  Hi Paul, are you using the masport commercially. ie every day? does the build stand up?

  Just go for the new Masport, brilliant machine. Don't waste time with Hayter, as good as they are in the dry - they wont work in the wet.

  I'd be interested to hear review of masport machines too as our local equipment supplier is dealing fairly heavily in them now.

  I was looking at the new hayer pro in my local dealer last week and looked underneath. The casing where the blades go round is still PLASTIC. I think im right in suggesting that the underneath of a mower shouldnt be plastic!!! And a "professional mower should have no plastic it on it at all"
  I said this to the dealer and he agreed with me and they were not kean on them either.
  However he did say that they have replaced some of the old washers, nuts, belts etc with new stronger ones. So in that respect they have improved, but id still avoid as they havnt improved that much.
