Local motor factors should have them in stock.

Ya I suppose, I hate to show my face in my local motors factors. After them telling me they had no work for me.

Ah don't be daft, that's not a personal thing. It's good to keep up face in the local MF too, if they know you're a regular they may start to sort you out the odd time.

I was dealing with motor all morning alright...

I had to do all lawn.... **** it sideways... I need one of those tractor yokes. Anyone know if there are second hand ones, which are good?
It's not the biggest yard, but it's really too big for a little push yoke!

I got a westwood ride on/tractor mower for 275 earlier in the year 12hp briggs & straton engine, 36 inch cut. Perfect condition only no collection bag.

Old cut grass is supposed to fertilize the lawn and make it thicker and greener

We have a Craftsman 12hp with a B&S engine. It's great except for the fact that it's an auto and it keeps jumping out of gear when I take off. It mightn't help that I'm half the time trying to do "burnouts" on the lawn and stones

The second I start to wash the car it starts lashing rain:mad:

Did manage to get the wheels done, but still:mad:

Car's filthy!

sean1141

I dont care about the cuttings being left behind, as you say its good for the grass, sur its basicly a fertilizer but some people would not like seeing them on the lawn. I cut it regulary so you would hardly see them! Its also a lot better at cutting the grass if its wet or damp compared to the push mower we have.

Wash it anyway man, you won't have to worry about the shampoo drying into the paint and you won't have to dry it afterwards

The collection tunnel in ours usually clogs up when you cut wet or damp grass. I can't get it high enough to get underneath where the blades are to clean all the crap out. This is causing most of the clogging as the grass is catching here and that's where the clog starts.

feck i got wheelie bin just for that grass to collect! so i cut grass with push bastard, then fill up bin, take it in to fields to empty it, then back again for another round. today wasnt so bad, only 3 full bins, but few weeks ago when it was pissing rain and i could not cut the grass i did 7 wheelie bin... i thought i will die out there!

so what brands of these tractors are decentish so?

The best thing about the one I have is there is no collection tunnel, it just blows it out behind! They used brushes to pick up the grass but these are well gone off mine
