I hope we will go back to making some things, but never back to how we were
MF - how could they lower the horsepower - they barely pull the skin of custard as it is. The new basic 'series 300' has 3 ftlb torque. Bearing in mind the last of the 3.5hp flat heads was branded 450 (4.5ftlb) those new little ones can't hardly be a ball of fire. 3.5hp is sufficient to run a catcher mower over a average suburban lawn with minimal fuss.
If you equate (it doesn't work like this, but anyway) if 4.5ftlb = 3.5hp, then 3ftlb = 2.3hp.
I haven't yet had the displeasure of piloting one of these over thick grass - wouldn't be fun I am guessing
I agree with the just check and add system - planned failure
