1. good slasher

   Posted by Don Del Giudice on 16th Oct 2017

   good mower. light and easy to use. struggled a bit on lush green grass but otherwise did the job well. hard to start when hot but my old one was the same. frustrating that it stops when you have to move twigs etc in front of the mower. all in all not a bad little unit

2. what a beast !

   Posted by ash on 24th Aug 2017

   I've waited for a break in the weather and finally got to try out the slasher on the weekend. I was not disappointed. Bracken, cape weed, serrated tussock, rabbit holes, incline, decline - powers through or over. The 80mm setting perfect. Runs straight over hidden twigs that can normally get stuck in a mower. The side shoot a gem. This is a powerful engine. One design fault, the silver plastic ring on top of the engine has already popped off a couple of times when pulling the rip cord. I do give it a pretty good rip, but haven't experienced any problems when the engine is hot unlike the other product reviewers. Great fuel economy, just got to watch your oil levels on incline when the exhaust is high side up. Other than that, can't wait to buy some more big boyz toys !

3. Very pleased

   Great little slasher works well for me, even my wife can manage it once it is started. Overcame hard start when hot by adding a home made adjust to the engine cradle.(takes the belt tension off to allow easy starting)

5. A good slasher option

   Posted by Kaseen Cook on 19th Dec 2014

   I just finished my first slashing run with this mower and it went really well. We have some over-grown paddocks - knee high, dry grass on moderately bumpy, moderately rocky, semi-sloping ground with small saplings and thick button grass dotted throughout. It has no trouble with the dry grass or saplings, but stalled a few times on thick button grass - just need to take it slow and best to tackle thick stuff going down hill so you don't need to use the transmission and divert power from the blades. I was surprised that despite all the hidden rocks I didn't hit any of them. I like that the machine has a simple design which looks easy to repair and a large motor and massive blade suitable for moderate slashing. The rubber flap at the back ripped off when the mower fell into a hidden dip in the ground, which is not the mowers fault, just something to be aware of. The self-propelling mechanism worked well. The only minor con's were that the side chute had to be bent into place, the instructions are a little thin (took a little trail and error to work out the throttle and starting) and the motor can be hard to start, even after it's been running, if you are not strong - the starter cord needs a really strong and quick pull and it can be more tiring getting it going than the actual slashing (unless you're fit). Overall, for the price, it's the only slasher I found that was affordable and saved us getting in someone else to do it. It does the job and so far is a really good buy. BBT also has really quick and friendly customer service if you need help.

6. Good Workhorse

   Posted by Unknown on 4th Dec 2014

   After minor assembly and a few adjustments and bolt tightening it started and ran well. Performed well in reasonably heavy going, it's obviously going to do the job. It works where my ride on just wont go and that's a bonus.

7. update to former review

   Posted by Phil on 15th Sep 2013

   Okay been using this mower slasher over a year, it has been worked really hard, next door borrows it for few spots where slope is to great for his ride on or he let the grass getover knee night. Country living, I keep 2.5 acre's mowed, half regular the other half only when it gets knee hight or higher. I've had another friend borrow it to slash over grown vacant lots in town. This is one hell of a mower, handle everything that's been thowen at it, after 12 months of being hammered it shows no signs of stopping. This is a really top, no thrills workhouse,

8. True Value

   Posted by Phil on 26th Dec 2012

   After looking at quite a few mowers/slahers, the price was too temping on this one, okay handles bit rough, I used some pushbike grips to overcome this, need a good solid pull to get it started, electric start would be nice. Handles normal conditions very well, Rough going handles well too, using this where ride on mower could not possibly be used, handles allot more higher growth, higher than i expected if willing to take it slow, nornmal slashing is a breeze. If looking for a goos slasher/mower will not find better valuse and does job extremely well, My neighbour spent 3,500 for a slasher mower of same size, all he got better than this one is better hand grips and electric start. Great Machine BBT I am one very happy camper

9. Well made and willing

   Posted by John Irwin on 6th Feb 2012

   I have had my slasher now for about 2months and have used about 5 tanksful of fuel. Started first pull out of the box but a little harder to start when it is hot. Handles rough high grass really well as well as more normal conditions with ease.An electric start option would be nice for those of us who are getting on. (I am 74) Very well made and excellent value for money. BBT are always contactable.

10. Great Value

    Posted by RW NSW on 5th Jan 2012

    
    Performs Well, Ideal for large yard where a ride on
    is not an option. OK for ordinary mowing as well as
    heavy going, great for those who do not mow as often as they should.
    BBTA organized prompt delivery of this item, and
    the fact that they can be contacted easily by phone is a big plus.
