Norm, I noticed the Talon sold on gumtree - what I can't get my head around is why the buyer would, given the choice of a nice Vortex or Standard PT or the Talon for $90, why would someone pick the Talon?
Is it just because they don't want to mix fuel, or don't they like the noise, or something else? The Victa will cut longer grass, start easier, and last much longer (provided the deck doesn't rust out)
Not saying the Talon isn't worth $90 - in fact for a working mower with back up service $90 in my opinion is a bargain.
I just don't understand some peoples hate of 2 strokes.
