love the way their seeds take and shoot. I taught my daughter that to catch a falling leaf in the autumn, and keep it until you catch another the following autumn,as it will bring good luck for the year.(things you teach kids)! watching the family scurrying around in a windy day to manage the task is a thing i look forward to each year!

From warm give it a bit of throttle, pull the choke out, turn it over to start it,and push the choke back in when she fires up. I only use the pull cord when im changing blades,iff you have to rely on the pull cord to start it, then one is either strong as an ox and not best suited to use modern plant, or the machine has a fault.

I have a tw125, I love its convenient weight for pushing it about, but WHY does the exhaust point straight down at the ground, burns any grass , marks drives,etc. fire risk in dry times maybe, i always place an ally sheet under that exhaust.what a pain to remember when you want to concentrate on the job.
