This morning at work I asked him if he wanted a hand again as both of us have to take the rest of the week off using RDO's . He told me he was sourcing a new Victa self propelled that Bunnings didn't have in stock but will again in a few days . Main reason he's buying it is because it has electric start and his missus wants that feature so she can use it too .
He asked me what I thought of that . I couldn't tell him because I have total experience that you could fit on a postage stamp with both self propelled and electric start other than ride ons of course . Cost quoted was $879 I think.
Generally what do you chaps think of both these features these days especially using this technology ...

Does come with a 5 year warranty though and after all... It is a Victa ..

Most likely this one.

Both are good machines, especially the one with the alloy base in the second link. I would prefer the second one, that alloy base is extremely sturdy.
I know it sounds corny, but these Victa's are more suited to Australian cutting conditions/expectations than the American style mowers, especially half chute Honda's and Toro's.
