BCH Gardens replied to Stephen r Brook-Smith's discussion Stihl strimmer

"I have an FS94 and its been a variable starter since it was new. Needs anywhere from 1 to 50 pulls to start. Hot or cold. Can't say it is bad or good just variable.
Enough of the 'lazy method' by the way efficiency is king😉
Got a battery machine…"

"Share your exact problem Tommy.
I have turned away more than my entire business just in May this year. I have tried subcontractors which was an utter disaster. I have looked for good staff for the last 5 years but they are either disinterested,…"

"I've been using the stihl rma 448tc for three seasons now and it has cut everything fine with no issues at all. Its happy with all surfaces and compared to my old petrol mower its so quiet and a huge amount lighter.
It has 6 different height…"

"I have that problem. I stripped the battery & discovered that two of the terminals were loose & needed resoldering."

Peter Davis replied to Dougie's discussion Cordless lawnmower

"For those needing shorter cuts can you fit a spacer between the blade & the shaft to lower the blade height ?
I only cut a couple of small lawns & I am using an Aldi Gardenline 36v. I am really pleased with it but after 3 years there are niggles…"

"That's exactly what I do. I run a limited company which I employ 1 other person on a PAYE position. It has its downfalls but after running my business since 97 I would say it works for me. I'm slowly reducing my hours as I'm 61 but still employ my…"

Andy Pullin replied to Dougie's discussion Cordless lawnmower

"Tried the Ego, not great. Tried a 46cm(ish) Hayeter, much better in every way. Will wait until they bring out a wider cut, and that should have a stronger battery. Nowt wrong with the 46, just got big lawns. Only thing to remember is that there's…"

James Boardman replied to Dougie's discussion Cordless lawnmower

"Do you have to carry the mower up the steps as even the smallest ego is still 25kg which is quite heavy for carrying in a tight space. I have the stihl 235 which is laughably small but does the job on a couple of small lawns which are up lots of…"

"The ego multi tool works well, I use it a lot, would probably cost about £400 for the head and long trimmer attachment but the biggest plus is you have the battery already."

"Thanks. I have the ego dedicated strimmer. "

Sean Clarke replied to Gary R's discussion Reccomendations please...

"Do you have the dedicated Ego strimmer, or the multi-tool? I was a big fan of the Honda 4-stroke gear before - I still have two multi-tools, a hedge cutter and two blowers. The blowers are still used daily - they're brilliant, but the multi-tools…"
