45cc or bigger Stihl/Husqvarna brushcutter with a mulch blade

Weibang with high lift blades and a little throttle tweak, mine will cut 6 inch long , soaking wet grass ang bag no problem all day, under a grand aswell, ive put mine through 18 inch plus grass with the side chute on, fantastic bits of kit

Looking at the stihl raintec, any good , pros cons, what do you recommend ? Dont want the weight of a wax jacket Cheers

looking at some mulching mowers with side discharge built in

Prefer a straight shaft strimmer for the churchyards, more manouverable, and a hand blower works fine, just need a small boy to help out !!

Thanks for all the replys, only trouble with the hayterette is that there is no drive, im 55 so not wanting to push a mower for 7 hours a day, one of the churchyards is on a hill too, im knackered with a driven mower at the end of the day, 30 odd years at it has taken its toll on my poor knees etc

Have picked up 3 churchyard contracts and a few other rough cut jobs so far this year, all just cut and leave,too uneven for my toro timemaster, any suggestions on what would be the best mower, would be nice to have the option to bag aswell, looking at the shaft drive 21 inch weibangs, any thoughts, i know etesia are the dogs dangly bits but out of my price range Cheers

Have got behind this year, would it hurt to cut a large,well established yew hedge, approx 25 years old, now, would frost do any damage etc Any thoughts Cheers Mike

Has anyone had any experience with the bigger engined stiga brushcutters Reliability, parts, attachment choice etc Cheers Mike

Got my epipens today, so feel a bit better knowing i have some emergency back up

Im still waiting for dr appiontment 5 days after my experience even though i have told them what happened

Apart from the nest i disturbed and got stung, i found 3 nests all within 60 yards of each other, one really small wasps and 2 bigger ones, one nest was 8 - 10 inches across

Useful info there, thank you

A bit random but stay with me I wear these safety glasses while strimming, hedge cutting etc Twice now i have been stung on the ear by a wasp, yesterday i had a bad reaction and ended up flat out on a lawn where the owner found me and called an ambulance, im now waiting on doctors phone call to test me for allergy to wasp stings Firstly , would getting stung on the ear be worse than other places and thats why i reacted badly ( first time i have had bad reaction ) ?? And secondly would these glasses and logo in particular look like another wasp/hornet/bee and thats why my ear was stung ?? Any thoughts on this Cheers

Thinking about the above, cam belt or chain ? clutch and dual mass flywheel longevity , looking at a 80000 miles van, any thoughts/ experiences with them Cheers in advance
