Can't say it would be the same for the model you mention but likely.
No idea about viking. Has it got a commercial warranty?
looked at viking just did not like the look told they are part of sthil range
Tried to visualize doing this hundreds of times as grass grows like hell here and thought noo
Maybe,like anything else,fear of change i suppose.
As for looks they are a bit scary .....but then again Vikings raped and pillaged up here centuries ago....looked scary then too ha ha

What type of work would you be using them for commercial or domestic
We tried both a couple of years ago
The Viking was great on the small lawns but could not manage tall grass it kept clogging and cutting out. The lads hated using it and it took us nearly twice as long as larger mowers would. With the plastic body I don't think it would have lasted a month. Yet it was on the small well cared for lawns that it worked well on.
The John deer was great on the larger lawns yet to heavy and cumbersome to use round the more intricate areas.
Both were used in dry conditions and we had them for only a day so can't comment on reliability issues.
My pro56 does this easily, but is in a different category as it's not a roller mower I guess.

Last time I used it for this type of work the grass was 24-28 inches long. It's a beast.
