  1. I did Judo has a teenager and carried on till I was 30 , problem for me and the alike is we are knackered after a days work which can have dire consequences when having nage-waza and opposition then slaps you with a full IPPON score and you are then on your back hard . Got too BLUE Belt and struggled with knee and neck problems. Still have a valid Judo licence and my 8year old son does Jiu-jistu . Ste

  21. Like I say it does save time me has a one man band and only use it on 5 jobs or ten times a month but the time it knocks off yes . Its not a bad mower at all just wrong side of the Fish Pond . I reckon when I drop the blades a wee bit it will solve problems with uneven lawns and help the lazy gearbox not havin too drag it arse touching the floor all the time . Ste
  22. I run the Turf master and on second season ,hates wet grass ,hates cutting low on uneven lawn's but on a lovely dry even lawn That's not mossy it pisses over lawns in minutes but gearbox is lazy on mossy lawns . It does a lovely finish though so I pick and choose my jobs has it saves a few hours a week . It is a heavy mower and well built with a good Kawasaki engine ,I am in the process of making new spaces to lower blades too stop it grounding out on uneven lawns when cutting low . I have put a few pics on here too. Has said there are a domestic and commercial units . Don't expect it to have the same effect has a Honda with the wind . I think it was designed for the American market in dry states . Ste
