Frog you are just up the road from me, I'm in Hampton Park. Any of these 2 stroke Victas are the dux nuts, people have forgotten just what turned grass into lawn in Aus all those years ago. Since then they have been conned into believing four stroke is better. For mowing a block of land think about a 24 with a 2 stroke on it, you will be amazed at how well they handle that sort of work. The utilities are good but for jungle work the 24 is brilliant. I have truckloads of 2 stroke stuff here so we can keep your mowers going till your son is an old man lol
