Hi All,
Yet another company has gone to the USA. Below is the letter we received today.
16 February 2010
Dear Customer,
I am writing to you today to inform you that MTD Australia Pty Ltd has agreed to purchase the assets and business of Rover Mowers Ltd.
It is expected the sale process will conclude with MTD taking control on the 1st April 2010
During the period from now until conclusion of the sale, Rover will continue to provide you with the same level of service you have always enjoyed.
In the near future, you will no doubt be contacted by MTD Australia Pty ltd. Rover would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your custom and
loyalty over the years and we wish you every success in the future.
Yours sincerely
Rover Mowers Limited
Graham Douglas
General Manager

The only reason they bought it was to get a leg in to China as Rover shifted all their production equipment to China.

Hi to All, Well guys, we all saw this coming when Rover ceased all production in the factory in Brisbane, and sent it all to China. I now wonder if MTD will continue to manufacture spare parts for the many early Rover machines that are out there....

You can bet the prices will rise a lot because MTD sell equipment cheap but when it comes to parts take a chair so you can sit down when they tell you the price of the parts.
