Hi, apologies as I know this question comes up quite a lot but I'm looking for recommendations for a mower that can deal with wet or longer grass . I already have the non pro Weibang roller which is good at collecting but weighs a ton, a small Honda…
"thanks for that, I'll get one ordered."
"I have been in this situation as a subbie and the contracor and myself went halves but if it is an employee the employer is responsible for his actions and if he was working to the employers instruction and its an accident should bear the cost."
"Im surprised £400 is worth it on insurance. The employer should pay imo."
"As Adam has mentioned the mulching blade is 2 blades stuck on top of each other like a fang....I currently use one now when mulching complete with the mulch plug...tried to collect with it and does not work...you'll be fine when you get a standard b…"

"The simplest approach is to slide another row of gravel boards in under the fence panels, this would lift the panels up above the tops of the posts and raise the fence line, so may not be a welcome suggestion, but would allow you to raise the edge o…"
