  1. my mate brought his saw for me to look at, seized,lots of transfer on the pot but not too much scoring,checked plug and was normal biscuit colour and he said it wasnt revving high beforehand so im assuming it was his crap fuel, it smelt a bit funny/stale Ordered a meteor kit for it, but before i fit it ,is there anything else to check ? Cheers
  2. I need a new stick strimmer, ie not cowhorn,30-35cc husky don't make the 335 anymore,not keen on stihl 4 mix, so what alternatives are out there ? I have husky 325 rxt and jonsered 2245 , so looking for something in the middle. Opinions please and thank you Mike

    One man auger

    Absolutely useless unless in very soft ground, totally agree with the above comments !
  7. ive got an old jonsered 2077 with a 24" bar and chain, 77 cc, good old saw pm me if you want a price, there is a bit of damage to the rear handle but dosent affect the way the saw works,chain brake is working,oils ok etc Mike
  8. Ive been a bit out of the loop for a while so here goes meter price for stock fence,1.2 m high stock wire,3 strands of barb,bottom strand will be top line of stock wire,with 2 over the stock wire.so 1.5m finished height 166m pull to corner,12m return, then 222m to gate post(slight curve) then 56m to end. All of the above has old stock fence which needs to be pulled out (0.75p) per meter ??????? Fairly good access , some is near cliff/beach so ground is sandy/stony/shite Any thoughts please Mike
  9. i think treegeek on here had similar issues,i seem to remember his bar was bent/dragging, brand new bar aswell !

    lawn feed ?

    it is 1600 sq m of turf so not a 2 minute job, the thing that worries me is it was only laid in april and looks awful already, ive cut it 5 times so far

    lawn feed ?

    the turf wasnt laid by me,ive just got the contract to maintain the grounds,i have got just about everything possible emerging through the turf,half bats,concrete,plastic,bits of arris rail etc, Just found out that the turf has been watered,but what appears to be happening on closer inspection is some grass is very green and long where as the rest is green but not as green as the long stuff, giving the impression that the other grass is yellow, if that makes sense. the " yellow " grass also appears to be in straight lines ie squares so i reckon there is some kind of footing/shed base/old structure underneath the ground, could do with an aeriel photo i think cheers for replies, im going to up the watering
