"Completely agree. The battery tool is a great bit of kit and I'll buy it again. Although I feel it's nowhere near as powerful as the petrol and I'm sure not as many stroke rates on the hedge cutter as the petrol unit. I find myself reaching for the…"

"the simple terms are it will take you 10yrs to be fully established. With anything like this your best advertisement is word of mouth which takes time. I started with 3 days gardening and 2 days on a hen farm and just built up over time "
"£500 for a 9hr day is £55 per hour. You might be earning that doing multiple mowing jobs."
"thanks for the info
im sure it is slower, used it again today and it does cuts fine, so probably just a matter of getting use to the lower speed, would be nice to have the speed of the HSA 130T though!
seen a few videos on youtube saying the km135r…"
