Mjc replied to Gary Etherington's discussion Start up business machines?
"I just bought a new 476 hy as a local dealer had them at £954 inc. Used it on two lawns today, one had quite thick grass. Seems to be very good. Excellent mulching, nice to operate, (well balanced and not too heavy) with a good range of drive…"

"nice one yes I find the virtual complete lack of maintenance required on the battery kit very convenient, hedge trimmers need a bit of sharpening resin removal and greasing, mowers just a blade sharpen or change, strimmers just require strimmer line…"

My Garden Design posted a blog post
Every landscaping project should have a good, well thought out garden design from the outset. It forms the basis of quote, your workflow documents, your health and safety strategy and most of your customer communications. But what if creating layout…

Richard replied to Richard's discussion Battery strimmer/blower/kombi?
"Thanks for the comment billypop I've been interested in the battery side of things for a while, and battery led tools are so much better than y they used to be.  I'm also looking for a 4 wheeled mower but definitely need petrol for that for my…"

"Hi I pretty much only use battery kit, have never owned any type of Kombi system personally as I prefer the stand alone tools. Mostly use a Stihl FSA85 battery strimmer for the neat type of regular lawn edges etc. (I have bigger more powerful ones…"

Hi all Im looking for some recommendations please. Looking to buy a strimmer and a blower, I'm really liking the idea of going battery powered. I run a very small grass cutting buisness and I don't know weather just to go and get a kombi system? Any…

Peter sellers replied to Gary Etherington's discussion Start up business machines?
"The 536 has so called smart drive forward speed controls on the handle bars, nothing smart about them, difficult to maintain a constant speed especially on bumpy lawns. You may get on ok with them, we couldn"t. I would try one out before committing,…"

strimmer and blower attachments (170 each)
 
leaves roughly 4-500 quid of the machinery budget to play with.
