  1. If they paid for all equipment they would be self employed or sub contracting wouldn't they? The equipment and responsibility is why business owners make more money.
  2. Disagree. If the guy wants to pay fine let him . I would still want crediting on both video and website.
  3. Could you not get him to credit you on the video and on the webpage? That should be good for your reputation.
  4. I'd use it, big job though getting it right with as many machines as possible
  5. I work in 3 church yards maintains grass and hedges etc. I think they are great no one bothers you. you just go and do what you need to do when it suits you. Small issue is it takes about 6-7 weeks to get paid as they seem to have bi monthly meetings and cheques need 2 signatures.

    Battery

    The battery on my l200 ran flat last Christmas got it checked out. The guy did not even get the tester out as he took one look and the battery was only half full. Topped up and went for a 10 mile or so run in it. It worked fine after so I think I was lucky it was no knackered
  7. The hydro 4 wheeler is different and it's not going to wear like the roller version. The roller has only 1 speed really as it has slow revs for warm up the engine and then fast for actually mowing that's what I'm told the 2 setting are for anyway.😬😬 Just making sure there are no leaks in hydro system is the thing to look for. Maybe change the hydro oil?
  8. Another thing with the big Honda is to ensure the drive Spring/cable arrangement is properly adjusted as if it's not the dog teeth in the gearbox wear causing gearbox failure It's the same on the other kaaz clones . I've got the lawnflite version. Nearly identical just slightly different handles etc
  9. Sounds likes it's got an earth/ shorting issue going on. Loose connection
  10. Bbc says its "bitterly cold next week"
  11. I only know the mileage on wife's car tyres as it was an mot thing. 1 front failed the other was advisory so both got changed to pass the test.
  12. Are there even any legal rules on this for the top handles? I've no interest in climbing a tree full stop by the way and would not want a top handle saw as the ms170 I use now and then is dangerous enough for me😡😡
  13. I changed the fronts on my wife C1 at about 20000 as well. Back tyre still fine at 25000
  14. Thought it was a bit of an obscure one. I have heard that some of the weibangs are ok. Not sure I'd spend my money on one though!
  15. What's the mower in between the Hondas and the Vikings?
  16. I'm just fat I think 5'11 and 15 and s half. Only 34 waist though
  17. Why don't they like a ride on mowers finish?
  18. New stockist just east of Lincoln opened today . It's at Langworth if anyone is interested.
  19. They soon add up as well if you only buy 1 a year it adds up I've added 4 this last year. Having spare mowers is great. I carry 2 on the truck and if 1 breaks either use the other or at worst go and swop if the spare on truck is wrong for the job. I only travel a maximum of 5 miles from home anyway.
  20. It's all wrong. I should be putting my feet up, servicing the machines finishing tax return(must do it this week) yet I've got at least 3 weeks work to get to. I want the winter to arrive😬😬
  21. I had to wait for windscreen to defrost for the first time this winter
  22. Another tip is to make sure your email address is tied into your url. As in doobop@skyline not doobop @ yahoo.com I see vans round here with company websites listed followed by email james158@gmail. com or the like and it looks daft
  23. It must be tough doing tree work alone and is it not even dangerous at times?
