Don't let the bloke that sold it to you see it. He might ask for more money!
Ordered mine today. Not as big as yours but all I could afford. Freight was an extra $277 as well.

Thanks guys, she will not look this clean for long because we start food plots for deer in march and it will get a work out then LOL.
Alien, that mower looks fantastic. Last time I checked AU to USD convertion was something like 0.75, is is still the same 1500.00 US shipped is a steal, nice! I happen to have several friends in AU on a different forum...I am still learning the AU lingo you blokes speak,

Yeah our dollar is worth nothing at present and the way the salesman spoke was "they are still that price at the moment" which leads me to believe there will be an adjustment again shortly.
Only 18 months ago things were great value, our dollar never looked better but the darn manipulators can't keep their hands off it.
I bought a US$29 item a couple of days ago and it cost me over Au$44 through Paypal and I needed 2 of them. That hurt. And they are talking about adding GST Tax on internet items as well by 15% as we don't pay GST on small internet stuff yet. Our $ is swinging around 71c US but not strong at all.
Never ends...
Hoochy, what other forum are you referring to? Wouldn't mind checking it out...

Sounds like a good time for us in the States to plan a once in a lifetime Australian vacation....

Thanks mate, I'll have a gecko at that. I used to make my own years ago. Bl**dy hot for a visit now. I fly Model aircraft and it is too hot in the day for that too.

Dave, with the Chinese manufacture bugging me I am wondering how the nuts and bolts, bearings and belts have held up on your 6 year old machine. The price is attractive if the quality will allow one to work with the machine instead of on it.
Thanks in advance for any comments, good or bad.

Well, managed to lose my detailed response
Still original belts, still in great shape.
Replaced the two rear roller bearings a couple years ago, only one went bad. No zerk for lube.
Last year replaced the bearing on shaft from gear box. My fault as I hadn't checked the lube in a while.
Main shaft bearings tight and true, couple shots of grease and broken hammers/blades replaced ASAP.
All originals bolts and nuts.
3rd set of blades. I used the first set of hammers as ground engaging to even out wild pig rooting.
Betsco has been great support. Reason I bought from them again.
