Neil Darby replied to Dan Nate's discussion Charging Stihl tools from the van
"I charge on site if need be, or at home first, depending on how long I am at the job, which are mostly half days. I only spend 15 minutes max dringing to/from home so no way I could charge in the van even if I wanted to go down that route. Most…"

Distance replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Lawn / soil problem
"While I agree yes that would be ideal, what's that going to cost, anywhere from £1000-£2000? How is that going to get them out of this pickle, I very much doubt the customer would go for that. The rear tine rotavator is the answer, I have done a new…"

Andrew Betteridge replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Lawn / soil problem
"Tiller or rotavator, it still the same mud.
Ten ton of the council soil improver from the household recycling mixed in with it would help, don't call it compost because it's not.
Edit- looking at the photo again, make it at least twenty tons."

Distance replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Lawn / soil problem
"Sorry but a Stihl mh585 is a tiller not a rotavator. Something I would use at the allotment not on a professional job. Something like a Barretto 13hp you can hire for £100 a day is a proper rotavator and will go deeper and turn all those clumps to…"
