Better Outdoor Products
I am very disappointed with this company. Gary had always seemed upstanding and forthright, but now that they have been invisible for the entire season, I think he really owes it to his (former) customers as to what is really going on. Their website should at least be updated as I'm sure the acquisition had fallen through. Just my opinion.

I'm right beside you. I really like the 36 dually. Sadly if it breaks down I'll be looking at a different brand.

Yes, we're going on a year now. The current owners of these mowers should be grateful that he is at least sending replacement parts out. I presume he still has blowers available and since they don't manufacture them, parts for those should be available for a long time.

At first, i was impressed. This was my first commercial mower; a 36" manual start. I think it's called a fox or super fox? I got good service over the phone. I must have bought when they were a new company, and could get help easily. I managed to fix alot myself (to my surprise). I had deck trouble. My model didn't come with reinforcement bars. I had to get get it welded a few times. The last half of my 5 years with the machine, i wasn't happy. I replaced more clutches, spindles, cables than i can remember, and went through 3 engines. I didn't abuse my mower; but i thought this can't be right. My second commercial mower is a 2000 exmark (old and beatup). I now realize the difference. This exmark is practically indestructible. I replaced the muffler and some belts. It has no clutch. When working properly, i liked the quick 36, but the amount of parts i had to replace was a big turnoff.

BTW, the Better blowers are made by Selbro. Like I said, parts will be available for a long time so you can buy the Better blowers with confidence.

Some of these comments are kinda harsh....
Facts are, BOP is not coming back so move on. I liked my machine, but I like my replacement machine too. No big deal to me.
