  1. i tossed and turned about getting my 660 done.. just thought stuff it and got it done. now i wish i did it months ago did my little 135 myself and i actually now pick it up before my 560 for anything upto 6" so just get it done
  2. this thread has to come up just after i've made mine so you can use it with 1 hand !!
  3. yeah i'm just trying to be positive as we have our second disco 4 now... did 88k or something on the first and new one is on 25k just hoping we aren't going to have this problem! yes, be interesting if anyone does know anything on the what's the course....
  4. there has been engine failures on these but then think about the amount of disco 4's you see and keep that in mind. there is loads on the road so there is going to seem to be more failures than other vehicles vehicles that you don't see many of, also have failures but due to there being less, failures are going to seem less!! so with this in mind, are they the as bad as alot make them out to be? so looking at the amount of these vehicles as a % and the amount of failures of the total amount of disco 4's as a % it probably is the same as most vehicles landrover sales are only going up all the time so they must be doing something right.... confession, i'm a landrover lover...
  5. i have been told that they will be bringing out 3 sizes again, the biggest being based on a RR or disco 5 chassis and then down from there. but they'll probably be seriously expensive but they'll still probably sell loads!!
  6. it's the T5 one, middle of the range i think or something like that anyway....
  7. yup i brought it! i spoke to 3 people that carry out all mower repair work etc, and they all said they are good machines. one said he rates them just below kubota overall, he said the chassis are very good and better than stiga. i can also second the fact that i was told they are basically stihl mowers and made by them and they make quality stuff the main reason people don't like them is just because of the colour!!! lets see how it goes.... thanks
  8. going to look at one tomorrow, any advice or anything? don't see hardly any but been told they are good grateful for any advice cheers

  20. not really no, there is a little bit on it online but not much did see this picture tho Stihl MS500i 80cc 5kw(6.8 hp)
  21. here goes...... what's everyone's thoughts on this!? sounds pretty good to me.... more power than a 661 but weighs less than a 461 let's just hope it's more reliable than a 550!!
  22. what about getting a decent second hand ms261 for the moment and when the time is right get a husky 560 i wouldn't go down the 550 route as a lot seem to have problems with them
