Why? Because one machine is built'heavy duty' and the other 'light duty'.The differences in the models is veryimportant as the materials and engineering ofthe heavy-duty machine will generally doubleits life compared to the lightweight unit!In my opinion there is no such thing as amachine that is too heavy duty - the moreheavy duty a machine the harder it is to wreck!There are, of course, applications for lightertherefore cheaper machines. But the age oldstory holds true. . . you get what you pay for!Mower Power 17 Forbes St, DevonportPH 6424 29024082652 ML
