I bought one almost identical to this it cost me €4,400 biggest heap of crap that I have ever bought new cheap nasty unsecured plastic trims . Battery and solenoid right in the flow of cit grass . Blocks up all the time even with dry grass the tube going into the grass box has lots of obscures the wiring electrics are a disaster. Only good thing about it is the engine Briggs n Stratton. I am told Viking is owned by STIHL who make by far the best strimmers and very good chainsaws. The people who designed the ride on Viking mower need to be removed it is a pathetic excuse. Anyone disagreeing with me I will post a video and point the faults out that should NOT exist very disappointed after spending a total of 5k in the first year on service ext
