    We ended up getting about 85mm up to Tuesday night. 41 mm so far this weekend and it's pouring at the moment. Grass is going to go nuts as soon as it warms up a bit.

Wet days are bad for me went to the mower shop looking at a 20 inch cylinder mower, ryan ren o thin and new husquvarna whippy they look really good, think I might need a loan for these new toys

    I have an old working Greens mower, I think they're ok on nice couch lawns but I got it as a retro thing, cuts nice but its for sale, just love the old noisy 2 stroke wake up the neighbours sound, like a Harley Davidson from the 60's...lol.

    Wish the dealers here carried some good gear like that. Can't even get a commercial mower through the Rover dealer here at present. They won't stock the 560s with the 910 motor and now they're having trouble getting the 850s they were getting to build their own 560s.

    Cheers for the heads up. Will have to go back and check. Last time I was there I'm sure they only had the TPD Hondas and Troybuilt rubbish.

    Just had a look at the masters website, and it only lists one Rover. Strange,...as all the local stores around here stock all Rover Models including the Pro cuts, and also the "Thorougbred" which is a black coloured pro cut.

    I was looking at the masport, but feel that a reconditioned 20 inch scott bonnar maybe better. The masport doesn't look as well made. Might have to wait a bit my little boy badly broke his leg yesterday and is in hospital had surgery but will be ok 8 weeks in a wheel chair is not going to be much fun

    Hope he gets well soon mate. Nothing worse than being incapacitated during Xmas Hollidays.
    The massport look very residential. Don't think I'd bother. Mabey a small alroh or what I would buy next is one of these...

    Damn it I've had too many beers to drive. It is so still outside the water would be like glass at the moment. Would love to go wet a fishing line at my local spot.

    Sorry for your young one Mark. My son has just had his cast taken off this week but he is a fair bit older and it was his own stupid fault. Hard to see your young ones in pain and discomfort.
