My old Iseki SG15 has done sterling service over 16 years, but is now
approaching the stage where further expense on it is probably uneconomic. I
need something DIESEL, minimum 48 inch cut, MUST collect the cuttings and
work well on damp grass, without the chute getting blocked up all the time.
The Iseki used a big, powerful engine driven fan to suck the grass from the
cutting deck and blow it up into the collector, and works well. I suspect I
will be limited to Japanese or Italian machines. I want a low hours used
machine, not a brand new one, what makes are out there these days that can
be recommended please? It needen't raise the cutting box, I drop cuttings
in woodland, so don't need to lift into a trailer or compost heap. My
maximum budget is 4000 UK pounds. Thanks.
