The Etesia's are the best at collecting in the wet. The plastic grass box helps this as it doesn't clog like the fabric bags. The Duo cut also has removable dampers/filters in the grass box which you can remove to aid airflow when the grass is wet. The build quality of the Etesia far exceeds that of the Viking mowers. We started with a secondhand 2007 pro46 form ebay for £300 quid just to see what they were like a couple of years ago and its still working fine.We now have a Duocut and a Bahia as well! I have tried the Viking mowers but they just weren't strong enough although the collection was good when it was working.We also tried Toro but the bag clogged up so they weren't as good either. When i say the bag clogs its the pores in the bag which get blocked when its wet which reduces the airflow and prevents the bag filling to full capacity.We use Honda roller mowers in the dry though.
Hope that helps

To be fair to viking only the 7 series and I think the biggest MB4 mulcher are 'commercial' mowers the rest are semi-commercial to residential mowers.
Does anyone have any experience of the Kohler courage engines?
