One of my 'new' favs is a Honda powered 18" Little Bob. Beautiful machine to use.

With SupaSwift, the blue chassis is the 18-inch steel Rover base, the silver alloy chassis looks to be the old Pro-Cut in 20-inch form. I'd be on the phone to order one straight away if it had self-propel!

It's funny, a dealer told me Rover stopped making these steel and alloy chassis because there was "wear in the tooling", said to me with a tongue in cheek. Clearly, the tooling is good enough to continue making mowers under the SupaSwift and Bushranger brands. From what I can gather, Rover (MTD) decided to drop these for Chinese cloned crap instead. How to kill a brand in short order 101.
