Estou interessado na compra de uma destas máquinas, gcv 170 mas preciso saber quais as suas reais capacidades, pois tenho dúvidas. Tenho uma Wusqvarn modelo R52S com 2,4 kw e 2950 rpm. Que me pode dar esta máquina emcomparação com a que tenho? Obrigado. A.Fernandes.

Good day, I’m just asking, because we are looking for a mower engine, vertical motor 190cc or higher than that. Thankyou!
