As Gadge said, they are well balanced with the motor back between the rear wheels, stand them up on the back wheels and just push on into the jungle. Don't try that with a 4 stroke |  |  |

I take it the pulley on the blade disc side is quite a bit larger than the crankshaft side to give it gear reduction effect for the  motor to power the wider cut. 
 Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

And the 24's are cheap enough so if you had a bit of land to cut you could bolt a couple together and just pull them around behind a 4 wheel quad bike and get a 48 inch cut   |  |  |

^ Have one facing backwards and the other forward so they both shoot outwards.
