Something a little different today pics

Always done turf aswell as timber; dodgy shoulder meant getting a mate to help get this job done with as little pain as poss! Cut, scarify, hoover, mow, aerate. Weather was 'ansome atleast..

Good to see your keeping on top of things TCD, good on ya for pushing on regardless, just be carefull and dont push too hard, it aint worth it.

More...

Ariens mower has Kawasaki engine with full pressure lubrication and spin on filter.

Bannerman scarifier is quality and has swinging knives.

Sisis aerator is old but solid; they cost an eye watering £5k new.

John, what's the tree in the third last shot.

Can't really tell, Mulberry?

Yep, Mulberry it is; a seriously old one I would hazard. Propped up limbs v precarious with very non-purpose lengths of softwood, one of which is sinking into the limb or should I say the limb is growing around it. The garden shown has some 6 acres or so of nice trees; an 80' silver maple, some nothofagus. Not mad on those massive Mackies mind! West Devon is plastered with em!

Bit of an old thread I know. How did you get on with the ariens mower with the caster wheels. Im thinking of getting on next year.

A long shot but I have a non-running Sisis Trio Rotorake in my shed. Free to anyone who wants it. Be aware though that it's a lump and is not self-propelled.

TCD: a bit of a hijack - apologies - but if you know anyone your way I could deliver next time I visit Devon.

Second thoughts Jon it will only sit in the shed for years until I got time to tinker, better to let it go to someone who could make better use of it.

Darn!

Pat, it went into a large garden machinery place a couple of years ago and they fobbed me off. Apparently it needs points and condenser but they didn't know which ones to get as there was no number on the B&S engine!

The machine's from the 80s but the engine is a year 2000 replacement.
