I used to run two of them very expensive for parts double the price of John Deere parts and triple the price of Malone parts so I run 3 Malone mowers now and haven’t really needed much parts. But maybe it’s just here in Ireland they rob us for parts!!

Bar the dear parts how would you rate them for strength and noise level behind the tractor and reliability and cutting standard

I’d say I wouldn’t go back to them again to be honest I’d try krone or kvernland if I was to change from Malone but I can’t see that happening any time soon. They weren’t the nicest mower to operate and we always had small bits going wrong with them. If it’s only for your own use and you can buy it reasonably it would probably be ok as we have very stoney ground here so that doesn’t help

Got a 2009 310t here. Bought from first owner in 2016. So far so good is my verdict. Well built and does a good job. Only replaced oils,blades and belts with one bearing for the conditioner replaced before we used it,sensible money from local bearing supplier. Paint is starting to peel unfortunately,even with it living undercover.
I would happily replace it like for like when the time comes.
No louder than neighbours claas disco in work.
