You cite ONE example as empirical evidence.
I own and operate a commercial mowing business where we mow highway right-of-ways. My crews/mowers collectively log over 15,000 hours a year. About 1/3rd is with single spindle 6', or 7' mowers, plus a couple 8' twin spindle cutters. Early on, when I was getting the business up and running, I used Woods mowers primarily. My yearly repair cost was in excess of original purchase cost on many of the mowers I mentioned. I've since changed over to Bush Hog and Shulte brand mowers and have cut repair cost to less than 1/10th over the cost of the Woods mowers. This is based on (currently) 12 mowers and more hours in a season than most mowers see in a lifetime of personal use.
The Woods mowers I owned didn't even make it through second season of commercial use. (BB7200's, BB8400's) I have several 300 and 400 series Bush Hog mowers that are currently in 7th season with no signs of fatigue or failure.
When comparing batwing mowers, the advantage goes even more disproportionately to Bush Hog/Shulte/Rhino (Alamo Brand) Woods very best batwings don't compare to Bush Hogs lightest duty batwings.
It only took ONE Deere batwing to cross them off the list permanently.

Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
