Max,
I never cease to be amazed by both the knowledge of core members , like yourself but MAINLY the generosity you show in taking the time to give thoughtful, fully explained, detailed responses......I tell you it's a far cry from the sarcastic, know it all replies given on many other forums of specific areas.
Thanks ever so much - I'll have a look today and take some photos.
FWIW I think while the profile of the deck may look similar to the Big Bob/Supaswift one - I don't think they're the same - I recall before I purchased the HUT216 I was in checking out the current range of Supaswift Big Bobs, as they'd had an excellent reputation as a well powered 21" utility mower.
The owner of the business talked me off them saying he was very underwhelmed by the cost cutting in their range and had a spare part deck to demonstrate this - the steel was laughably thin and flimsy with a very cheap and nasty paint coat.
Honestly given the simplicity of utility mowers, it's something of a joke how little the few options on the market get for their money - as other than a motor - the costs for the deck, chassis etc would be very little and there's no catcher etc - but thats another discussion. :-/
Thanks again - terrific response.
