    i went to a shop in castle hill on the weekend (rover dealer) they say that they are to be supplied with chinese motor in future.
    They buy these rip off the motor and blade brake, then sell them with a b&s850 on them (for contractors) for 1300

    a question

    if they are taking the blade brake off, and your offsider sticks his hand in there and gets it cut off, is it YOU or the mower shop guy that will end up sharing bubbas cell?

    thats why i bought mine when my honda was still going strong, so it DIDNT have a blade or engine brake from the manufacturer

    i'd be a tad careful . . . (even tho im being a safety moron, you gotta see the point?)

    The one I saw in the shop must be old stock then I think it's an awesome combo though, imoww if I were u I'd grab it before we get all the copied Briggs on them.

    I don't see why people dislike the blade brake. I think its better than the engine brake, at least you can still drive it across paths etc. safely.

    i would assume the blade brake would be part of the original engine and not fitted to the briggs 850 so there would be no way to leave it on
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I would not think about the engine brake, because it is not illegal to change an engine on a mower, and its not currently illegal to have a mower without a blade brake in Australia as far as I know.

    the mower shop is selling the mower "new" so i assume it is the mower shops responsibility.
    You seem to have a fixation with bubba.. Something you want to tell us :-)

    ASSUME dave

    what if the INVOICE showed mower WITH blade brake; blade brake removed per contractors request.

    i PRESUME they dont do it to ALL machines they get, and just do it to suit YOUR order.

    so who is RESPONSIBLE?


    you'll see what bubba says
