    No video but photo attached. Grass had not been mowed for 6 weeks. Grass Grub powered through it. With a smaller motor to do the same grass it would be quicker to discharge.6846

  7. Re: A big shout-out to Tony at A1 Mowers and his latest Grass Grub mower

    Price of a grass grub is approx $2000 NZ. That is for a Rolling chassis. The motor can be whatever brand is your preference. So final cost is dictated by motor choice.

    Happy mowing

    Re: Grillo Climber anyone had a play

    Great fun to drive. They are built as a steep area mower. For areas where you cannot get a tractor they are ideal. You feel like you are driving a go-kart.
