Hi all
I've been happily using dad's hand me down 50th anniversary Victa 2 stroke for years, quad blade does a good job and when it's time to scalp the Buffalo early spring it doesn't exactly lack grunt ! I suppose its the mixing of fuel, or getting it wrong, the cost of 2 stroke oil, a bit of smell etc all ads up to too much hassle for a lot of people these days. I think the 2 strokes are being phased out due to not complying with new emission standards also. Victa did a limited final production run of the 2 strokes which looked pretty much the same as the model I have been using and in some of their classic chassis colours. I'm still seeing a few for sale in the mower shops and at about $540, is a pretty fair investment for something, if looked after, would last an awful long time.
Cheers
