    Looking to purchase one so I can start on a few big lawns in March.Most places seem to be keen on the Weibang models but heard they are quite heavy.Any other recommendations?Eliet,Dormak,Stiga.Let us know about the machines you have and how you find them.

    For commercial purposes camon seem to be the market leader here . I'd give my right arm to buy one , but for domestic purposes it's a touch costly .

    If youre using them for commerical purposes, the honda engine in the camon is there for a reason. the Weibang ..? im sure it's an oversea's machine, might suffice for a few years.. who knows right ?

    I bought an Etesia 2 years ago, absolutely incredible, far far better than a Camon! 2 different reels on mine.

    I scarified almost an acre last autumn and it didn’t tire me out the way the Camon did previously.

    Sean Duggan near Mallow, there are 3-4 dealers in the country.

    Yes, their stuff appears on the pricey side but build quality and performance are excellent.
