Hi all,
New member here. I don't think anyone has posted about this here yet, so I may be the first to break this news to some people:
Greenfield Mowers has gone out of business (
reference).
They have granted the manufacturing license for their products to Cox Industries.
Spare parts will apparently remain available through a "combined" Greenfield and Cox spare parts catalog, although I'm not sure what this means for availability of older spare parts for previous generations of equipment. I also have no idea what it means for their new products in the future, but the spare parts side of it is far more relevant to this forum.
Anyway, a bit about myself as this is only my second post. I live in New Zealand and do mowing, maintenance and repair on two Greenfield ride on mowers, a 2003 Evolution III 13-32 and a 2009 Evolution Fastcut 19.5-34 (several dealers used to sell them here in NZ too). I've found the wealth of information on the OutdoorKing forums very useful over the last couple of years in doing various maintenance tasks on the aforementioned Greenfields for the first time, and have wanted to post something for a while but just haven't had the reason to until now.
So I thought I'd start a thread here in the Greenfield ride on questions forum (hope that is OK) to let people know if they haven't found out already, and for anyone interested to discuss Greenfield going out of business, and what it may mean for those of us who own and use old Greenfield products and to some degree rely on spare parts being available, etc. If anyone knows anything at all about this (i.e. more details) other than what is readily available on the Greenfield and Cox websites and their YouTube channel (

Regards,
Rupert
