I remember riding on the tram with him, fingers wrapped in a hanky, going to Princess Alexandra Hospital for stitches.


I have a Husqvarna 22hp mower with a 46" cut - much more sophisticated than walking.
Big fan of Husky's.. I love mine but I'd also love a brand new Victa lawn mower again . My Husky is about 5 years old now . Hasn't missed a beat , one battery only so far . A 22 would have some real grunt .. They're well made ..So are these Victa's

No idea what Victa it was, but mum bought it in 1978 and after a hard life it died in 2012. It was yellow and green and mowed the toughest grass you could throw at it. And boy was it loud.

The 2246 mows with ease. The only thing I did was swap the solid blades for swingbacks.
The cruise control makes me really lazy!
