified Honda catcher mower with a new self propelled side throw are in their late 70's so mixing fuel for a 2 stroke could prove to be a step backwards in terms of ease of use and being able to actually see how much oil they are putting in!
It also has to be fairly strong as they mow bluestone rocks that they forget are hidden under the lawn occasionally!
I actually have their AMC here waiting for a new cutter disc as the blade bolts are falling through the disc its that worn!
They also want to replace the AMC when it dies but I'm not sure what to recommend as they like the tight turning circle that a Greenfield or Cox just won't do and any other ride-on would have its deck destroyed in under a week.
