Tools And Equipment

cylinder only if you want the perfect lawn with stripes. Need to have a good site, fairly level, good loam, in the sun and genrally fairly large.Rotary suits most lawns and grasses - you can also get one with a roller for those stripes.

I received the Einhell Rotavator this afternoon, assembled it and filled it with oil and petrol. It started on the third pull, much quieter than the Briggs and Stratton engine on the Merrytiller. I gave it a trial run on one bed and it was very satisfactory. Much easier to handle than the...

I cut ours (It's 82foot long at the furthest point, coming in to about 50 foot, and about 30 foot across) with a mower I bought from Argos, the petrol Challenge model, and find it more than handles my lawn

It's similar to this one, but I've had it three years so the model has changed. But the principle is the same. There's a big grey wheel which when you want to do edges you swivel the end and roll it along so that you get a straight edge.

its wooden but the D is of metal i think its either that or plastic - couldnt find any all wood ones the grip is wooden too loopy

But found some of them very heavy to handle .The one I choose was yeomen with and nice wooden handle.:gnthb:

Hi Nick, the only one I know of is this one..This is a mower thread we had going a little while ago you might like a quick look anyway..

Ask them for money to compensate you for the petrol. It's their fault you are having to go back. In case they try to fob you off with saying that you should claim it from the manufacturer - it is the retailer that is responsible for the goods they sell.

Hi Mooki Yes they are just the job as long as you take a good putter with you:hehe:

I use a Wolf pruner on the 4mtr handle I made up, but I believe they now make an extra long handle. As I am now 81 I have to get assistance in lifting it to the required height.

Hi Steve R. when i worked in the Plastics industry we used a substance named Methyl Ethyl Ketone to break down the plastic polymers to do repairs to our broken plastic household items such as vacuum cleaners etc ( always done on night shift in the lab) :wink: this liquid was great for repairs...

Thanks! Shiney. Exactly what I got. It’s a long story which I won’t bore you with but for me the name \Volf is a name to steer clear of after my weeder with a \Volf label stuck on it from Omega-\Volf who ukhs informed me had gone in to administration mid 2009 and they acquired the license to...

Hi Pat i have recently ,within the past 4 weeks purchased the QUALCAST CONCORDE 32 ELECTRIC CYLINDER LAWNMOWER with the back roller and front collection box. this is the lawn mower MARLEY FARLEY described in his post and it looks, the creme de la creme in my expectations. i have not used the...

:thumb: When I was out visiting a garden centre lat week I treated myself to one of these.. A Grab-O-Saurus..!! It is just brilliant..!! It is very sturdy & is......If you have back problems like I have or are disabled this is well worth the £25.... I had an old type thing just made of...

I have an electric scarifier and I "scarify mine to death" a couple of weeks after applying a liquid feed weed and mosskill. I find the granular ones burn parts of the grass regardless of how careful I am with it. As for moss, well, I had a line of it along the main border last year which I...

Hi Iain,Unfortuantely there are very people who will undertake such work these day. Like you have mentioned yourself it takes hours to put an edge back on to hedgecutter blades due to them being hardened steal. Then you have to think about the fact that most reputable repair centres will...

Whatever you do dont buy green handled ones as I did once.......I could NEVER find them :dh:

I've found 2,4,5 even 6 tined forks but not a single 3......except long handled border types.

The service is £50 and extra for parts I paid £75 for the mower.I will have a go. Thanks

I bought a Ryobi 16inch petrol chainsaw a 3-4 years ago and it's a great tool.it cost me about £130. Currently taking down a large overgrown coniferous hedge, cutting through 10" trunks with relative ease. Cheap brand, but I've had more than my moneys worth. Always wear face and ear...
