I have over 10 working Powertorque mowers in m collection, non of which I have had to buy, yet I want to get a nice brand new one while the opportunity exists. They all perform well but just don't have that exciting new feel about them that I remember from my youth when pulling the string on new ones in the shops. They made this nice wee wee wee wee wha wha sound as the motor turned over (equivalent to a new car smell I suppose), and since I'm an enthusiast of these machines, maybe I of all people deserve the one chance to get my own brand new powertorque machine. My dad got a new FC 160cc one in 1977 and maybe I need to carry on the "tradition" from someone who will appreciate it more.
I was toying with the idea of enquiring over a utility rather than a catcher model, of which all mine are anyway. This would double as a chance to get a sidethrow model, which seem to command higher prices on the used market and are harder to find abandoned.
My decision won't hinge on opinions here, I just want to hear other's take on this.
