You get what you pay for lol :aus-flag:2 bob mower

the only engine is a honda on a commercial basis and for that matter if general householders bought the overhead valve honda motor mower they would never have to buy another mower in there life time

but lets not tell them that eh :russ:

Un-reliability!!! Mobbster.

I had a quick look at one in a mower shop recently and from afar they catch your eye, a Richmond supporters anyway, but up close they are quite nasty.
I could not make out the make of engine but it would be the cheapest of the cheap.

I would only get three months out of a Briggs and Stratton industrial/commercial engine ( would'nt pee-pee on them if they were on fire), so I'm guessing maybe four weeks out of a Talon.
The self-drive system on theTalon would give out well before that.

The only mowers I've found that have any reliability are the top range Hondas and Victas.

It's OHV on good grass and Powertorque on heavy work for me.

Besides the question of how reliable the engine is i think from the figures i saw on the talon it was about 40% heavyer than a honda of the same size. :frightene
