Hi maxwestern and Cyberjack,
which was the better rotary? SupaSwift, Scott Bonnar or Rover? Rovers were considered a "cut" above Victas generally. They all have their weaknesses.
I have a SupaSwift 767 from the 80s and I just love the feel of that mower and it cuts so well, not leaving anything behind. Only problem is the catcher keeps falling off, due to a weak rear flap spring not putting enough tension over the catcher.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
