They had the first poly catcher too!

Victa did catch up - with the superb VCs of 1970.
But Turner was first!!!
I almost didn't bother to look at this topic, but glad I checked it out. I haven't just learnt about another innovtive Australian mower maker, but found out who was first to introduce features that cascaded to all mower makers. I have gained a respect for this lesser known manufacturer.
Turner brought us the high arch, Victa's VC popularised and expanded on it.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
