Greenfield V Twin Deluxe Series

Go home grown – Well you are probably reading this in search of a mower, and you've come to the conclusion there are many brands, pros ans cons to consider. well I am writing this because i spent alot of time researching and wanted to share it with you to help you with your decision. The geeenfields offer a very sturdy construction with a fabricated deck. If… Read more

you buy a mower make sure you get a fully fabricated deck as they are stronger and will outlast pressed decks. You never know when you will run into something that could destroy your pressed deck and cost you $500 to replace.

Greenfields also mow grass is reverse, to me this was the winning point. JD mowers as far as i am aware dont mow grass in reverse without disengaging the blades.

I have the 34 inch cut, do 3/4 of an acre. I was first concerned about the small cut size however these machines are fast. They also use mower blades instead of a bar blade unlike regular ride ons. This is important because it only costs around $20 to change the blades and if you hit something like a rock they will fling back to reduce damage unlike a bar blade which would be damaged in that instance. Greenfield now offer zero turns and bar blade machines with a bigger cut size

The diff lock is handy aswell for rough terrain something very hard to find on ride ons.

The heel drive is amazing (trust me you will thank me later)

The only thing i dont like was the rubber grip dor the brake pedal came off at 50hrs. no biggie still fully functional just havnt bothered gluing it back on.

Would i buy another one? yes

If you cant afford one at least buy a mower with a favricated deck and make sure to maintain it as it is a working machine.

I am not paid by anyone, i just think pay credit where it is due and with the saturation of information on the web it can be so difficult to make a decision.

Happy mowing!

love this mower – Thirty five years ago I bought the 'best' rideon ever built, a Deutscher, It is still going, but I moved, interstate.. Looking for a new mower in QLD I asked several 'sales' people for the 'best',, new ride on mower.. The salesman at Greenfields Bundaberg said,,"sorry we only sell the second best'! I bought IT,, The mower I bought (32 inch… Read more ·  1

Greenfield) nine years ago has been fantastic! It has done more work than you can imagine,

Still going strong.. IT's how you treat them and look after them that counts!

New, bigger property now. New mower required..In zero turn I believe, Bobcat are the 'best' by far,but,,

I needed a more compact and easier machine to drive,,prefering Greenfield I bought,,

The Grayden zero turn,, it is fantastic! Bring on mower therapy!

Can't wait for the grass to grow.

Downside,,All manufacturers should adopt the spannerless blade removal of 'Deautscher'

and the rugged simplicity of Bobcat and Greenfied !

MUST have a remote engine oil drain fitted !!!

What the hell is going on – The 50th Anniversary model big Red 30 hp nothing but a money pit They did not strengthen the drive system to accommodate the motor Frustrating Now making cheap crap parts to replace even more frustrating Come on greenfield accommodate your Aussie business trying to have a go frustrated Ken .  Show details

Cutter belt - lasted only four hours from new – Bought a brand new Greenfield on Sat and it broke down Sunday, after 4.1 hours of use. The cutter fixed clutch pulley split in two. Not impressed at all. I had a Cox mower for the past 12 years with no problems at all. I will see how Greenfield warranty goes. I will keep everyone informed. Phoned a dealer closest to me for repair and was… Read more

told by Days Machinery they could fix it under warrenty. Could be fixed the same day or one week. Over the phone I agreed. After I took the mower in I was told a different story that it would now take at least weeks to just even look at it. Spent thousands of dollars on a new mower and this is greenfields service on warranty. POOR indeed.

I was warned re these posts.

Do hope I can say something positive.

Battery keeps going flat - is that normal? – Hi, This is a great heavy-duty mower - except for one thing - despite regular use the battery keeps going flat in the machine.. I am pretty sure the battery is not supposed to go flat if you are using the machine regularly. The guy I bought it off changed the battery but that hasn't helped.. Bit disappointing. I am presuming I will be able to… Read more

get it fixed under warranty... I am hoping Greenfield will be able to help out and explain how I get it fixed..

Great Mowers – I mow approximately two acres of varying terrain with some rough and sloping areas. This is my second Greenfield with the last one doing over 600 hours. My current one has 325 hours on it and I'm just about to replace the chain. With both, the only repair items have been belts and blades except for a deck bearing which was my fault for washing… Read more

down the mower when hot. I now use compressed air or let it cool down before washing it. So easy and cheap to maintain. Oil and filter changes religiously every 25hrs. I do have a back problem and have no issues with ride comfort providing I don't mow for more than three hours in one go. a tank of fuel will last from 5 hours when easy mowing to around three in tough conditions like very long grass and working hard. Cannot understand others having issues with a Greenfield as both of mine have never given me any trouble through build quality at all. Would not consider any other mower as it does as good a job as a hand mower as far as finish goes.

Excellent machine – Very happy with my machine as will mow anything and the result is amazing. Comfortable, quick and easy to maintain. A solidly built machine that is more expensive than alternatives but worth the money. Do not expect to ever own anything else to do my lawns. I refuel every third mow and is heavy on fuel due to its power, but the motor does not have to work hard it does it all easily.  Show details

Lasted 6 hours total - Stay Away – I bought one of these brand new, used it once through tough grass and it did really well. Cleaned it and 2 weeks later used it again. This time mowing the short grass that I had left after the first time it caught on fire and burnt down to nothing before myself and the neighbour could get it out. I told the dealer and Greenfield. The dealer was… Read more

rude and Greenfield showed little interest and with no investigation and without asking any real questions about what happened said it was grass on the deck so no warranty.

I will not go Greenfield again based on Service alone without even questioning what caught on fire.

Buyer beware – Potential new owners should know about dealer only service availability. I had the experience of a seized pulley. I rang the dealer who is over an hours drive away and was told that it would be more than 3 weeks before they could even look at my mower. So I took it to my local mower shop which was not a Greenfield agent and was told they could… Read more

fix it but NO, their account for parts at Greenfield was cancelled as only Greenfield dealers can now get parts. Beware of this as and there can be long long wait with a small dealer network. On my personal approach to Greenfield was told that it was only a new decision.

Solid machine but the overall finish needs improvement. Perhaps not worth the money – I purchase my 26hp Greenfield Deluxe back in March 2010. It had just ticked over 200 hrs. There are some good points and some bad points regarding this ride-on. Firstly the good. The motor hasn't missed a beat and runs well. The ride- on has the ability to cut through long grass and within several cuts gave my property a great looking finish.… Read more

All the components (throttle, deck height adjustor, engage cutter lever, etc) are simple to use and I really enjoyed using the hydrostatic drive. The general build of the machine is solid (i.e. no plastic).

Now the bad. If you intend to use this machine on any hill, expect to break heaps of belts. The drive belt is just not up to the task on any slope. Like a lot of other reviewers, my machine also gets caught wanting to surge forward, when I want to go back. You have to fight the foot pedal, the noise and the burning belt smell just to get it to engage into reverse!! The fuel tank needs to be bigger. The key start in my machine is really flimsy, as I have to push really hard, whilst turning the key, just to get the machine to fire, normally after several attempts. The alloy on my diff lock wheel, around the centre hole, just disintegrated one day. When I ordered a replacement wheel, they sales person stated this is a common problem for this wheel. Recently the hour meter display just failed!

As you can see, I've had a lot of annoying issues that shouldn't be happening! Not on a ride-on that cost $6290 at the time. Yes, it is solidly built and does the job well. But with all of the above issues, as well as the normal servicing requirements, it make this machine expensive to maintain, not to mention unavailable as it is at the workshop far too often. I have bit the bullet and have just purchased a Razorback.

Not happy Jan – 18 months old 150 hours and have got the same problem as most of the unhappy greenfield owners. Gets stuck going forward and have to kick it into reverse to get it to stop. Obviously a recurrent problem. Oh, also told its not under warranty. Listen to your customers GREENFIELD. Also broke the join on the foot peddle this arvo :-(. If you could put the drive system of a cox on this machine it would be awesome.

appraisal of this mower – I bought this mower on 14/ 07 /11 and have nothing but trouble ever since right to this moment, I will say one thing at this point , the Kawasaki motor has performed excellently . I also at that time got a catcher & front blade , the blade also has given me no trouble, I wish they would rename the catcher 'a way station' between the cut grass &… Read more

the driver because you get covered in dust & grass.the drive train is totally useless , it has developed a mind of it's own in as much as it won't stop whether fwd or back it sticks in drive with foot of pedal which has cost me a lot in repairs around the house. I have returned this to firstly, the dealer while in warranty, the first problem was having mowed the grass it looked like a rice paddy all sweeping terracing , 3 times I took it ,3 times they told me nothing wrong, it is still doing it. I told them at the time I thought it was caused by the weight of the catcher ,& was told in no uncertain terms that the designer/owner of greenfields & he knew what he was doing.So knowing what I know now commend ANY OTHER MOWER except this thing, oh did I mention rust , i'l save the rest for the future BEWARNED.

Incredible – After much research bit the bullet and paid for Aussie made quality. This mower runs over tall grass as if mowing a lawn. Once you get used to the forward/reverse action on the pedal it is highly manoeuvreable. Motor is a gem and nothing stops it. Only issue is that the left front wheel rubs on the support wheel for the cutting deck and… Read more

stretches the tyre when turning. If turning left to mulch cut grass it leads to punctures, so make sure you have a spare wheel! Current model has a 5 cm longer chassis to remove the issue. After sales service has been great.

Cannot fault – After extensively researching ride on mowers, Husqvarna 52 inch, JD x540, Cox, victa, Kubota, etc etc I decided I needed a mower which could mower the front acre of my yard with the precision of a push mower, but be able to handle the back 5 acres with with rough, long overgrown paddocks without an issue. My neighbour has a $12,000 JD x540 which I… Read more

have used and the other a new Cox 17.5hp. After looking at all aspects in detail I could not go past the all Australian made Greenfield v25hp 34inch fastcut. The build quality, simplistic yet highly effective engineering and ability to mow anything sold me. After using all brands listed above previously, when I first used the mower it blew me away. Comfortable, sheer power, ease of steering, quality of cut was amazing. The diff lock enables me to climb sandy hills on my block no problems, the ground speed and single pass on really thick kikuyu is amazing. If you are in the market for a mower and you don't seriously considering a greenfield you are making a huge mistake!

Moved on – My family have had these Greenfield type for years they just keep going ang going. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but I thought i Would bite the bullet and give this little aussie champion a go. And blow me down it's no slow go. first time in years we have had grass like this but it knocks it down. - Sold mower two years later too much… Read more

trouble I brought a V20 Twin Kawaka and man does this Kill my old american mower "heap of ----" for performance and cutting. I mow 2 good acres and 10 "out back" acres last two with heavy hill work. I think it is the only ride on with a lockable diff for hill work. Completely WOW! Was not a dealer in my area.

You pay for what you get! – So, after 20 years of sitting on unreliable plastic and tin rubbish, I decided to bite the bullet and finally purchase a good strong reliable ride on. I did a lot of research and watched a fair amount of youtube to finally bring me to - what turned out to be - a very good decision. I purchased a GREENFIELD 25hp deluxe fast cut - included in the… Read more ·  3

all up price of just under $6000 was a factory fitted dozer blade for levelling and pushing - that's how much grunt this beast has got.

Make no mistake - this thing has power and more to cut through thick 30cm [inappropriate word removed] (is that how you spell it?) as if you were mowing the lawns in the botanical gardens. Doesn't miss a beat and just keeps plowing through without difficulty at all. The dozer blade is manually operated on a push rod handle set up and though it is not a bulldozer, it will level off small piles of dirt, mulch etc and is great for spreading stones on my paths and driveways. Saves my back using a rake and shovel, believe me!!

It is fitted with a Briggs and Stratton v twin motor that is electronic start. It sounds like a stock car and I grin everytime I start it up. More than enough speed, it will kick along at about 15 kph on open ground, obviously a bit slower than that when mowing of course. ha ha. The foot brake and hand brake are amazing - they will stop you basically as good as a car. The steering is chain drive and the chassis is welded solid metal. I have been told that Greenfields have not changed their design since 1946 or something like that - and does that tell you something? "When you're on a good thing...etc"

Servicing is going to set me back $400 and needs to be done every 100 hours - that's a lot of work though and probably about 12 months mowing for me I reckon. I was told that the biggest problem by far with ride on mower troubles is not the mower - but the owner. By not getting it properly serviced and adjusted will, in time, obviously lead to difficulties. I have learnt my lesson on this and I will be spending the 400 just for peace of mind of having a mower that will work each and every time. I have had this mower 4 months now - time will tell but for the first time ever, I feel quietly confident that we will be spending a lot of time together.

Faults -

1. Its a bit on the smaller size compared with other rides on I've had. My 6.2 frame finds it a little difficult climbing into the cockpit, but once I'm in I have no difficulty with seating, foot levers, steering and blade operation. Once you get over the surprise of its smaller size you will be genuinely impressed.

2. The hand brake is on an actual lock in lever. Because the mower has tons of grunt, I rode around for an hour or so before I realised the hand brake was on. (The foot brake still worked fine and I was puzzled as to why it seemed sluggish) I had to get the guys to adjust the handbrake on its first service without drama - albeit some owner embarrassment...... I make it a point of releasing the hand brake every time now. Still - a warning light or something on the dash would be really great but maybe over the top for just a ride on.....(?)

3. This thing is thirsty. I have a level one and a half acres with thick long lawn. I will go through 10 litres in about 2 hours - but - it does have a strong powerful motor that cuts [inappropriate word removed] and if I have to buy that little extra fuel, so be it.

4. Ear muffs are essential - after driving this thing around for an hour or so without ear protection my brain was slightly scrambled. I told you it sounded like a stock car!!

My overall view? At this stage of the game (its only been 4 months) I am very very happy with my outlay. You pay for what you get and I have been assured that I will still be using it 20 years from now. Second hand resale is surprisingly good - watch the second hand Greenfields get snapped up on E Bay etc.

Convince the wife or hubby and go spend the money on a mower instead of buying that second car for him/her. You wont be disappointed - and let your partner have a drive to convince them as well. My wife offers to mow the lawns now - is THAT heaven??? ha ha

Go for it...

Don't Damage your Greenfields Mower – I recently damaged my mower by running over some large stones. This caused the cutter deck to warp and also bent the cutter disk and spindle. Since the replacement cutter disk and spindle are apparently sold as 1 unit, the local dealer had to acquire and replace this unit and the deck. The cutter deck is cast iron so it does not rust. The down… Read more

side is that it cannot be hammered back into shape. Try in excess of $1200.00 to repair the mower. I do not wish to amend my favourable earlier review but purchasers should be aware that structural repairs may not be as cheap or as easy as with mowers with a steel cutter deck and components that are not bundled.

fast worker – Just bought 34" 30hp, replaced old but good john deere stx38. Have 5 acres mixed lawn areas and horse paddocks and an acre of scrubby land. Mowed the lot yesterday ... Reduction in time compared to stx38 massive, at least a couple of hours time saved which was why I bought it. Only have to mow in single pass, and at much Faster ground speed. Bit… Read more ·  1

of time saved due to foot pedal reverse, and even with diff unlocked turning circle bit larger than my old stx, but only a minor issue as it is so darn everywhere else you more than make up the time. Mower deck doesn't stick out wilder than wheels so I cant quite get the deck under post and rail fences like the old one. 34" vs 38" no problems... The greenfield is way quicker mowing speed leaves the old one for dead. Thick weeds and grass don't slow it down. Thick couch no probs. This mower might not suit everyone but if you need to mow rough or weedy paddocks horse yards etc but still need to do a bit of nice lawn this will do a good job.

Have ordered a dozer blade too.

Good mowers – Ive had 8 greenfields ,5 of em v twins and a 30hp for 3 years unreal machine , except grub screws in bearings , if ya blades are jumping out undo the nut on the lever a bit , that usualy fixes it

Extremely capable machine – I have a 3 acre sloping block typically 1 in 4 to 1 in 5, thick kikuyu and the odd weed or two. Many mower shop owners were pointing me in the direction of zero turn mowers, however I felt the slope and more rearward centre of gravity and lack of steerable front wheels would not be ideal on this block and a Rops would have been a must. After a… Read more

fair bit of research online it was a toss up between the vanguard series Briggs and Stratton 20 HP v twin or the Kawasaki 26hp motor Greenfield. I went with the Vanguard.

The mower has plenty of power and has no problem on climbing the slopes, although I am very cautious, the manufacturer advises not crossing slopes of 5 degrees or more or running up and down greater than 10 degrees. I keep the diff lock engaged all the time on acreage, although on our suburban block ( flat) it's not required. It's reasonably manoeuvrable and the single back forward pedal is very effective for getting around tight areas. Some of the grass on our block when I first mowed it was nearly 1 metre high, surprised at how well the Greenfield handled it, took it slowly, the blades do a great job at ejecting the grass. the mower is exceptionally well built, very well engineered with some good accessories such as blade, grass catcher. All controls are very simple and logical. The quality of the cutting finish again on my suburban block is as good as my victa push mower.

The mower takes a bit of getting used to driving down slopes, the trick is to put your foot on the accelerator and let the motor control the speed, taking your foot off can let the mower speed down the hill. There is an emergency foot brake which is quite effective.

If the ground is bumpy or you lift your backside the motor can cut out because of the seat safety switch activates, seems a bit too sensitive for my liking.

Overall I am very impressed with the build quality and capability off this mower. Build quality, ease of use, capability

This machine is absolutely fantastic – This machine is fantastic, you will wish you had bought one first! For years I'd been putting up with all the problems of owning a John Deere LA series 42" edge-cut, I had bought it new, hoping for years of reliability. What I got was a poor quality cutting deck, having to change cutter deck belts and blades every 25-50 hours, head gasket… Read more ·  1

failures, deck breakages and rust, etc etc - all very expensive.

So I did some research, and the reviews on the Greenfiled series were great.

I purchased a Deluxe 34" with a VTwin V-24 Kawasaki engine. Wow! this machine is a beast, it powers through any type of grass, including onion weed, and despite being a slightly narrower cut, it cuts my 5 acres in half the time of the John Deere. Gives an excellent cut, has twice the life of the blades and is more economical as the Kawasaki engine is hardly even working.

The Greenfield designed clutch drive is brilliant, and the forward/reverse action is amazing and so quick, ( no expensive hydrostatic transmission to fail !)

The chain steering gear unit is just like power steering in a car.

Overall, I cannot recommend this unit highly enough, it is worth every cent !! Smoothness and power, speed of cut, simple design of clutch drive, good quality cut, incredibly strong chassis, cast alloy deck that won't rust

Just a few things need improving and it would be everything it promises – Like most owners I wanted a super tough Aussie machine for a rough block so I bought a 26hp Vtwin briggs version. Very expensive but that didnt worry me. The first day I rode it I had 4 x flat tyres! I found that the tyres were cheap,nasty and have very little tread pattern. I had been mowing the same area with my MTD and never had a flat.I was… Read more

very dissapointed with that given the price tag and the type of people these things are aimed at.

The fuel tank is way too small. Probably the same one that is used in smaller models. You have to fill it up each time you go out. My old MTD had a much larger tank.

The seat sits very high and is quite narrow making slopes very disconcerning.It also rocks due to the way it is anchored.

The 26hp briggs is good with heaps of power but would have got a Honda or Kawasaki engine if they were avaiable in that hp.

The deck only has two blades. It really should have four blades. Greenfield fit two extra blades if you purchase a side chute so the grass flies out better.

Over all it is a good machine but the tyres are a real let down as is the fuel tank size.

You also have to be very weary if the missus or anybody not used to operating machines rides it as it will take off at 100mph down hill if you dont use the foot throttle properly making it potentially dangerouse- she wont use this one. A mower in this price bracket should have an auto brake.

The cutting deck doesnt go high enough! Once again, these things are supposed to be aimed at rough blocks.

I do like it, but its probably poor value for money and you would be better off buying two cheaper models for the same price.

One other thing is that the drive belt does lose grip when pulling my large frame up a steep hill. For the price it should be better. Good Power, Australian made (except engine), Very fast simply built Tyres, tank size. seat height and width, no auto brake. cutting deck doesnt lift very high

Greenfield 34" Fastcut. excellent machine – I have lived on 5 acres for 32 years near Brisbane and have owned 5 Greenfields all purchased new. The first mower was an 8XL . 8hp. I briefly purchased a Rover Auto Drive when they were released in 1995. A real heap of junk which I sold after 1 year and went back to Greenfield. All the complaints previously aired by other owners are bona fida and… Read more

I agree with. However these faults are minor and the Greenfield will give you at least 10 years of service if you look after it and service it.These machines are very simple in design and the 1 cutter head is a huge advantage over the multi cutter heads of the American machines. The blades travel at a lot slower revolutions thus bearings and pulleys last the life of the machine. To obtain the same cutting speed in an American machine the revolutions are at least double, thus suffer high wear. The Greenfield is more expensive than American but more reliable and far less maintenance. Thus in the long run is worth the money. Simple design,trouble free,easy to service,excellent re sale value,plenty of power,differential, all steel body work Expensive to purchase,grass builds up on the cutter deck,cutter engagement slips out.

It's a tough little beast – I bought the 2012 50 year anniversary model with 34" fastcut deck, 30hp B&S V Twin and red paint so it goes faster. Big dollars but I wanted to buy right and buy once. Been using it for 6 months now . Coming from a Cub Cadet 19hp with a 42"deck. This thing is an absolute beast! I'm mowing about 2.5 - 3 acres of bush grass and some pretty severe… Read more ·  10

slopes that worried me on the higher centre of gravity Cub Cadet. Absolute confidence in the GF not tipping over. The GF has seriously cut my total mow time from 3 1/2 hours on the larger decked Cub Cadet to 2 1/4 hours purely and simply because of the heal/tow operated clutch drive vs hydrostatic transmission and the way it just powers through anything at the same speed.

I have fitted 2 extra blades on the single rotor giving 4 blades all up and they are brilliant to date - very fine cut. The turning circle on the GF is pretty ordinary by comparison with the Cub (which has an excellent turning circle btw) but the speed of the fatcut deck with heal/tow forward and back operation more than makes up for it and I have several dozen trees to get around.

It looks like something out of a Meccano set and isn't as pretty as the Cub Cadets, Husqvarnas and John Deers I looked (and a fair bit more expensive) but it's built like a tank and has a minimum of bits on it that will break. All alloy deck and wheels wont rust and the zinc coated steel used for the covers and seat frame shouldn't either. I saw some very very old Greenfields when looking around and they may have looked a bit beaten up but they were still running and weren't rusted out. The deck on my 3 year old Cub is already showing severe signs of corrosion so that alone convinced me to go the more expensive all alloy route. It starts 1st time every time and ploughs through chest high grass as quickly as is does through the lawn part of the property. Feels unstoppable and the chain steering is as light as.

As mentioned in earlier reviews the blade engaging lever tends to pop out of the disengaged lock position and can be difficult to force locked but this hasn't been a major problem as it needs to be fully pulled back and locked to engage the blades. The seat safety switch is a pain if you're getting on and off the thing a lot as when towing a trailer around the property picking up branches and other rubbish. The American mowers allow you to leave the engine running and get off if you engage the park brake and disengage the blades. I'll be fitting a simple switch to allow me to bypass this safety feature when I'm using it as a tow vehicle and not mowing. Be nice if it had the same foolproof bypass system as the competition though. The differential can be hard to disengage as mentioned by others as well.

If they could fix the minor grumbles it would be 5 stars. Tough no nonsense build. Been the same for a long time so somethings working well. Great low centre of gravity for slope work. Diff can be hard to disengage, fuel tank too small, blade lever disengages from off position too easy and no park and leave running option. Drink holder would be nice. None of these criticisms are serious or deal breakers.

Excellent – I will never buy another mower but a greenfield,heaps better than imported mowers.parts are easy to get ,belts strong and blades swing back if you hit something.Do yourself a faver and cheack them out,they will save you time and money in the long run. plenty of power,graet hill climber maybe a bit ugly

Greenfield v-twin 30hp – After buying several 'normal' brands like John deere and husqvarna I never felt happy with them so after much research I decided to buy the 30hp V-twin Greenfield ride on and all I can say is "I love it" every time I use this mower it puts smile on my face. It chews through grass higher than the mower with ease. i live on 10 acres and the place… Read more ·  2

has never looked so good. In the paddocks I would hire a tractor and slasher now I use the mighty Greenfield! I call it a grass,shrub and small tree mower! tough, cuts anything, simple design, power, cheap maintenance

tough machine – have just bought a slopey 10 acres with mostly green panic and rhodes grass about waist height. Also lantana and old sticks and some rocks. The v twin briggs and stratton engine has plenty of power and just eats the grass up. I have also taken on small lantana bushes and even small saplings around an inch thick in diameter no worries. Then I… Read more ·  1

turn around and can get a very good finish mowing my house yard of nice couch grass. I feel like writing a review every time I use it. It is really making it hard to justify getting a tractor and slasher as it does the job of a slasher albeit probably not as quick. So far reliable, tough and very good build quality- I reckon it looks good too. The service from the dealership is always excellent- can't speak highly enough of them. Basic and could do with grippier tyres.

Excellent – My model is the Evolution 2000 powered by the Honda 16Hp Vtwin. It was more expensive than the Briggs and Stratton powered models but it's a lot smoother. This mower replaced a Greenfield 21st Anniversary 11Hp model that I had for over 15 years. The 11Hp model took 2.5 hours to mow my 1acre block. The Evolution series does it in 1.5 hours. I dont… Read more ·  1

have to worry if I miss a few weeks of mowing,as the Evolution series has tremendous power for a 34inch cut.

It is highly manouverable because of the rear axle differential and excellent light turning circle. Servicing is straight forward for anyone who is mechanically minded. Service parts are very well priced, compared to the imported mowers. Service parts for the Honda engine are expensive, that's typical of Honda. These mowers are capable of lasting a lifetime due to the excellent parts backup of the Greenfield company and because most of the chassis parts are readily available, "off the shelf items".

This mower is designed and built in Australia by an old Australian company that prides itself on building quality equipment. Last I heard, my old 11Hp Anniversary model is still going strong. If you can afford a New Greenfield, i strongly recommend you buy one. You wont have to buy another one for a very long,long time. It's fast,quiet and powerfull. Powerfull Headlights. Did I mention it's FAST. When I say FAST, I mean 30cm high lush green grass FAST. No cupholder or vanity mirror.HaHa.

Excellent Tough Mower – In the process of buying another one. I had over 800 hours and 10 years on my Evolution 2000 20HP B&S. Used it pretty much as a tractor cutting 4ft high grass around the dam where the large tractor didn't fit. Used it to cut over 5 acres of hilly pot holed terrain. Used it to cut fire breaks around a 20 acre paddock when the tractor was in for… Read more ·  1

service. In that time I only went through 4 drive belts 5 cutter belts and one pully (50mm dia stick broke the idler pulley). Just changed the oil and filter once a year. I know others that purchased other models and they have all been replaced in a few years. Yes it an agricultural machine (nothing fancy) but it does the job. I was quite surprised at the light duty comments that were posted. Recently took it to the shop for clutch pack replacement but had numeorus other issues including a cracked clutch plate. Given list of parts needing replacement, I think a new one is in order. It was still going before I took it in. Not bad for the use (err abuse) it received for the last ten years. Reliable, unstopable, can be used for cutting high grasses. With the wet weather last few years could use more aggressive tyres but then that could chew up teh good lawn, its a comprimise.

Can't fault it – This mower does what it says on the can. Powerful, reliable, excellent quality cut - on both tall thick West Coast Tassie blocks as well as leaving a perfect manicured finish on a well maintained lawn. Pleasure to operate, highly manoeuvrable. Most impressive on boggy ground – not too heavy and fairly wide tyres to spread the weight. No… Read more

hydrostatic transmission to worry about. Worth every dollar. Kawasaki twin cylinder engine. Sharp, swing back blades. Honest, reliable, helpful Service. No deck wash.

A little Beast – I live on steep acres and have been converting horse pasture to large house lawns. The 26HP V Twin just eats up everything with ease and gets up those slopes effortlessly. It has not missed a beat after 100 hrs. Made to last, it may not have all the pretty plastic, but it's taken everything I have thrown at it. An Australian icon that deserves… Read more ·  1

recognition. Parts are cheap and it's easy to repair yourself.

I just love the simplicity of the belt/pulley transmission and if something breaks I am not looking at big hydrostatic transmission bills. Robust, reliable, with a belt and pulley drive system that will handle the hard work

Terrible – This is only a LIGHT DUTY mower and at the $6300 ($7000 LIST) price point is way overpriced in my opinion and based on the proven weaknesses of the design. My block is 4 acres of ex dairy farm and should be an easy mow for a mower in this price point. I was even told by the dealer that customers of his are using this model commercially.

26 HP V TWIN B&S MOTOR , LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL This report is in addition to my previous review. Now at 73 hours , Mower Drive belt only lasted 66hrs and not covered by warranty.Wheel Drive clogs with grass between sprocket and chain. Deck needs grass cleaned away from it every hour of mowing if grass thick or it blocks the cutter disengaging.Choke mount broke , dealer resoldered. Blades both genuine and aftermarket ( dealer had no stock of genuine) chip and shatter very easily . Plate that blades mount onto easily bends if hit a surface treeroot.Left side deck guide wheel easily bends too , mount bracket is very thin. Paint peeling off sprockets , trim from from of bonnet detached at both ends , had to reglue . Rubber / plastic rock deflector almost worn away.I have photo evidence of all these issues and the previous issues have reported to the dealer and the manufacturer with no response ...hence i am reporting them here.

Excellent – This mower is just about unstoppable. Mowed wet grass that was over 4ft high without a fuss. Then does my manicured lawn around my house to an amazing finish. Built for Australian conditions by an Australian company. I'm totally wrapped in this thing. Fast, Incredible build quality. Excellent in rough terrain. Super Strong. Tyres could have been more aggressive.

Excellent – I am wrapped, 26hp pull the choke out a bit and i have the Harley ive always wanted. I have 1 acre nearly all steep and the Greenfield handles it with no problems. I have always had dual cutting decks 42" etc but i am really impressed with the 34" single alloy deck, there is no scalping and i do mow some crap. If you are like me and are checking… Read more

a lot of mowers prior to purchasing do your self a favour and look at a greenfield. They are a bit more expensive but your grand kids will keep using it. quality and performance Park brake lever "need a knob". Tyres could be a little more aggressive and it need a larger fuel tank. Diff lock can be diificult to unlock.
