    That's the same price I was quoted down here. Are they doing any deals on M1's ? What about a Rover?

    When you hit 30 brother you gave up the hustle I take it.. I service my own equipment so when I rock up at the mower store they know I want parts or a sweet deal...you should get 100-150 off trust me and you get contrator rates ....
    But if you aint ''STIHL'' you aint real....

    I picked up a Masport catalogue at one of my local mower shops yesterday. Hadn't really considered Masport before but the contractor model 800AL SPV looks okay especially if you get it with the optional B&S 850 190cc engine. Don't know a price at this point though.

    Here's a link to show but this one has the standard Honda 160 motor.

    I just paid $1365 for a m2 in Melbourne. Just asked for best price and they came back with that over the phone no haggling required. Maybe you can ring around and use that figure as a guide?

    don't know if this is any help http:///dl.hondampe.com.au/NearestDe...ent=GRDN&d=P/E it's a list of dealers from the honda website
    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
