Prick of a design to be fair, the bonnet is made from a polycarbonate cast plastic which in the cold goes brittle as hell. One tap, and it shatters like glass!!! Didn't help that my cheap crappy boot slid forward and hit the forward pedal when I stopped on the side of the lean too - but by then the damage was done.

I looked at getting one in from overseas, much much cheaper but by the time you added freight costs it was dearer than buying from the distributor in NZ.

Mate who services these had to source a new bonnet for one....The customer wanted a servic on his 6 month old mower and learnt that you put them on trailers facing forward rather than back them on....
