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…

Anyone used a Etesia hydro 80 (Bahia)
Desperately need a ride on, the etesia hydro/ Bahia will be ideal because it fits all the sites I would use it and almost any garden gate. My question is how low does it cut , looking at the specs is says 44mm which doesn't sound very short. I know there's plenty of people on here with experience with them so your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. I normally cut with a Honda hrx537 on 1.5 or 2 but spec for this mower says lowest is 25mmJust want reassurance that it leaves a good finish…

Stihl hsa40 review
Thought others may find this of use - suffering from health issues so bought Stihl HSA 40 battery hedge trimmer came as a kit with two AS2 batteries and charger for £174 inc vat ,weighs just over 2kg which was the main factor.Being used to Echo semi long and Stihl long petrol machines was expecting to be disapointed with the performance but the HSA gave a run time of around 60 mins on one battery against Stihl's figure of 40 mins. Cutting performance on…
