Talking to my grandfather part of the problem with the greenfield pushies was cost, They only sold maybe 5 over 10 years out here. Between Honda, Masport, Rover, Victa and all the others they didn't really stand a chance. The alloy deck was very nice, but then putting a dirty old Briggs only on them probably steered people in the market for a higher end mower to Honda. Now having one here they definitely are a well made unit though
