    Ok I read the thread you mentioned and it didn’t say anything about what happened to them other then Sean asking a member to email him. What happened to the company?

    Don't make assumptions. lets see the cold hard facts. Do you have anything to back this up?

    Or is it watercooler hearsay talk?

    What was there to sue about?

    Lets list possibliities:

    OCDC...not a issue with the Bladerunner
    Engines: Um..im pretty sure that manufacturers are free to use whichever engines they choose...
    Deck Design: I dont know enough about the patents on something like this to comment on it
    Drive system: Unless they copied the VTC design, how can you sue them? The use of dual hydro pumps/motors is prevalent in tons of applications, not only mowers so Im sure DC doesnt have a patent on that.
    Stainless Steel: Do I even need to comment?

    So, flame away:angry:
