"An open association like LJN is just a remarkable place. What you pay per year for what you get out of it is astonishing, and speaking personally, LJN has helped guide me from a new start up business into 5 years of profitable trading and I don't think I could have done that without access to the forum and the great contributors to it."

Echo DHCAS 2600HD Review

As promised review of above- having being used to the likes of Stihl 92ce and Echo petrol hedge cutters was expecting to be underwelmed by this battery machine which was bought purely on the basis of weight. I was wrong. This machine is awesome and is the best I have used in over 40 years in the trade. So many of these battery cutters have the motor at the blade end which make them front end heavy. The Echo motor is at the battery end it is beautifully balanced. Cutting performance is equal to…

Echo DHCA 2600 HD

Now in retirement mode and as previously.posted been looking for a cordless long reach and was going to buy something at the budget end,but as they all have the motor at the blade end making them very unbalanced along with slow blade speeds and very limited cutting capacity etc decided to go for a pro model.The motor at the blade end is a deal breaker for me as even with the so called "balancing out" effect of the battery weight they all seem front end heavy.So arrived at the Echo dhca 2600…

Cordless drill

Now in retirement mode so dug out my old cordless drill that was bought from Argos a long time sgo for £10 to start all those jobs that have been put off.

Sloping kerb detail.

Hi all.We have a plan to transform our front garden into a driveway. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say transform the garden into somewhere to park our two cars. We have decided to install grass reinforcement grids, rather than a non permeable system. I will probably as more on the prep work required for this job later. If someone wants to detail the prep work now, that would be much appreciated. But for now i'm thinking about the transition from the tarmac drive onto our new grass grid…

Stiga 955

Hi all. I have a Stiga 955 purchased 14 months ago. It gets used maybe 4 hours weekly. Almost a year to the day the drive belt went on it, so I put a new one on. Two months later with maybe 30 hours use the bloody thing has gone again. Does anyone else have this issue with the 955? Commercial warranty was 90 days so no help from the dealership (belts & cables are consumables) So 14 months after spending £1k on it I am now looking at getting rid of it with probably well under 200 hours on it. I…
