I was walking through one of the quadrangles in the University of NSW early yesterday morning when I saw a young fellow using a Toro ride on with two sets of reel blades side by side. Watching the green masses of finely cut clippings swirling around the blades and the resulting extra flat plain of lawn left behind made me understand how you could get the bug. It was a pleasure to watch.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
