That Rover has been exceptional over the 6 years I have had it. It packs the catcher solid, wet or dry. I usually replace mowers every 12 - 18 months but this thing has been so good that I struggle to find a reason to move it on.

The trouble is, the engine is starting to use a bit of oil now, not visible from the exhaust but I can smell it. Rover no longer make this deck design so I am pondering whether to replace the engine or take a plunge on the new Rover ProCut. https://www.rover.com.au/lawn-mowers...ke-clutch.html

Or maybe the Bushranger 800 SP https://bushrangerpe.com.au/browse-p...er-pu53ah6imsp. These were actually branded as a Victa about 10 years ago.

Trouble is, both of these models sacrifise a portion of the discharge chute to house the gearbox, compromising the catching efficiency that I love about my current Rover.

Open to suggestions or advise.
