  I run a Westwood V20/50 (biggest they do I think). Collects in the wet due to the rotating brush. Cut width of 51inches and a roller for stripes, It receives £250 on it in maintenance per year. Briggs engine. Engine is actually faultless. Issues have generally been with the electronics and principally those concerned with the safety features so I have bypassed them. Any other issues are general wear and tear. 

  Yes its done me well and I'd probably replace with another one but its not so good that I wouldn't look at other brands aswell

  I've recently purchased a Kubota GR2120. The cut on this mower is fantastic, collects in both wet & dry. (3 blades) and just at the upper limits of your budget. I can also cut all day on a full tank of diesel with plenty left over. Ive had a few teething problems but over all very satisfied.

  Are Countax's commercial grade? I thought they were all domestic.

  Some of the John deere's look interesting and within budget. The technology looks great. I have a meeting with a dealer next week to go over the options.

  thanks for the replies guys

  So the turfmaster is not the answer to all our prayers then.

    Currious - what was causing them to let you down? We weather performance? Mulching?

      Cannot pack a grass box
      Cut to high
      Under powered
      Side discharge shute clogs
      
      List goes on

        Strange as we don't have much of an issue with ours.
        
        Sometimes really long grass clogs the side chute. We generally get 3/4 bag in the wet.
        
        We happily mulch 4 inch grass down to 50mm. We only use 38mm where we know the ground is flat so we don't scalp the grass.
        
        Other than the belts and keeping the blades sharp we love it.
