Brilliant mower, I have the lawnmaster reel 400, which has the Tecumseh motor made in N.Z. yours seems to be a copy of steelfort NZ.

I'm looking at this mower now, looks a good bit of kit. The oil change is easy go to Bunnings and pick yourself up the Briggs & Stratton Oil removal kit $38:99 makes it so easy no mess. Cheers.

Thanks for the tip

Kinda wish I went for this instead of the massport rotory... maybe once lawn is re-levelled will grab one.

How often do you need to have it serviced and sharpen the blades?

@@supersonic249 hey mate, service it myself twice during the growing season and just before putting away for Winter, as for sharpening I backlap and adjust the blades every month or so to keep them tiptop, I haven’t had a pro sharpen them yet, prob do that next year so will be 3 years between sharpening

I have the 500 and agree the height adjustment handle is a piece of 💩 the only other thing I think it needs is a bit more weight. I’m going to work out a way of adding some extra weights maybe another 10-15kg if possible just to stop it “floating” on grass that isn’t perfectly flat

True, I have thought of upgrading the roller to a heavy steel one myself, maybe a mod in the future

I am looking getting one of these, have you experienced many issues with this mower? I’ve read a lot of problems with the clutch and plastic roller.

No problems with either the clutch or plastic roller after 2 seasons however I have maintained the mower well, only reports are stretching of the control cables and the grips fell off the levers

Hey mate, I can’t seem to find a way to backlap this mower. The reel spins independently of the rear drum and there isn’t a nut on the bolt that spins the reel. Outside of getting the right nut for the bolt, is there an easier way

Hey mate, I haven’t got round to backlapping my mower yet, I have the paste just need the time, correct about the bolt, think it takes a 19mm nut then should be able to spin with a rattle gun, not sure how else to sharpen other then filing the bedknife by hand

I just can't justify buying a petrol device these days. I'm going to wait for the electric cordless versions to come down in price.

Don’t disagree I love the battery operated stuff, nearly swapped out all my petrol tools, battery op cylinder mowers not in my price range just yet

What country is it made in?
