I questioned the stiffness of the steering on my 827M that I purchased from your company November last year, I spoke to a tech guy called Tim, on 5th Jan 22. He said it could be that the bushes were missing, but they were not. Having used the mower this year there are other problems.
This mower shakes like hell when you engage the cutter, and it is also getting occasional backfiring, yet it idles OK.
The gears on it work on a pot luck basis, changing or engaging gears is not definite, and should be.
I have contacted Partridges of Hadleigh Suffolk who no longer have a workshop and contract out the work to a Simon Carter an ex-employee. He visited my house and inspected the Lawnmower and stated that they were all like that, and the best thing I could do was βSell itβ I am not happy with this ride on Mower when judged against my old efco EF63 its performance and manageability is poor.
