  8. In the brochures they push it has a City van and its turning circle is like a Tx taxi literally so that may explain its shininess to grass. My other option is I have a older model L9 52plate which I bought has a temporary(LITERALLY TEMPORARY blew engine in 3weeks) van while I rebuilt mine after a crash is too whizz the diff out of that but it is a slight whine off that and I am sure that had a LSD ,just don't fancy doing that .

    Stihl 4mix

    I have a long reach stihl 4mix headgecutter from new for 6years now and used daily without any issues what so ever,still got same plug in ,original air filter (cleaned regularly) and it starts without the choke all the time but there is only me that uses it and only me that mixes the fuel . Quality bit of kit it is . Ste

  25. One of them days..........digger job today,20 ton of MOT and Road chippings to level out and grade ,day start with hideous traffic queue's because of new Runcorn Widnes bridge ,battery gave up before I started on digger even though I loaded night before and customers van had a flat battery has well . Then tyre ripped on dumper probably the crap in the MOT and to finish day off engine mount bracket has snapped on digger (could have something to do with the violent shake when I accidentally put petrol in digger on last Job).
