I've always maintained that the handles need to be attached to the sides just above the rear wheels, this way all the force is placed on the mounting bolts creating a shearing action which won't happen due to the tightness of the bolts opposed to being mounted on a broad flat area of sheetmetal with absolutely no strength being flexed constantly and eventually failing due to metal fatigue.

It's just basic engineering design and how Victa have gotten it so wrong is beyond me. Honestly if Victa were an automotive manufacturer they wouldn't be able to sell a car as no one would buy them.

Also with this type of design used makes the Victa feel so cheap in ones hands opposed to a Greenfield Enduro series mower or even the very common Scott Bonnar 720 for that matter which was made in the 1980's and were as common as muck.
