Hi Guys,
Had a bit more of a squwiss at Victa 8-30, he basic chassis appears to be the same but the 8-30 has a 3 forward and 1 reverse in a H pattern where as the Dayron appears to have a 4 or 5 forward and 1 reverse in a curcular arc similar to a Victa 8-26, the Dayton could be a "crossbreed" for the US market. The front of the bonnet is different as well.
Cheers and Happy New Year Keith
