Push Mowers Buying Guide
Our buying guide will explain which type of push mower would suit you most, how much you can expect to pay for one, and which features are worth looking out for.
Simple, rugged, reliable if u learn how to use it.
I have many different mowers. I am a contractor. The 460 Victa fills a gap as a lightweight easy to manoeuvre and rugged mower. The two stroke is rugged and reliable but needs to be operated in a certain way. Always use 25:1, always shake the fuel tank or can before use, always shut off the fuel tap and leave the motor running for 20-30 seconds before shutting off, always leave the fuel tap off when not in use, turn on fuel tap and press primer 3 times before starting, immediately move lever to run but let it run for a minute before mowing. Had them for years. Beautiful mower if u treat them properly.

A simple, reliable 2 stroke mower with a lot of power! If you know how to start it, I do.
I have used the 2 stroke victa engines to mow my lawns for at least 10 years.
I'd like to address concerns about, difficulty starting and the engine cutting out.
In the time I've been using these mowers I've gotten very good at starting them. A lot of the negative points are to do with starting the 2 stroke mower so I thought I'd post my start sequence which will often cold start in 1 pull.
After using the mower stop it by closing the fuel valve and let it run out of fuel, otherwise you will have difficulty starting it later. There is re...Read more
ally no point in ever stopping it with the control lever if you ever plan on starting it again, as the engine will flood during the spin down, during which it's inhaling fuel. To start I open the fuel valve, put the throttle on half and "don't" press the primer, pull the cord first, if it doesn't start then press primer "once", pull again it will probably fire now. It is VERY easy to flood it when starting, use the primer "very sparingly" and it will start easily. If you use the mower weekly it usually starts on the first pull.Similar opinion?

My new Victa lawn mower is a fire hazard
Dear Mr (or Mrs) Victa, if you want the iconic name 'Victa' to remain iconic, I suggest your manufacturing quality control and possibly the design and engineering on your 2 stroke mower has to significantly improve. Please allow me to explain why.
Like my grandfather and father before me, today I became the proud owner of my first brand new Victa. This beautiful machine underwent pre-delivery check' at the point of sale (South Coast Outdoor Products, Narooma NSW) and was placed in the back of my station wagon. From then on the mower chose to ...Read more
leak copious amounts of fuel into my car, which it continued to do so on my first attempt to start it. The leaks from the carburettor and fuel tank cap were so serious I avoided the very real risk of 'self-immolation-by-mower', by returning it to the point of sale. The point of sale people were very helpful and agreed the 'risk-of-being burnt' problem was serious and have taken the mower back for repairs. Yours in fire prevention. Ross Constable

Fragile and unreliable
I purchased one of these for my lawn mowing business. I intended for it to be used on steep blocks where catching and neatness weren't high on the list of considerations. I thought it'd be a fantastic purchase as it was such a lightweight mower.
Unfortunately, this mower just isn't worth its ridiculously exhorbitant $600 price tag. My first problem was with the engine running sluggishly and stopping at random times. This problem was traced back to a vacuum having been created in the fuel tank because there was no ventilation hole in the fuel...Read more
tank cap! However, even after fixing the cap, this mower was persistantly frustrating to start. I ended up almost pulling my shoulder from its socket and the mower almost took a one-way trip over a cliff. But I persevered... stupidly. After owning this mower for a grand total of 15 days and using it a mere 3 times, the wheels literally fell off. Well, just one - the front right-hand wheel, to be precise. That was enough for me - I took it straight back to the shop I purchased it from and demanded a full refund, which I got. I wouldn't recommend this if my life depended on it. For around $600 I know you won't get a mower of the quality of a $1,600 Honda self-propelled lawn mower, but you should still expect and get a good-quality build and reliability. The Victa Mastercut 460 is neither and I've sworn off Victa lawn mowers permanently because of this. I wish I could give it no stars! Lightweight, very lightweight. Fragile, unreliable and ironically, lightweight in terms of build quality by comparison to much cheaper alternatives. Victa can do so much better.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

460
Had one of these for a few years. Used as a back up mower for my 550's. Reliable, light, easy to use. I mow a 2 acre block and found this filled in nicely when my 550 was in for a service or work. I would recommend these mowers to anyone on a suburban block.
light, starts easy.

Brand new mower purchased, used for 10 mins, then it broke!!?
The bracket that goes from the height adjustment to the front wheel - it came away from the front wheel and had only used it for 10 minutes!!??
Light-weight, otherwise don't know - only used 10 mins before it broke!
Doesn't seem to be strong enough to last until its first service?!

OK
A good mower, pity Victa don't offer an alloy deck option or rust treat the steel ones.
I think the model with the Briggs and Stratton should have the Quantum 50 engine instead of the Quatro 40. The Quantum 50 is a much better power plant and less than $50.00 more.
In summary a good mower let down by a short deck life.
A nice light simple little mower and the 2 stroke isn't short of power
The steel deck needs cleaning and drying after use. I'm not a fan of steel decks. I saw a Victa Mastercut 460 in a mower repair workshop with rust holes in...Read more

Excellent
This is far and away the best small engine product I have bought. If I ever needed a new mower, I would buy the same one again.
After three years of total abuse it keeps on cutting...
Bought because I tend to break everything I buy though hard use and this one is tougher than I can dish out. Rough ground, thick overgrown grass - it does the lot with no whinging. I have the Victa 2-stroke engine with the 3l tank - can mow the whole acre twice without needing to refill.
It has never broken down so I have never gotten out of mowing...
