Tim Bucknall replied to Kevin Bradnick's discussion Toro or Stihl Scarifier

Neil Darby replied to Rob's discussion Mowers mowers mowers

"Never ever buy a Weibang. I had a Legacy 48 pro BBC, it needed a new gearbox after a couple of months. Used it for a couple of years but far too heavy. The gearbox was on the way out again so I dumped it."
