Hi Converse,
its been a while since I've watched that and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to review it. I have gained more appreciation of the later Victa range since I last saw that video and have since been on here and learnt of the two stroke's demise.
That design reinforced how good the Victa two stroke looks compared the four stroke engines on the same base. The four looks like a lump of machinery plonked onto the base with little thought for integration for the whole mower's appearance, whereas the powertorque blends in so well and completes the whole look of the machine perfectly. Four strokes have been making inroads on this lately though.


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