Shot out this morning to pick chipper up and forgot my steel jerry can for Diesel, so in my wisdom used a green petrol can to get by . Rushing to beat the rain at site i grab A green petrol can (carry 2 green for mowers and red for mix) and DUNK it in the DIGGER ................. petrol ! . Am still kicking myself now ,thought i got away with it but no cough cough stop. 2 hours that silly mistake cost me . Ste

Bought this mower 4 months ago and its been a life saver,knocks over 4 hours off my work load a week and not too mention trips too wheelie bin AND MY LEGS ,still manages a stripe and The customers love the fine finish . It is for well maintained lawns and does not like tall grass Bad points are it hates deep mossy lawns like most four wheel mowers. When cutting wet grass you have too keep grass box lid open . Have not tried the mulching plug has not a big fan of them and the side discharge chute is OK. Major plus point is its short length means it will fit in my swb Iveco and still fit me Hayter/Honda roller mowers . Ste [ATTACH]166248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]166249[/ATTACH]

Dont do enough miles too justify GAS ,Only use it for work if me trailer is still full from previous job or if my van ever lets me down but mainly for leisure time at weekends . 8 years on and never missed a beat and i tried to kill the auto box going too Flamingo land via scenic route with a silly caravan behind . I still say GAS kills a big engine and i just love the noise it belts out . Ste

5.4L v8 engine single figures Around town Terrible ,shocking ,heartburn every time i pull in to a petrol station (£120 Gets half a tank) . On motorway much better 12-15 towing and no need to rev above 2500 rpm . The Diesel engines are worse has they are 7.3L,6.0L or 6.4L on newer models . The older 7.3 is the best motor fitted has the 6.0L has cost FORD millions in buy backs has after 30 thou they go bang . Ste

What make of Tractor ? It should have a pipe near the top link pin and may have a blank fitted and most compact tractor trailers are one way rams so a easy job to sort . My Yanmar has a tipping pipe on but its fitted with a blank and just needs a snap on spool or fit the older screw on valve which i prefer . Ste
