"What sort of run time do you get out of the batteries do you need quiet a few for a day shift i think iys the stihl am going to go for since i have a few ap300s"
"My experience is that u can only do so much . If u take on too much work then u end up getting back to clients late and quality of work goes down which brings on more phone calls from clients wondering where u are . For me this is where the stress…"
"I've been using the stihl rma 448tc for three seasons now and it has cut everything fine with no issues at all. Its happy with all surfaces and compared to my old petrol mower its so quiet and a huge amount lighter.

"I have that problem. I stripped the battery & discovered that two of the terminals were loose & needed resoldering."
"For those needing shorter cuts can you fit a spacer between the blade & the shaft to lower the blade height ?

"That's exactly what I do. I run a limited company which I employ 1 other person on a PAYE position. It has its downfalls but after running my business since 97 I would say it works for me. I'm slowly reducing my hours as I'm 61 but still employ my…"
"Tried the Ego, not great. Tried a 46cm(ish) Hayeter, much better in every way. Will wait until they bring out a wider cut, and that should have a stronger battery. Nowt wrong with the 46, just got big lawns. Only thing to remember is that there's…"
"Do you have to carry the mower up the steps as even the smallest ego is still 25kg which is quite heavy for carrying in a tight space. I have the stihl 235 which is laughably small but does the job on a couple of small lawns which are up lots of…"
"The ego multi tool works well, I use it a lot, would probably cost about £400 for the head and long trimmer attachment but the biggest plus is you have the battery already."
"Dont overlook the fact that todays fuel goes off , had an issue with a stihl blower remaining fuel in can around 3 weeks old , 50 to 1 mix around 2 litres left had gone off .

"Thanks. I have the ego dedicated strimmer. "
"Do you have the dedicated Ego strimmer, or the multi-tool? I was a big fan of the Honda 4-stroke gear before - I still have two multi-tools, a hedge cutter and two blowers. The blowers are still used daily - they're brilliant, but the multi-tools…"
