Finally managed to mow a lawn that had been neglected due to Covid lockdown. This was its first mow since August 15th.
With grass standing up to 25cm high, I did not muck around here! The only mower for this job was the Victa Mustang 2-Stroke.
There was a lot of cape weed and clover mixed into all this, a challenge for even the strongest mowers due to the sticky high moisture content. The Mustang smashed through all this. The VEX version of this engine has a rated 6.0 hp and when it hits taller growth it accelerates hard and never bogs or stalls. It also makes a LOT of noise doing so! I wonder if the neighbor across the road was amused with me grinning like a fool.
The predecessor to the VEX was the VSX. The change from S to E was supposed to be for efficiency, however this is still by far the thirstiest mower I own.
