Andrew, glad you are pleased with the LK. It sure is a workhorse and a pleasure to use. I too find the height adjusters a little stiff but at least they are strong and will withstand a lot of hardship. I had been using an old 24 inch honda powed marina galaxy and its only now i realise how poor it was. The lk's finish is spot on and with a bit more perserverance i hope to land a few commercials. I also got a pro 46 self push etesia for smaller jobs and whilst i was concerned with not getting a self propelled model i have to say that it is an amazing machine. Hope your season is going well and you get to put the LK to good use.

Hi Andrew, did you press go on the purchase from whitby? I ran about with mine today and it is as good as the lads say.The AS moter machine (German) that Cyrill Johnsons tried to push your way is a great machine by all accounts but lacks a reverse gear and they aint light. I am finding myself dragged up your way more and more these days with referrals around cairnburn rd flowing in. Hows business with you?
