"They did do a 1.1 but as I said, the "cutters" are too wide and foul part of the saw.

"I got some from https://www.ukcustomcovers.com on their eBay shop for my bench seat set up van and they are still ok 2.5 years later if not a little grubby and dusty. Fit well for all the bits around the seats and folding areas"
"No clue I’m afraid - I purchased whatever was listed on their website for my ground saws and they fit.
Our pole pruners stay sharper for much longer than the ground saws (ms280 and ms360) as they aren’t used anywhere near the ground and are always…"

"I'd weedkill first... once the weeds are dying off nicely, then scarify. If you scarify first, you may well not have any decent leafgrowth on the weeds for the selective to work."
"Well there's a question I'm not too sure about and you wouldn't want to wear a knapsack sprayer with them.

"Ideally you'll want to do no weed control 2 months pre and 2 months post scarification/seeding. So doing weed control now would mean Scarify end october, so should be ok, but won't recover as much by Xmas if you scarify say mid sept. We don't tend t…"
I'm going to be applying a selectivie - most likely Mogul - to a clients lawn soon, as well as scarifying, before reseeding (once interval between spray and seeding is up). Should I apply the selective before scarifying or after?
Hi what seat covers are you using in your vans?i brought some Xtreme auto ones from Amazon but they have only lasted a couple of months.thanks
"Bib 'n' brace oilskins can be useful in warmer weather if using a hand-sprayer. They give plenty of ventilation and can be used indefinitely if washed down after use."
"I did investigate this some time ago............ thought I'd found a suitable one from Rotatech but the "teeth" were too wide and had to return them. Nothing else seems suitable. Search around and you can pick up the genuine Stihl ones for under £…"

"Along with wellies and correct nitrile gloves we would also recommend a green or blue suit for the reasons Gary's mentioned above!
For our spraying register we use the built in version Jobber offers which is dead easy to use too!"
