Hi MF,
As far as Aldi Mowers are concerned many are being returned with failing power plants, my next door neighbour bought one and 4 weeks later returned it only to find out it had a conrod failure. The staff member there mentioned that they have had heaps returned which go straight to the .................................pool room, whoops sorry I meant the scrap heap.
Norm,
It's the youngens that are buying them and flipping them as quick as they can get them.
Yes the housing situation here in Adelaide is no different, they knock one joint over and put up to 4 in its place. Only a few short years ago councils made you have a percentage of open space around a dwelling to absorb water and not have it all go into their storm water infrastructure, now that's all gone out the window because its all about the development lodgement fees and multiple rates from what used to only be one lot etc. that the mongrels are taking in hand over fist.
Cheers,
BB.
