"We use and sell Canycom bruch cutters. These can also be fitted with a mulch blade for a finer finish. Made in Japan, shaft driven so full power reaches the blades. Also have a tool-less blade change, with the blades being made from folded steel…"

"We planted 2mt plus Laurels on a 30 mt run, they were massive plants in 60 lt pots and a 2 man lift. From memory as it was a few years ago we planted them touching which was approx 1 per metre, they needed a very large deep hole to accomodate the…"

"£250 per metre??   That can't be right.   Laurels are really cheap hedging plants..... there's a place near me that sells 4' ones for about £15 and 2 per metre should be fine though 3 would fill in quicker.  . "

"My Honda 537 has just done its first season, it's so light and fast! My gearbox was broken from the factory so was replaced after only a week or so. When they make so many million mowers always going to have a few lemons. Never had a problem since…"

"I'm guessing you had the dose wrong with mmc-pro      I've used it before to have success with it and hardsurfaces stayed clear for months......... in fact I sprayed mossy fence with it 9 years ago and its still completely clear. "

"James. For what it's worth, we had 2 Etesias a few years ago but despite the fantastic wet collection the material that the wheels are made from along with the wheel design we got rid as they cut the turf up badly along with terrible tramlines,…"

"In my experience, honda bags really well but it does get super heavy very quickly - so changing bag regularly is a must not to make scratches at level 6 and deeper groves at level 7 (lol). Just make sure you clear the chute properly when emptying…"

A customer of mine is interested in instant hedging - his is a new build on a prestigious estate. He wants a 5ft laurel hedge, immediately. Length could be 18m or 44m, depending on costing, at £250 per metre unit this is a sizeable project.  I've…

"Yes I found that the honda bagged well, no issues there as long as its not soaking wet grass but this is the same with most mowers.
I'm afraid it is beyond economic repair. About £500-£600 for a new transmission, so I will be looking at a new mower…"

"Thanks for your comments, James. Despite the issue with the Honda, interesting that you would go for another one. I have a small Weibang and the bag really does get packed. Would you say the same of the Honda? The Honda has a much larger bag and if…"

"Hi James
I have a  honda 537 and a weibang 53asd. Non bbc
First the weibang, nearly 2 years old, no problems with it. Highlift blade packs the bag and leaves a great finish. Mulch blade in the right conditions also leaves a faultless finish.
Have to…"

"Sounds like a big yes for the Honda. I had the side discharge model at the strat of the season with VY and to be honest, couldn't get on with out. As pointed out, after an hour, the thumbs felt it. To be honest, I felt it was just a gimmick and much…"

"The sites I do cNt use bleaching agents so I use sapphire it seems to work well 2 sprays a year does the trick. Used to use mmc pro but that didn't work for long at all a few weeks and it needed doing again. Hypochlorite is best if your OK to use…"

"I bought the VY and I really like it! But thumbs do feel it after a while, especially when doing lawns that take 1hr plus. It's probabaly a lot slower taking off /accelerating but once you're off, no problems. Peter have a lot of experience, I'd go…"
