Don't do it. Nasty gutless boat anchors. Even wound up to 3600 rpm they struggle. Many better options ie Briggs 850 ic, Kawasaki KAI or even Hondas own gsv190.

One only Rover procut 560 for sale. New (unused). Bought in the box as a spare but not required as I have pulled the pin after many years in the game. Assembled over the Christmas break; fuelled,...
Hi Hjl. Have been using both a Mulchmaster (GSV 190 Honda powered) and a Big Bob for side discharge over many years. Both are great at what they do but they go about it in very different ways. Big...
Double check with your dealer as to availability. Most recent info suggested that Briggs 850 and Honda have been discontinued and replaced with Vanguard.
A great workhorse but not too light on its...
Bump. So nobody has any experience with the new range of Kubota 2 stroke whippys?
Cheers
The poor old thing uses almost as much oil as it does fuel. In the space of barely a year, it has managed to amass quite an inventory of Honda HRX specific parts. Besides the normal service items,...
Some time ago, I picked up an HRX from a customer who had only used it a handful of times. Pleased that I did not have to pay anywhere full noise for the "pleasure" of owning this one. As troppo...
Hi Lads.
Just curious as to whether anyone is using either of the 2 stroke whippy's from Kubota?
Any good? Problems? Opinions?
Cheers
Hi Red. I am afraid that these "New" Tanakas are just Chinese built rubbish. As mentioned elsewhere on the Forum, the last of the "old school" Japanese built Tanakas (ie TBC 290, 340 etc are about to...
Hi Lads.
As for the Kubota whippys, they are rebranded Kazz machines using the well proven Mitsu. range of engines. Can't see a made in Japan sticker anywhere so assume china.
Cheers
For those of you who wish to purchase a Tanaka product which was still "Made in Japan", get your skates on.
The last shipment of TBC 290s, 340s etc (which are the last of the old school Tanakas) is...
8 kilograms!!!! You must be joking.
If you are after a cheapie, try the Kubota 2 stroke at 5.2 kg and $360. Mitsubishi 26cc and made by Kazz. Tough as nails and commercial quality.
Hi all.
Just curious if anyone is using one of the new Victa Corvette commercial machines?
If so, how about a review!
cheers

I suggest that you speak with a rep. from Parklands, Both the tbc 270s and its split shaft cousin are gone. I have had a chance to view the "replacement" ; pitiful Jed, just pitiful.
These models...
Tanaka's move to china is beginning to be felt in their product range and quality. Gone is the TBC 230s and now I find that the brilliant TBC 270s is discontinued; replaced by an obviously inferior...
Sorry guys.
Figure quoted in ad is $20,900 not $21,990
20k NEW Hilux (as a write off) is there for the taking.
Cheers
Local Toyota dealer has brand new Hilux Workmates (2.7 manuals in white) for advertised price of $21,990 drive away with air and tray. In speaking with him, I got the impression that 20k might be...
Hi Redeye.
McCarthur Mowers and Marine in Camden had a Demo 36" Pro Stance in last week.
Cheers
Hey jal.
Just curious as to how well the Scag catches?
Being an American machine, do you find the minimum cut height still not short enough?
Being a heavy machine, is it rutting and leaving...
I am with Redeye. The 850 is an absolute gem (with which you will NOT be disappointed).
Hi All.
Seems that a lot of our Brethren are adopting ZTR's and now standers as the new order in mowing.
For a long time, Aussie lawnies have shunned the American style mower with its bar blades,...
Hi All.
Looking to replace a couple of very well used Kawasaki HE130 edgers that have had the Grandfathers axe treatment.
Any suggestions as to a viable (new) replacement for what has been the...
Appears to be a remake of the Kabota W5021 that was available for a short period during the 90's. A Mighty mower indeed. For those of you contemplating the purchase of a Honda 216, do yourselves a...
Hi All. Not a day goes by that I don't read a post from someone seeking help re. a broken mower or complaining about the high maintenance costs of keeping an older machine mobile. WHY! Any...
Stihl BG86. Most grunt for a hand held and low vibration .
