As Blue Monday is fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to give a small reminder to our community here on Landscape Juice to remember to tell people about your worries and if you’re having negative thoughts. Talking about emotions…
“Gardening programmes tend to be very ‘traditional’ white middle-class in their attitude towards gardening”, Julia Sargeant said in an interview after she won gold at Chelsea Flower Show in 2016. She was the first black gardener to design…
Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"Depends how much you want to spend.... Cobra/Kaaz/Lawnflite etc are a good machine for the money - I have run them for about ten years now. Yes the gearbox cogs are a consumable, but they aren't all that bad to do. Roller bearings do wear out…"
"We had a Weibang for 3 years and had no issues with it, but it was just so heavy. Plus, if you have a 4 wheeler for the wet then you don't need to worry about wet collection with your roller mower. That's why we have the Hayter, we think they're…"
"I run two mowers the not 19 and 21 was thinking of replacing one for a roller i quite like the weibang with the three year warranty but it weighs the sane as my pressure washer"
"Really hard to give an accurate answer to "ware" times but id say its comparative to others (westerman etc) "
"That's similar to what we do. As long as you have the space to run 2 mowers it works really well. We're not as experienced as some on here, but still done 20 years. We use either the Etesia or 4 wheeled Stihl for the wet and then we use our Hayters…"
"Thank you. I built it myself and know it needs more work. Eventually will be getting someone to improve the site. "
"Yes he would say that, he doesnt have to maul them around!"
"I will have a look at the masport rotorola hopefully my dealer has one to view hes going to show me the weibang 48 he says he swears by them he s loads of them"
"Dougie there's also Masport Rotorola. They have an open back and are good in the wet, build quality similar to Mountfield. But think they are fixed speed thats why we bought Mountfield"
"I have no honda dealers either near me either what would you recommend usuing a four wheel etesia mower in the wet? Then weibang in the dry"
"The honda pro roller is about the same in the wet as our 56's but it's fixed speed and the roller bearings are open and only last 6 months. The honda hrx 476 roller is also fixed speed and is very slow and the chute is very narrow, hopeless in the…"
"def not hayter for the wet i have one only brought out in the dry, stihl roller wont last the test of time, weibang great mowers and fab in the wet but roller mower damn heavy machine would be ok if doing larger properties and not in and out of the…"
"Do you have to be particular about the conditions? We've used MMC-pro in the past (contains DDAC), an I've found that it works if applied in perfect conditions, but not if it's cold or wet."
"I think i might go down to my local dealer and have i look see if they have mountfield in i know they have weibang and stihl roller mower instock "
