  1. If you're looking for 5 tonne there is the Sprinter 5 tonne or the Iveco.
  2. hayter t424 is a 5 gang. A large firm I sub to uses them but the newest they have is a 57 plate. As long as the sites aren't too horrendous a cylinder would be the best bet.
  3. Never tried it to be honest. Just using Provantage 480.
  4. I find Roundup doesn't spread through Ivy very well? Or is it just my crap spraying? As long as you can spray all of it it should be fine.
  5. Those ramps to the side of it.
  6. They're 1 inch shaft on the stihls have been for years (I dont remember when they weren't). Issues I've had with kombi heads are not due to the shaft being weak.
  7. Might be the m-tronic has gone and isn't setting the carb right?
  8. How many bags are you putting in a hole? My local place does 25kg (or 20?) for £4.50. For 133 holes to cost 2k you're putting 3 bags in a hole?

    As you can clearly see officer I am just hauling black plastic.
  10. Got 2 been used basically daily for a year and have had no issues other than the black cap.
  11. the 94 is the 'new' 85
  12. You need a licence to do it commercially not to just use commercial products.
  13. I use the Stihl G500 (which is a 3m G500) Can get the visors here https://bndabrasives.co.uk/3m-g500-headgear-replacement-visors.html
  14. Still made a Kurz hedgetrimmer. You can undo the nuts and put a polesaw head on it like all the other headtrimmers. Dont think they sell just a shorter polesaw.
  15. The blocky bit on the shaft is just a 4 point anti vibe that most big brushcutters have Richard.
  16. With a spare 30 karabiners hang off the harness.
  17. Mk 6 was TDDI and then they offered TDCI engines alongside the TDDI. I think all mk7's are tdcis.
  18. 4mm is probably a bit too big for the Florabest anyway.
  19. You can't say that and not list the options.
  20. I don't know why they even bother mulching? If its a non collect contract just discharge it. Looks better in the wet as well if just discharged as the mower doesnt have time to grind it up as much
  21. I use these. S3 Safety shoes Willingen - engelbert strauss Light/comfortable and S3 rated.
  22. The few I've used have let you come down and in slightly on their own with no power (albeit very very slowly). Do modern ones not let you do that?
  23. Something which you change the blade on to mulch rather than put a plug in would be better. But never going to be as good as a dedicated.
  24. Surely you mean they did more work because after refueling the husky users had to wait for the saws to cool down so they could restart the saws and get back to work?

    In really stoney edges I just use edging shears near windows. Really isn't a noticeable time loss once you get used to how to use shears. Doesn't really work if the lawn is the same height as the border though.
