We have just ordered a Wessex one. Has a 23hp engine I think and what we liked was that you can swing the wheels around to be either side or rear mounted with no tools. Built in the uk

Wessex is excellent stuff. Their whole range of grass machinery is top quality

Why, do you have experience of MDL ?

It appears their kit has a 3 year guarantee ?

A lot of it is real bargain basement chinesium.

It looks like MDL are a credible Company, and with a 3 year guarantee it should be OK.

Most of what we use these days is partially or made in China, or parts are. What's the issue ?

Go have a look at the flail mowers and chippers and decide yourself

Posh neighbour has one of those. Managed about 10 acres before it fell apart. Looking like it didn’t really cut much either, so much as pushing it over. I’d say it’s over priced at half that.

Why don’t you put a proper engine on like Kawasaki or Honda? As soon as you see briggs vanguard You immediately think it’s a hobby machine

Hi Dave, the Vanguard is a commercial spec and is the most common engine used on this sort of machine

I have a 300cc quad would it pull one or do you need something like 500cc?

We recently purchased an MDL 120 atv mower. cheap inexpensive for the job its required to do, a couple of things though, no emergency stop button fitted or remote engine control easy to do though, the steelwork is quite decent as for the bearings they are greaseable I have changed out the grease for a known non chinese grease ! it has 3 drive belts they are available from our local drive train supplier, the centrifugal clutch was very noisy when engaging at first but seems to have settled down.
It is fitted with a 420cc Loncin petrol engine , this was the decider for Me I have other equipment using this engine and with proper maintenance they have proven proved to be reliable. The bonus with this engine is that its a Honda clone and will accept honda parts,
point in question due to "operator error"* the exhaust clipped a tree and snapped the cast exhaust pie to silencer. I was quoted a price from the supplier, but was able to purchase a replacement for less than a quarter of the price and quoting the honda part number.
A couple of jobs to be done , until warranty expires , protection for the exhaust after that I would consider moving the engine to the centreline to improve balance , its a bit side heavy and noticeable on slopes, simple enough.
In use it performs reasonably well once set up and if you keep the speed down.
