Finished up selling my rebuilt NEW Scott Bonnar for $3750, paid $3000 and spent about $400 so I made a profit of about $350 but money wasn't reason for selling.
I wanted to go to the cartridge system so I purchased a RoVer Kensington 17L, had to drive 800Km round trip from Adelaide to Mildura to collect. (diesel $150)
The RoVer came with standard 6 blade cartridge but the selling point was it included 10 blade and de-thatcher cartridges, to buy these 2 is around $1800 new so I thought the $1150 was a bargain for a near new RoVer 17L that had been carefully used and looked after.
I purchased a allett scarifyer cartridge for A$532 so I should be set now.
I actually prefer the RoVer 17L to my previous new Scott Bonnar 45 17" as it's a slightly lighter machine and doesn't seem to dig in on one side if ground is a little uneven.
Anyway, I rang ADE in Melbourne who are the Allett Aust agent and was advised that the RoVer Kensington 17L (Loncin) is a re-badged Allett Kensington 17H (Honda) and parts are readily available which is a huge bonus for a machine that hasn't been sold for maybe 5-6 years now.
