Such a great video! Swardman made a huge mistake firing their CEO. He was the guy behind the whole thing. They needed to keep going with development without him, it seemed to end. Your points are 100% spot on. They bend in the handlebars would drive me crazy as well as the noise. Who knows maybe they will listen.

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏾 Now that you say that it makes sense! The company is lacking the drive and energy it had when I was first watching the reviews of the Swardman a couple years back (pretty sure your review was the first one I watched 😂👊🏾) I can barely get an answer for anything from their Texas location and when I do it’s very vague 😂😂😂 Thank you for stopping by! love your channel been subbed since I started KZfaq 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

Can we talk that you need a Toro Sportlawn low cut, side wheel drive 50's Cadillac Beast....! It has a massive bedknife you can sharpen with a file held sideways. Remove the wooden real roller and have one turned from brass or copper and no other mower will stripe like it. Do not touch reel to bedknife if you have had coffee, herbal tea then adjust.... Total mind of it's own and takes a firm hand to keep on line. Get the 21inch.
