    Lindum is very expensive. The other one is reasonably priced as it’s a drop in the ocean to them as they have the green waste from council bins contract

    I run the lawnflite kaaz deck machines. Your right about the turns I always cut a double pass around the edge so that other than on tight lawns I don’t have to let go of the drive lever so it just keeps moving and cutting a pain but fine once you are used to it

    As long as the gearbox stays in one piece!

    They seem to manage to get the camber wrong plenty of times round here too Some of the roundabouts are shocking! That being an example that happened right in front of me earlier in the year

    So to round up then. It’s fine for you as long as no one comes here but you can also do as you please? Also do you really think that no one else living there could do your job?

    Well you live somewhere you take up valuable housing and put pressure on services meaning locals can’t use these things..........

    Which makes you a hypocrite

    Thanks just wondering as I have a navara now.

    From what I remember they seemed to bend more easily than I thought they should. I never did anything about it as it was new and under warranty and besides that I hardly ever put more than a couple of hundred kg on it anyway.

    If that’s empty I don’t think it looks right either! Mine had to have a lot of weight to get down anything like that.
  11. Richard 1234
    Do they make the body bounce more when empty stubby? Thanks Richard

    I can’t remember exactly as I got rid of my l200 2 years ago but I do remember that the springs did squash down under not much weight. They also didn’t go too far when full either. Fairly normal I suspect. Can you post a picture?

    I was talking about the 700 not the 500. The 450 doesn’t look a bad machine to be fair but for a bit more than your £450 you can get the 700. Or at least get the 450 cheaper https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products/stihl-br-700-magnum-blower-64-8cc-4-mix/ https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products/stihl-br-450-c-ef-backpack-blower-63-3cc-electric-start/ You can get the blowers posted from some places

    Spend the extra £54 and get the br700. It’s a beast. No electric start though!

    Thinking on it caught a mouse last week (at least I think it was) only just caught the edge of it so no massive splatter just a dead mouse thankfully
  16. Richard 1234
    Stihl fs360 and up are good. The 410 and 460 are good all round machines

    Do all these immigrants need a whole house each?......

    I think you sum it up nicely. Work hard get good at something invest your time and money and it will pay off. It won’t be easy or quick to get there. Newly qualified teachers only get £11ph Admittedly with lots of holidays. But proves to me that a starting wage in this kind of work at 8.25 is not too bad as you can get “qualified” in weeks not years
  19. Richard 1234
    I’m glad that’s cleared up!
  20. Richard 1234
    Doubt it as I don’t go on it!!
  21. Richard 1234
    What ever way you voted should not really matter. If we don’t leave we might as well not have voted at all. we never got asked about a hard or soft brexit. I thought out meant out when I voted! out completely from all of it and start again like a divorce. on that subject why are we not getting a financial settlement from them?
  22. Richard 1234
    It does make me wonder why they are bothering to go this week after Donald Tusk has said there will be no breakthrough this week. Seems like a massive waste of time.
  23. Richard 1234
    We agree on something never thought I’d say that[emoji23][emoji23] TM needs to grow a pair and walk away this week until the EU get a grip and realise that it would be bad all round for no deal!
  24. Richard 1234
    It does make you wonder though. How can they dare try and charge you while at the same time paying nearly as little as is legal? You see this with the grass cutting for councils. Paying people £7.50 an hour to drive a £65k mower and then complain when the crash/ overheat and generally wreck it!
  25. Richard 1234
    Well that’s something I suppose! You are probably going to walk away! You can’t have that hanging over you
