    It would be nice wouldn't it! Don't know how you'd go about connecting the driveshaft though if it did.

    If anyone needs a good quality, small sprayer these 5 ltr Solo units seem like pretty good value, considering the cheap ones like Hills etc are over $30.

    Just did a bit more digging to make sure of the price. A few retailers around the place have them from $49 up to $65 so considering postage is free it's not too bad.

    thought this was interesting looking at the feed back score/rating seems genuine as he stresses this not for the ride-on http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Deutscher...item35b91af644
    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

    Hey Greenie
    See you looking at a supabob
    I have one, and its great for resi jobs. It handles just about anything I throw at it, but you will have to cut on hightest setting etc and work your way down, like any other method. The poly deck and shoot really throw the grass out, but if you try to go too fast through thick stuff, the deck chokes up. Its easy to think you can just plow though anything with it, but you also need to think about the volume of grass trying to escape that small shoot. The 6 hp has its limitations if you go too fast.
    I love it for the new estates with very long nature strips etc, just makes a mess lol. The pace on the SP can be controlled with the clutch like the Rover mowers. I would not attempt a large vacant block with 4 foot high thick stuff or anything. Thats the Deutchers domain with a bigger donk.
    I have found my supa bob a great little machine, and just the right size and weight. I can lift it on the trailer myself, although its heavy enough. No hope doing that with the Deutscher.
    I only paid 350 for mine of ebay, it was an ex farm machine. I dont like the intek engine. Takes about 2-3 pulls to start. Much prefer the 850 briggs engine. Very easy to start and purrs like a kitten. Intek is a little noisy in comparison.
    When you use it, just remember to cut grass on the non shoot side, so you are not running over stuff already cut on the last pass, as it will choke up the deck, and take you twice as long. Cheers.
    PS ,your inbox is full.
    I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather.....not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car!!!
