Moments of glory, then catastrophic failure.
Purchased to mow a predominantly level grassy block of about 5000 sq.m. Had my VRX for four years, it now looks like something from the fury road as I stopped putting parts back on. The Briggs and Stratton engine is great but thats where the good news ends. The guide wheels on the cutting deck just fell off, then whilst driving over undulating grass the whole cutting deck FELL OFF. The deck hangar assembly just snapped in half and the deck fell to the ground. The bonnet gradually vibrated loose but the fittings are so weak I just removed the wh...Read more
ole thing. The worst failure was when I once engaged the cutting deck. I stopped cutting whilst driving past the kids then re-engaged it, the deck stopped discharging so I initially assumed the belt came off again. Instead I found the tensioner pulley ripped clean off the deck. The pulley bolt still had the deck attached, but there was a GAPING HOLE IN THE DECK where it was meant to be. Another Bunnings repair and we're still going... I am afraid to let my wife use it since it is just a matter of time before something else breaks. I curse the day I was talked into buying this steaming pile of excrement.Purchased in May 2021 for A$2,500.00.

A Little Harsh
I mow about. 5.5 acres and not a level lawn, more like paddocks and not flat, some parts slope quite steeply. This 42" ride on does the job and has been doing so for the last 5 years without excessive maintenance. Must admit the small branches and sticks from the gum trees do damage the belt which needs regular replacing and the thicker sticks do cause the belt to come off. But replacing the belt or just putting it back on the pulleys is a small 5 or 10 minute job. Only complaint is the parking break which is a bit fiddly and badly designed. The ride is not that comfortable but that is more the result of the uneven terrain. all in all for the price (under $3000) not as bad as the other 2 reviews are suggesting.

not the best machine
THe victa requires an owner with good mechanical aptitude to complete ongoing issues, we cut 2.5 acres n a slope with various issue of broken belts- drive and cutter, broken brackets,poor connection on safety switches,idle pulley and camshaft failure.
But overall its no different from other unit in our area -0 all require high maintenance.

Cheap Chineese rubbish best avoided
I am now repairing the 3rd VRX19542H for the same reason, It is cracking up all over the place.
From what I can see it looks like a bad copy of a Stiga Tornado which was not a particularly well made mower to start with and not suited to most Australian conditions.
The deck shakes from side to side excessively, even after I go the the effort of carefully balancing the blades both left right & front back. The two stabilizing bars at the front are not up to the job when mulching and it is interesting to notice the mounting bolts have holes for R...Read more

Simoneasked
The cutting belt of my two month old ride-on keeps falling off. We have had it replaced once at the repair shop but it has fallen off again and immediately comes off after replacing. Is there a way to prevent this without having to return it to the repair shop (they have a minimum 3 week wait)? The mower is in full throttle when the cutting blades are in use.

hi Simone, I can fix the cutter belt coming off by making belt guides, there are none on them when new. I have fixed rour of this model. if you live Fernvale/Lowood/ Esk or Ipswich Queensland
