Kevin Bradnick replied to Kevin Bradnick's discussion Toro or Stihl Scarifier
"I went with the Stihl in the end, got a good price for it. It is a lot lighter than I was expecting but that suits me fine as like you it'll be only be used on a handful of lawns by me each year. I'm more than happy to have a go at fixing things…"
