Oh Dear, i rented mine out to a gardener/neighbour who had been doing some hedge work for a small care home.

He brought it back a bit sheepish this eve, said he had seized my engine!!! yikes i thought, turns out he got stuff stuck in the cassette but kept the engine going. The result, burnt out drive belts. I need it for a job tomorro morning!!!! Anyone know the model/type of the belts on the greenmechs? My markings have disappeared off them!

[Stephen Blair]

yikes!this is why i dont rent mine out, they are too sensetive and others dont care, what an idiot. did the stench of burning rubber not give it away. sorry theocus, i am on holiday but i can pm you peteb mobile if you like. my phone isnt getting signal to text it to you or call him for you mate

My little treebuster working it the back garden at the weekend.

Driving it in tight spaces is I think best with a very steady hand on the hydro-drive gripshift and correctly inflated tyres; when I first got it the tyres were too low and the machine was less predictable under power. The diff in the axle has a tendency to favour one wheel then the next so it's a chore to keep it straight. But SO much easier than pushing, pulling, huffing and puffing a non self propelled one

[Stephen Blair]

it certainly throws well, conny is the best by far for distance chipping
