"We run a small fleet ofvEtesia Pro46's with both Honda and Kawasaki engines.
We prefer the Kawasaki engined variant as it has an "all day fuel tank" and a slightly more powerful engine (6hp vs 5.5hp). The only trade off is that it is slightly heavie…"

"Thanks for the clarification"

"We use hired turf cutters regularly and couldn't imagine lifting old turf any other way before re-turfing, it's certainly a real time saver - no reliability issues for us, but as has been said just don't set the blade too deep, you can always run ov…"

"Agreed - the Hayter and Weibang have a ratchet freewheel inside the roller allowing them the tow halves to rotate (or counter rotate) independently. The KAAZ and variants don't due to the way the roller drives from the middle not allowing it to have…"

"Thanks Dan"

"Oh ok, I'm happy to be wrong but I didn't think they did, not in the same way as weibang Legacy and hayter harriers anyway? "

"They do. My Kaaz 21s were split. I've gone away from them though as the drives were awful for durability."
