Rotovators

[hedgesparrow]

i did try a husky local husky dealer tried selling me one when i went in for a new saw!!

 

he saw my camon c10 rotovator on the back of my pick up & offered the husky rotovator as a demo it was not a bad machine & from what i can remeber it was not too bad a price!

but what i can tell you & gurantee it is that my c10 is now 12 years old i`v had it the last 10 years i got it off another landscaper who had used it for 2 years turfing new build housing estates it had been well used but well looked after

 

in the last 10 years it has rotovated tens of thousands of sq meters ready for turfing & has only just started giving a little grief the list goes; broken deadmans handle, clutch is stuck in drive so it is all or nowt! blades are well worn (there still the orignials) & the 10 horse honda is starting to feel like it is losing compression the starter rope is really easy to pull but still starts no problem & runs fine i just rotovated & turfed 40 sq meters this morning with it!

in the last ten years of abuse (used hard & put away wet) by myself & the reprebates i call workmates it has never had a spanner on it thats probs why it is like it is now!!!!

i dont know weather to put it right or just go buy another new one!!!!

if i do buy new i wont be buying the husky it will be another c10 they really do take the abuse!

i had a c8 prior to getting the c10 the 10 gets the job done a lot quicker than the 8 but is sometimes a little hard to get into back gardens down narrow paths which the 8 would sail down un hindered

 

its like buying any new kit the final decision boils down to what do you think is right for you i got a c8 cos thats what i had been hiring & liked the way they performed & i had never had one break down & thought it the best decision for me!!!

 

why not try hiring a husky & see how you like it?

or do a comparison test hire one of each & try them side by side expensive i know but would determine which you prefer!

Big dave the clutch on them is a doddle to replace. just take rotavator box off. split engine with gearbox and there is the clutch unscrews i believe anti clockwise. put new on on and bolt engine to gearbox job done. hour to do. blades can change a set in a hour. new set comes with new bolts and nuts.

did have a new clutch for one will have a dig round if i find it will pm you
