Perhaps Merv Richardson's dislike of cylinder mowers extended to catchers as well
Hi
TylerI've thought about this and I can't see that at all.
I feel Victa took a logical - but conservative - approach to its catcher mowers.
As Victa succumbed to blind Freddy (skirted bases) it had to also succumb
to single point lever height adjusters (rather than rotary knob jobs) by 1960.
Victa finally succumbed to the blade issue too. One type of blade would do very nicely
for cutting, throwing and catching.
Step back a couple of hundred years:[I find it amusing when I see those romantic images of the scythe-men cutting
grass with their scythe - because there was another reality - the following bag women
that would bag the grasses so ma lord could present his estate.
Victa were that conservative!
But they were brilliantly conservative.
