Hi Mf and Norm
what premium if any would a large tank get?
You would get the occasional person Mf that's looking for the larger tank but I don't think most people
would need the larger tank because if you had a lot to mow ,you would use a Victa 24 or a ride on/self drive mower.
I've never looked to see what the bigger ute fuel tanks sell for though Mf.
And then again if sidethrow utilities sell then it is very easy from me to cut the side out of a base and turn a rear chute into a sidethrow. Bit of work making up the chute and flap but not too hard. Might build one for kicks and giggles when it rains one day and I'm stuck in the shed.
If you cut the side of the mower out Norm it affects the air discharge rate because the back section of the mower blades
are not shrouded like the utilities are , grass would clog the back of the mower unless you used a mulching plug, if you
made a rear side shoot ,the mower may sell better as people have the choice of using a catcher or not.
Cheers
Max.
