Mesh catcher is great, it fills well from all the air flow and I miss the blade brake but beggars can’t be choosers.
The guy at the mower shop tried to sway me toward the Honda equivalent “as the gearbox will go first on the bushmaster compared to the Honda in our experience”. He also made the point at how solid the bushmaster is and that supply of them continued during covid when the Hondas were unobtainium.
Anyways I can’t wait for next week to do my big buffalo lawn and stretch her legs.
The mesh/fabric catchers easier to empty as well.

As for the gearbox, it's not as if the Honda box is without sin.

Look forward to hearing further thoughts.
