I wouldn't have a smart meter, it's of no benefit to me. I'm sure the day will come when it will no longer be optional. I don't think we've had a meter reader call round for a few years now anyway!

Yes got a few here for the first time this year, can't believe the size of the plants, they're really taking over! No pics as camera is kaput

One thing to consider is the weight, do you have to lift the mower, or do you have a ramp? The kaaz mowers are good (pricey) but over 60kgs! I had a go on a stihl rm253 recently, felt kind of flimsy? Probably no better or worse than any other mower at that price range.

For future reference, if you want to get rid of a bird of prey nest on your land, the cost is £100 and half a days wage for your labourer

|f you've got much to do you might be better looking at diesel than petrol, whether that's it's own engine or running off a tractor pto.

That should help with the UK obesity problem, there'll be less of them next year!

I don't know what models they do, but a lot of them are single rear wheel, so slightly higher overall payload, but potentially a lower rear axle gross weight

Sorry to derail a thread on Sweeden! This was a local loch, about 9pm last night. I'm not much of a swimmer, but I like going for a bob about, and it's important to have a wash every now and then
-
Looks great, can't believe how warm it is. Plenty of swimming opportunities round here but I think you'd be lucky if the water temp was half that!

It's the same with nessie! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@57.4088896,-4.3382514,3a,23.2y,20.83h,81.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0WAJVFnhnOVNrFDQQICV3A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB

Whatever you do, don't make any Nelson Mandela jokes Locked up for EIGHT hours for telling Nelson Mandela joke - Daily Star WWW.DAILYSTAR.CO.UK A SHOP boss was arrested and quizzed by police for eight hours for cracking Nelson Mandela jokes on the internet.

What about wheels off another (scrap) mower?

Just incase you bought a Kubota GR1600 second hand and miss out on the letter, there is a recall on some of the rear wheels Kubota GR1600 Wheel Recall Form WWW.KUBOTAGR1600CHECK.COM Kubota GR1600 Wheel Recall Form

Don't want to get in to a debate about different machinery brands but have a look at the husky 535irx strimmer, it's "apparently" 1.5kw, certainly feels it anyway. Don't know what stock levels of machines and batteries are like in this country.

I've got the GTM "elephants trunk" (oo-er) It's ok, have never used an easy lift harness to compare. Now fairly defunct with the onset of backpack battery hedgecutting

There's only 2 things certain in life, death and taxes. Unless you're John MacAfee, then there's only death.

Just a heads up, if anyone in the Moray area needs 2nd hand tree tubes for your own planting. There is a pile of them in Moray Waste Busters at the recycling centre over the new railway bridge in Forres.

Have a look at https://www.towingandtrailers.com/ , have used them before

For slug control, I just let the staff do it

Doesn't bother me, but looking at the photo you can see why a local busy body would complain about having all the kit parked in the front of a house on a 'quiet' residential street, especially with workers coming and going

Just one of those days, when you're struggling with life

I currently have 3 different stimmer/brushcutters. 2stroke 52cc (Kawasaki) 4stroke 50cc (Honda) 36v Husky 535 The one that gets the most use, and earns the most money for me, is the husky battery machine. It's been on 2.7mm square line from new, nearly 18mths now. Low vibe, low noise, low running costs, no exhaust fumes, really nice balance to it (with bli300 battery) I've never used a Stihl fs70, but if it's 27cc then the Husky battery 535 will be a good bit more powerful. The inverter would be no use for battery charging, you need mains power. Agree with Dumper, look at all the tools available in each battery system.

Bump! Not obvious at first, the guy on the bike was lucky, he had his pannier ripped clean off
