So 3 months into owning this the rear roller drive mech inside the roller collapsed and failed. Dealer replaced same day for me but lost a days grass cutting as spare is stripped down waiting for parts.Anyone else had issues with the new range harrier pros?? I certainly wouldn't be expecting to replace the roller twice a year although I can pick them up for about £80 it's just hassle having to carry one!!Is there anything to avoid doing that is a culprit of causing the breakage??

    I have a 48 pro. gearbox went in 11 months, has had two services since and runs well now. Never had a roller problem. Avoid driving it on concrete or hard surfaces etc and try not to let too much wet grass get between roller and the metal bar.

    James. Out of interest can you confirm if it was the 2014 or 2013 model as a lot of the dealers were still trying to pump out their old stock from last year 3 or 4 months ago.
