  1. Cheers for reply Andy.Some great mods there Biilhook.
  2. Sorry to hijack thread. Have a question for Andy, why would you remove auto split trip, reason I am asking is we have a 600 that for some reason we have an issue as auto split sometimes works sometimes doesn’t after cutting.Ram will operate but not return, have to pull lever. Any advice? Cheers
  3. Just looking to see what's about & came across it, we already have a rock splitter, but looking to buy a processor, pal has a tajfun which is an amazing bit of kit, he also has a Hakki pilki eagle which is also a tidy wee machine,at tentative stage just now.
  4. Anyone any info on above processor?On checking specs look quite good for a 1st machine. Any info must appreciated.
  5. We have two Etesias one the Pro 51x & the other a 46 pro model, both are pretty good at picking up in the wet, we also have a trusty Rover which was purchased some time ago which is bullet proof, any local dealers to you for a demo?
  6. Have seen a Scag with twin wheels in action awesome piece of kit, was used to mow bank alongside an artificial ski slope, we purchased last year a ferris with Kawasaki engine, obliterated everything gorse, grass , cost all in including a service was just under £400 paid for itself in a couple of jobs.
  7. Would recommend an Etesia if self propelled, pick up whether it be wet grass is phenomenal, the new ones have a mulching kit, which we use, only downside that the bigger ones are heavy machines, we also have a Viking roller which up until now has served us well, also an old Rover which is bullet proof. Spoilt for choice really, but based on our own experience would recommend. We have an Iseki SGR ride on for commercial work, great pick up & finish.
  8. +1 for Dolmar, purchased a few months ago with some great features, easy start & heated grip.
  9. If turf recently laid wouldn't use a Ferris or anything like it, how are the soil conditions , drainage good? We run Etesias, Viking roller mower had to admit to being a bit sceptical about Viking but concede good striped finish & wet collection good & an old Rover 460 Procut which is bullet proof, any of these would do the job, pity you're not nearer ultimately don't try & cut all the grass in one go , possibly cut high & return a few days/week later to finish off cutting, probably know that but worth highlighting again as have seen so many try & cut in one passing.
  10. We have a 2004 Iseki SGR22 only issue has been chute clogging up, the later SXG solved that problem with a bigger chute & no blower belt to change, not aware of any issues with them we run Etesia pedestrian mowers & the collection in wet is superb would imagine the ride on performance to be similar, all depends ultimately on what your budget is ?
  11. Have tried contacting W Haines as he is selling his processor, cannot seem to make contact am I missing something, have tried PM with no success, hopefully he will be browsing & get in touch.
  12.  

    <p>Morning Steve</p>

    <p>I have tried contacting the member about the mobile wp36 processor not sure if he has been receiving would it be possible to get contact details from the lad, apologies for contacting in this way but seems only way of doing so.</p>

    <p>Cheers</p>

  13. Good advice re price per job as opposed to per hour, if you do a good job there should be no issues, too many fall in to trap of pricing per hour , do not disclose hourly rate or you will have client clock watching & querying , hourly rate should be based on overhead costs, fuel for machines, travel time, PL insurance & others need to be added provided this is to be main source of income, which will hopefully work out for the lad.
  14. Took one out on demo last year, waiting for new one to arrive as ordered up, we run a pro51 but just too heavy for lawns.
