I'm with you all the way there Tyler, my missus has brought home 2 PT's complete with catchers off the kerbside in the last week. Then today she asked me if I went and looked at the mower just around the corner she told me about . I said I did see it but saw it was a Chonda so I didn't stop.
gml your $500 Chonda will be fine, the ones I have fitted to a couple of rideons haven't missed a beat
