    Hi thanks for that. I can't seem to find out if they come with a double harness? I need the anti vibe as its carried and used for hours at a time. Is that the smaller of the 2 with the anti vibe?
  2. Richard 1234
    I'm more interested in the anti vibe than outright power as its for strimming round street furniture not heavy brush cutting. I've got access to a flail for any heavy going stuff!

    Yes I'm leaning towards the stihl. Just can't decide if the stihl is worth twice the money?

    Hi all I'm looking at getting a new Brushcutter this year and I've stumbled across some stiga models with Kawasaki engines and the anti vibe just wondering if anyone had used one? Thanks in advance

    Talking of mowers have you got any etesias in at the minute looking for a pro 46 I think

    Get the revs checked when you buy it. No doubt they will be set fairly low. I'd keep revs down for at least a few weeks if not the whole warranty period then after that I'd be turning it up!

    I'd check oil level is right and check for any obvious leaks. If no leaks appear run on Rickover for a bit and the light may go out. It can take a while got the computer to realise you've topped oil up. Do get a mechanic to check it out though!

    Another way of looking at it is how much you need to be taking in a week to cover costs including paying yourself and some profit. Split into 32 or so hours as you will have travel time to consider as well. That will give you an idea. Make sure to add all costs. insurance etc need to be accounted for. It's an eye opener

    Oh ok didn't know that mines the 21 inch model

    Not tried it on the lawnflite yet as I've not put the kit on yet. But I know it works on my Honda mowers so no reason to think it won't on this
  11. Richard 1234
    No you fit the upper blade and insert/ take out the plug. That's the lawnflite version anyway

    You can only charge what the local economy can sustain

    Yes but remember with tipper conversion it's easy to overload.

    😂😂😂😂 I'm fed up with it if I'm honest. I know it sounds bad to complain about earning money.... But when the grass cutting season over runs like it has this time it throws everything else out of sync. I still have hedges to cut which should have been done ages ago. Then normal winter stuff gets pushed back. It will be March soon and the whole thing start again!

    Has he actually told you this? If not have a chat with him it's surprising what you may get out of him if you show you are willing to learn!

    As long as it's not cut too short it's fine It's not going to kill it! Don't like doing it but needs must! Next week is a full week on the mowers for me if it stays dry.
  17. Richard 1234
    Fair enough if I'm honest I've never played the game that's why I'm clueless
  18. Richard 1234
    Most of the lawns I cut look best with setting as 1 notch from lowest on the back and 2 from lowest on front. Whatever height that is(Honda mowers) Ride on is set at 1/4 inch for sports pitches

    They are a known "company". Contracts managers for big contracts may be frightened to use smaller unknown companies as if it all goes wrong who gets the blame?
  20. Richard 1234
    Just wondering that's all😬😬

    Don't get me wrong I loved the farm. Loads for a young lad to get up to. Driving tractors from 13 and all sorts of stuff!!

    Why Wordpress?

    What puzzles me is how going abroad on holiday became seen as a right. When I was a kid we went away in a crappy caravan. Had 1 holiday in Spain when about 14. But then we lived on a farm and you can't just bugger of at harvest time. Dad used to drive the caravan somewhere stay overnight then go back home to work and then fetch us home at the end!

    Try starting with parish councils. Build some credibility with them.

    Supply and demand unfortunately. My wife's a teacher so we have no other option. But if I did I would pay the fine!
