"If its really wet i have to stick a pair of gloves on and tip it slightly and scrape it off by hand maybe twice a day, If i neglect it and it dries I use a plastic scraper (my own fault for neglecting it, the deck on the 5 year old push 248( and st…"
"Thanks Paul. Sounds like you have a similar round to me, although I don't do quite so many! The fabric bag of the Izy is so hopeless with wet grass, I have even thought about trying to make a hard box for it (didn't get anywhere though).
How do you…"

"I dont know about the roller mowers but I knock out over 50 small domestic gardens a week using the Viking/Stihl 248t and it has been in only once for a drive problem (cost about 30 quid. I service them myself ( have a push version as well) and the…"
" I'll say that I've done sites much bigger than that for under £8000 and still made very good money from them. I'd suggest another site visit or two and take your time walking around imagining the tasks."
" 8500 seems way too high to me and i do contracts were i there all day long. I would say it could even be under half that price. "
"thank you for the advice "
"I started a grounds maintenance business some 40 years ago, initially for domestic customers soon realising that there was little money to be made from customers requesting an hourly rate. We now maintain primarily commercial sites of up to 30 acres…"

"I have done before and after treatment . after is best and it takes a little longer if moss is thicker but its a lot better than brushing or scraping by hand"
"guy's .... youre all doing it wrong ... everybody and their grannie knows that the only valid way to charge for gardening is by an hourly rate ... 8 pounds an hour but its cash in hand and you can use their 30 year old black n decker"
"You misunderstood...I'm yanking YOUR chain!"
"I don’t know about ‘yanked chains’ Dan. I was actually trying to support your comments, posted today, that we can all do things differently. I won’t bother next time.

Read more…Stiga cordless
Does anyone have any experience of using Stiga Cordless tools , particularly the cordless long reach hedge trimmers ? I was looking at buying a stihl cordless HLA56 long reach when i got distracted by a Stiga SMT 500 48 v multi tool comprising of hedge trimmer and chainsaw accessory in a showroom . What i like about it is the telescopic pole which feels sturdy fully extended , Alternatively its not much for a stihl extension shaft to fit the HLA 56 . The stiga deal works out at more money…

Read more…Stihl Kombi Brush
I am considering buying the Kombi Brush attachment. I have a couple of jobsthat require a lot of brushing - 2 car parks. One car park has a lot of pine needles that have been left for a long time and and a normal brush won't move them. I have looked at a couple of videos online and cannot make up my mind how effective the brushes are. Has anyone actually got one and is it any good? If so, what do you tend to use it for. Thanks.

Read more…Bessertrim brushcutters
Hi all.Our echo brush cutter after 7 years of abuse is now beyond economical repair. I was going to plump for the exact same new model, but knowing parts can be pricey I've vaguely thought about purchasing a different brand. My newest employee suggested a model from Bessertrim, currently with the Mitsubishi TL 26 or 33 engine. I've personally never come across them, and there's very little info online to go with. I wondered if anyone had any experience of their stuff or had dealt with them.
