Yeah I while I was at the $2 store with the old man I was looking at a petrol powered mulcher to get an idea at what is at the lower-end of the market. Much to my shock the Talon ones were about $650. But yeat I have seen a Masport one with a Honda GX at a specialist mower retailer for around $900 and other units with a B&S I/C engine so its no brainer for me, if I was to buy new. Look I have been burnt with a Ryobi petrol powered blower, its the worst thing I have ever brought. After carby rebuild/clean she now runs better than it did new but I wish I had put my money down on a Tanaka. Buying cheap is just not worth the pain.
