    My local shop told me the chonda come from the same factory as the originals.
    And he said theres no diference between them when he works on them.
    The gear box is better on the chondas also.....

    Also, if a Honda dealer sells or has a chonda in their shop, Honda will remove all Honda stock and cancel their contract

    ummm,

    buy it off evilbay = no warranty (suuuuure mail it back to us and we'll take a look at it . . . .)

    buy a chonda, no honda place will service it

    we're always talking about beer money bobs, and customers getting what they deserve when they use one ("he will mow my lawn TWICE for what YOU charge")

    $700 extra for genuine with 3 yr warranty . . . (which you make back in 4 days mowing . . .)

    is chonda the beer money bob of mowers ?

    or is it just that we pay to much for products in Australia ?
    Australia $2800

    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

    Not sure how u can say that, when both these mowers a basically the same thing minus a few bells and whistles. I bought a chonda, U dont have to buy it off Ebay ( I wouldnt ) I bought it from a mower shop and i got warranty. its nearly 12 months old, Not a problem so far!
    Im just saying that the cut is the same, U cant tell the difference, not everyone starting a lawn business can offord $1639 for 1 mower I got a 21" SP chonda and a 19" chonda pushie for $1400 Im laughing all the way i got a good deal on great mowers!! And 12months warranty!! tell me im a im a beer bob lawnie I love the job but i didnt have the luxry of lots of $$$ to start off.

    settle greenie,

    im NOT saying YOURE a bob if you buy a chonda.


    i wonder, though if customers say the same about beer money bobs

    "when both these mowers(contractors) a basically the same thing minus a few bells and whistles"

    "Im just saying that the cut (the job) is the same, U cant tell the difference"

    "not everyone (getting their lawn mowed) can offord $65"

    "and bob only charges me $35 not $65 !!!"


    see my point, lol?

    we always rail about beer money bobs undercutting us, alls im saying is from the mower shops point of view, chondas are the beer money bob of lawn mowers.

    we good ?
