  1. Have a HiLux 3.0 200 auto, great for towing, mpg isn't as bad as the last pick up we had D22 but both love the tail ends to come round to see you if roads wet, makes for some interesting times lol.
  2. As mentioned earlier in thread labour price works out at roughly twice your material costs after adding on for delivery, profit etc, turf depending on what you have to do to area, make sure you get drainage sorted out before laying turf, if rotovating, removing large stones & levelling off before putting turf a fair task which will take a fair length of time.
  3. Another for Ringlink, also for Brian top lad (but never answers his phone) unless he has changed his number LOL. Did training out at Newmachar.
  4. Used an old Masport for years never let us down, went & bought an etesia (I know not a roller but collection in wet is far superior) closest to that for collection was a Rover again not a rear roller, etesia are now producing a roller attachment for the 46 model but seriously expensive, viking are good in the wet but reliability is a known issue for professional users, Lawnflite is one we are looking at along with etesia with roller attachment for this season, demo'd the etesia 46 once again great collection, to combat weight when lifting over steps or taking out of van always carry a piece of ply for this reason.
  5. We have an older iseki SGR22 with a 48" deck great for cutting in the wet (ideal for UK) with a high lift , the blower attachment solves it to a point, only fault in this machine is the chute between the deck & collector gets clogged up, the SXG range of iseki has addressed this with a larger collection chute which doesn't clog up, depending on budget would go for iseki every time, have demo'd kubota imo not as good, looking to sell SGR & upgrade to a SXG this season.
  6. Quick question we have also encountered this via trying to get access to forest to cut down harvested wood to a manageable size, completed CS30 & CS31 in 2012, any info advice much appreciated..
  7. Have an Iseki, older model SGR 22 picks up well in the wet, has a hydraulic high tipper (no manual emptying of grass collector), if we're looking to buy another would go Iseki SXG 19 or bigger, just depends on your budget !
