  1. Had many Browns over the Years and like yourself the Brakes come in use especially with a 3 furrow Ransomes for steering . Ste
  2. Exactly....fair old lump is Jenson but Brown is only light too ...much better now with just linkage . Ste
  3. Workshop day for me today ... .trying to finish my Front linkage on my old Brown . .front weights not a option has ridiculous prices and not practical. This old Farm Force will work a treat and will be able to put all my crap in front Instead of the cab .£150 Was a bargain . Still a lot to do to finish it.
  4. If I get to 55 then 3 days a week cutting old Grannies lawns and carrying on until I drop ...my pension is horiffic so I need to top it up . I may climb the odd Rhoddhendron now and then . Picked a Hernia up a 3 weeks ago and feels like my Mrs has a Voodoo doll and kicks it in the knackers when I piss her off ... maybe having a bit of time off sooner than I think lol. Ste
  5. 461 is like my Peugeot 205 GTI ...iconic machine ...nimble...light and very quick. Has with the pug 205 they will never make that same recipe again so grab a 461 before they ruin it! Forgot to add the word Fun has well ! Ste
  6. My 22hp Yanmar with a Italian made flail , steering wheel going mad has no hands . Ste
  7. Look out for Yanmars. ..absolute bullet proof , many out there with low hours min 22hp if you want to run a small flail . My little Yanmar has ran faultless for 7 years and put 700 hours grass cutting . Finishing mower and Flail mowing. You may pay more but maintenance of mowers is near zero compared to a Ride on mower ... been there and ate 4 ride on mowers before common sense hit me . Ste
  8. 25 of the most prolific murderes where left handed . Ste
  9. Don't bother with a ride on ....get yourself a Compact tractor and a flail mower ...Tractor will be more useful for other jobs . Ste
  10. After ten minutes or so I soon got the hang of the new layout ....just the same has switching from a Nokia Lumina to a Samsung phone ....recked my head. "Easy peasy lemon Squeezy" Ste
  11. I feel your pain. Without hi jacking your post i shall share a similar story myself ....same sceriano, cramming a extra job in before hols and tired . Happened 2 years ago and kept it quiet almost till now , these type of posts are a Good reminder how fragile our body is . A was and am a lucky man to still have a foot !! .I will not go into the details of what or how but the main Contribution was Tiredness and rushing .

  12. Bought my Stihl HSA 86 Hedgecutter in 2014 and no problems with gearbox and used almost daily on maintenance. Ste
  13. Viking mowers are excellent and very user friendly, 6 Series 4 wheeler is the dogs bollocks for wet/winter mowing. The roller mowers very much similar but if you come across a lot of deep Moss then the tiny rear roller does not cope well otherwise excellent. Parts and repairs cheap has chips but stay away from second hand well used mowers . Ste
  14. Just Google Hayter condor part list snd a PDF file will appear, failing that a good Belt supplier will work it out or I can try and take a picture of mine if it's still readable. Ste
  15. I use one of the straight shaft cordless strimmer everyday for edging and that's has far has it goes .....edging. They tie themselves in a knot on anything bigger. Absolutely great for maintenance. Ste
  16. Interesting to keep hearing from folk saying the more you keep charging the less time you get from your Battery .... .well coming up to 3 years and both Batteries are still has strong has when I bought them . Ste
  17. Works well for me , better balanced with the older lighter ap 115 battery. Had a few issues with the silly clamp ( on my 3rd ) the telescopic does move after age no matter how tight the clamp is . Throw your ladders away or you will end up Trimming trees. Ste
  18. Cracking mower and still a few late models knocking about , will cut 3ft tall grass and will cut a fine lawn and leave a good finish . I still run a Hydrostatic Condor and only replace sprockets on cutting deck and a few belts in 9 years. The Hydrostatic gearbox is a peach to use , older models were clunk click box . Harry the cat on e bay/here always has a few for sale . Ste
  19. [ATTACH]221948[/ATTACH] Wrap round handle has well . Ste
  20. Snap the old 461s up before they all go ....has Aldi say "once they are gone they gone ". Ste
  21. When I say a adjuster it's a fecking tiny hole at top to put screwdriver in and turn adjuster anti clockwise. Ste
  22. Have you disconnected the handbrake cable ?? There is a adjuster at 12 o'clock but apparently a Bitch to see ... Ste
  23. Warrington branch I use , I get a bit Giddy with the Yard been full of Diggers ,10 min trip for me . Ste
