Good morning all.I'm Pete from Wrexham, an ex mechanic turned tanker driver, retired but still busy fixing things for friends etc.  I'm hoping that someone here can help me.  If, I'm premature in asking as a new member then I understand.But, basically a friend has the above.  I've got the engine, a Briggs, running fine.  For some reason the cutter deck has stopped engaging.  It was engaged but not anymore.  I've looked everywhere for a wiring diagram but nothing.  Is it powered through  relay…

Makita XGT 40v range vs Husqvarna professional cordless range?

Ive decided to convert to all battery power and my first purchase will be a cordless professional grade hedge trimmer.

However, I've just discovered ghe Makita XGT range, which also…

Can I legally cut a Council Hedge?

A potential customer has just contacted me regarding cutting a Laurel Hedge at the bottom of his garden. During the conversation, he informed me that the hedge was actaully growing on the other side of his fence and was in fact owned by the Council who cut the hedge once every 3 years. I'm happy to cut the hedge that is growing on his side. However, can I cut the top of the hedge as it is not gowing into his garden and technically belongs to the Council?
