A few of the european ride on mower brands are building rear discharge / mulch decks.
Rear discharge is good but if you are using it on a front mount then the dust is goint to be going under the...
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
An update on the grass grub mower. My original motor finally came to the end of its life. So a replacement motor was called for. Since we already had a low hour 8hp motor in the workshop it has been...
The walker double swing back blades are good for mulching. I have been using these blades for a number of years now. They both pivot off the same bolt one above and one below the blade carrier. The...
If your Walker MB has double swing back blades yes you can mulch with them. The upper blade being flat acts to double cut the clippings and helps prevent grass buildup under the deck. The advantage...
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

Grass Grub has gone from being a mower brand with each mower bespoke built to now having more of a production setup in the building. This has resulted in less waiting time for a new Grub. The good...
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.
Happy mowing

I agree that the Grub 700 still needs some development. Personally in trying it I never ran into the stalling issues but found that the grub 550 did mulch better. The stalling issue would be resolved...
Re the grass grub. The grass grub 550 is a 22" mower, single blade with the Lifan motor. The power is not an issue. If you are worried about the Lifan motor there ar different motor options now...

Mulching performance is brilliant. Drive is bulletproof.
Victa 560 has drive gearbox made out of plastic! Its in reality a high end domestic mower, not a contractors mower.
Happy...
Re Lifan starter eylet:
Ian thanks for the tip. The problem that local mower shop pointed out was that Lifan starter top has the eyelet molded into the plastic top.
Have heard from a couple of...
I have had my Grub just over 2 1/2 yrs. I have the Lifan engine. The engine has run really well with routine servicing. Needed to replace the starter after 2 yrs due to the eyelet wearing & cutting...
Grass grub with catcher currently not being made with no plans to produce it. Here in NZ catcher mowers are plentiful & mainly sell on price. So not coincided viable to introduce another. The mulch...
Wright Standers only cut down to 1.5". Its not a problem unless you want your lawn as short as a bowling green. A slightly longer cut is better in preventing weed infestation & the grass takes longer...
Grass Grubs are designed as a finishing mower. In wet or long grass conditions ensure the deck is scraped clean. A broad-knife is good & with no bumps under the deck its quick & easy. Sharp blades...
Hi Mick
The grass grub has a ratcheting drive assembly fitted inside the rear wheel hub. Their is slight resistance pulling backwards but its not excessive & you get used to it really quickly. All...
Trimax Falildeks are a finishing type flail mower. Wonderful for mowing rougher lawn areas. Since all the flails can swing they survive quite well. They can break but can be replaced easily. Replace...

In building the victa 560 the blades were changed to a higher lift type. They do not mulch as well as the 550. As for the gearbox it is PLASTIC and contains a metal gear running against a steel gear....
The mowing speed is governed by how many clippings the deck can handle along with how quickly they can be discharged. So an ideal deck for lush grass would be as deep as possible & if side discharge...
True! With the currant rate of grass growth lawns could be mown weekly
The plastic pulley is at the gearbox only. It can expand & contract thus appearing larger or smaller with the corresponding change of gear ratio. The pulley has a spring to tension the system. Its on...
Sounds like the problem is a fault with the variable speed pulleys. Being plastic they are really too light duty for the weight of the mower. Does your 550 have the v-belt from motor to gearbox going...
