Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"Hi Adam, did you not receive my reply? I will forward again, please let me know if you don't get it. Thank you "
"We had an Etesia and it was nothing but trouble. We now have a Kubota G231-HD-48 entering its 5th season, good as gold as long as you change the fuel filters twice a season."
"as did I about 10 days ago???"
"Sounds fasinating, Barry. I've emailed you. "
"Neil. Yes it was me who recommended the 18 inch. Delighted with ours albeit we only use for weekly cuts om medium lawns but it allows us to cut in the early morning when the grass is soaking wet, not had to unblock it yet! Interesting to hear your…"
"to be honest, stuff that we've used commercially for 4 years probably is pretty worthless though we could possibly flog it on Ebay to some unsuspecting domestic-use customer!! "
"I bought one last year Peter, I thought you had recommended the 18" too me, maybe somebody else. The 18" was out of stock & I went for the 955. Bloody great machine, extremley powerful engine & pretty fast as well. No BBC though which is the only…"
"Yeah, I totally agree on this - far better build quality 👍🏻"
"Hi Sam, I've just bought a new Iseki 324 hi tip and it's great. I've done a few cuts this season and have no regrets. I've come from a Kubota GZD hi tip and the Iseki tips slightly higher and backwards which I think is better. I have to tip in one…"
"We tried a 328 high tip variant on demo. Seems like a proper tool. Expensive, but rightly so. Good wide grass chute because of the portal axle. Now on shopping list"
"I've gone backwards in my walk behind mower purchases solely because a new roller mower lasts 2yrs before it needs a gearbox at £400, I now buy old Honda mowers my current one is 18yrs old I paid £300 for it 3yrs ago and so far in issues. The simple…"
"Thanks , currently running Hayter 56 pro's but at 57 kg they are a maul so looked at the Stiga/Mountfield at 47 kg but no split roller or BBC. Only for big areas. Can't have everything suppose! May get one to try before buying more."
"I had a Stiga twin clip roller a few years back. Was an absolute tank, big and heavy. It cut well and pick was good but was way too hefty for me needs so ended up selling it. Great on large lawns but most of my work is small to medium gardens. The…"
