  Hi Andrew, I'm thinking of getting this one - Viking mulcher - my nearest reliable dealer sells it for £528

    Pete, the Vikings crap. If you want something similar get a Husky.

  What sort of prices did you pay for your Toro's gents, new or second hand. I have a large block, my first direct commercial customer and its a lot of grass that I remove, would like to mulch when I get it looking nice and short. It really needs a sit on but a good iseiki I'm not really ready for just yet and it's the storage and transfer problem as it wouldn't fit on my trailer, but would cut a 5 hr Lawn job to 1hr! Im hoping a good mulched will cut it to 3-4 hrs
  
  Regards

  Ive just bought two turfmasters. I only have one at the moment as the supplier doesent get the other turfmaster till mid april, so ive got a timemaster on loan till the other turfmaster arrives.

  So ive got both to play with. I havent cut any grass yet but i can tell the timemaster wouldnt last any time with us using it on a commercial basis, its all too plastic and flimsy, and i dont see the drive system lasting long. turfmaster is solid in all parts and weighs a hell of a lot more! heavy to lifting it on to the back of a transit tipper.

  Ill give an update when i get a chance to cut with them

  Toro turfmaster. Couple of previous threads on the subject. I have done a couple of good reviews on it also! Timemaster - plasticky. Turfmaster - metal
  
  I use a small set of ramps for loading

  Might be woth a look on the etesia site,just updated to all the new duo cut machines which cut and collect like you would exspect from an etesia but also with mulch plug in become a fine mulch machine

  I've had a local dealer recommend a top of the range Stiga Pro, I know the local councils use them, so they must be good units...any experience of them

    I've got one.  It's way too slow and you can't speed up the gcv engine enough without it hunting like crazy. Had to fit a cut down Oregon scalper blade  to get it to cut short enough.

    It just sits unloved at the back of a shipping container now.
