Hi Andrew and Norm,
I've had an old R seies Deutscher ride on mower that needed parts and because of their age I didn't see any for sale to get parts off and new parts aren't available but I always see new Greenfield parts and a lot of second hand Greenfield mowers for sale so just consider the following points.
If you are considering reliability, maintenance, and suitability for your specific mowing job on 2 ha (5 acres), a Greenfield mower could be the better choice, especially if you prioritize modern technology and effective cutting performance.
On the other hand, if you can find a well-maintained Deutscher model at a good price, it may still serve you well; just be mindful of potential issues with parts availability. If you feel comfortable with the reliability and performance of older machinery and you can perform maintenance or repairs yourself, a Deutscher might be suitable, too.
Cheers
Max.
