Husqvarna TF 325 (no longer needed)
Hi people,Last year I bought several pieces of equipment including a TF 325 tiller. It's been built but never used, infact- I haven't even put oil or petrol in it, nor have I started it. It's been sitting in my shed since September last year. If anyone's interested, get in touch. Due to weight, collection only in Norfolk area. Looks like they are approx £600 new, so would be happy to consider £500 ONOBest wishes M

Charging Stihl tools from the van
So I'm doing some light domestic work using mostly Stihl AK powered gardening tools, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a way to charge them up between jobs whilst driving between jobs. There's probably a very obvious way of doing it but I've just moved house and haven't been doing my best thinking due to lack of sleep.Thanks all.

Lawn / soil problem
Hello all,my son has started a landscaping business. He's had a few jobs. The one we priced and is working on is a new build. The garden is pretty big, about 450m2.Our quote was to seed it, plant a hedge at the back and create a border around with pro-edge filled with bark / wood chippings. We have rotavated it numerous times with Sthil mh585. I thought they should have had 100mm of decent topsoil but all we have is rock hard clay. One part of the garden is so wet you could go knee deep. I have…

Honda or Masport?
Looking for lightish roller mower, not battery!Anyone using Honda 476 QY 19 inch or Masport rotorla 22 inch ? Both similar weight, looking at the Masport don't like the handle bracing bar which runs between the 2 vertical handles and looks like it will make it awkward to get the grass box on and off and no blade brake but the discharge chute lot wider than the Honda so wet collection better?Not interested in Hayter 48 vs bbc or 48 pro both crap, had both and sold them.Appreciate users thoughts…

Lawn issues
Im after some advice regarding a lawn issue. A customer had spoken to me regarding their front lawn that really struggled to put on any growth at all even during spring time. I suggested that because the house is a new build, although built a number of years ago now that it probably has rubbish under the soil. The customer explained that they had the garden dug up and tonnes of fresh top soil put down by a landscaping company. I suggested that the lawn may be compacted as the soil was put down…

Battery hedgcutter advice
Hi all,I have recently retired properly from my self employed gardening business, although I still do a few bits! I’m now faced with upkeeping my own property of 1.5 acres, plenty of everything, grass, hedges, overgrown bits etc etc.Previous work has really taken its toll on my knees and upper arms (long reach hedge trimming) as well as advancing years. Initially I’m sticking with my old equipment, nearly all petrol, but the first thing I want is a lightweight, battery powered hedge trimmer. I…
