"Have you checked under the seat? I don't know this mower, but I think that is where the manual states the oil filler is."

"Thanks for taking the trouble to reply Ian - much appreciated. Unfortunately the manuals don't help in that my machine doesn't have a reservoir or dipstick so I'm scratching my head!!! "

Peter sellers replied to Ag's discussion How to make ends meet as a professional gardener

"Try and price per visit instead of hourly rate. 2-3 hour slots say to custumer £90-£100 per visit.

"I sold the Sthil and bought a good second hand BCS 730. It did a far better job, then my son raked it then dragged a pallet around. "

"Mix the job up I do some contracts that work out at £75hr.
Some just grass £500 per day
Some private £25hr
Some priced jobs £500 per day
Don't just stick to hourly rate you'll make nothing. To make bigger money you have to invest in better machines…"

"Yes I think most of the contributors on here make the bulk of their income from mowing on price work."
