Try ringing IFGM at their number, 01 8463922, they have an address in Malahide, maybe they have a distribution centre, warehouse or showroom, or maybe they work as a resell from a european warehouse. D'internet is king these days, but a phonecall can't hurt, see what the local dealer network is like and who might have one in stock. They basicall deliver to a dealer near you who becomes your warranty point.

Its too long so waste of time. where can I get a genuine husq belt online? I went to a Hus Dealer near me and he was fobbing me off by telling me there are multiple belts and that I would need to bring the mower into him if I can buy one myself I am good Thanks

Big area to cut and a ride on is not really an option (few reasons why. no need to go into them) We've had the loan of a Toro Timemaster with a 30" cut and it's ideal. Expensive though. Are there any recommendations or something similar. Wouldn't necessarily have to be a 30" cut but wouldn't want to be too much smaller either. Budget is flexible (to a point) but we're looking at ballpark €1000 Thanks

scouser123 wrote: » Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the BIOCLIP mulching on the Husqvarna TC239T. It seems to be a lever that you push and suddenly its a mulcher. Does this just close off the chute entrance in the blade area and dump clumps of grass on the ground or is there something more clever in its operation? I want to collect and mulch in different areas of the garden and this sounds ideal but if it sounds too good to be true......... Many thanks for any help.

NIMAN wrote: » A lot of the walk behind mulchers work like this. The grass cuttings are retained in the chamber for a second and are chopped repeatedly as the blades turn. And they are 'dumped' on to the grass, although they should be quite fine if conditions are right. Its works ok on my Honda anyway, but always remember that if you are mulching then you should never be taking off too much and it should be as dry as possible. If you cut a lot off and its wet, it'll not go into fine pieces and will lie on your lawn in big wet lumps.

You need decent power when mulching, and this twin is well up to the job. Side discharge is useful if its too heavy to mulch.https://www.agrieuro.co.uk/mtd-optima-lg-200-hydrostatic-transmission-and-side-discharge-p-8686.html The same engine and cut is the Husqvarna TS 243T , it'll set you back nearer €3200-3500.

deezell wrote: » There are a good few here who have bought from Agrieuro and other on line sources, if you trawl back through. Differences are not that surprising for certain models, where local dealer's are going via a distributor, or are operating to rigid price structure as part of a dealership franchise, (Huskys, Stihl etc). There's also pricing to accommodate trade ins. All this can inflate listed price, but many will match internet prices or come close to clinch a cash sale. I recently viewed the big CastelGarden XS 55 BVWE4 walk behind in a dealers, Shanley lawnmowers in Newcastle co Dublin, his asking price was 620, a euro more than Agrieuro, and a good deal below the advertised list prices of most dealers. If you're looking to trade in list prices are used, just like buying a car. Internet sales don't have that headache, just volume sales. Northern Ireland dealers have the advantage of lower VAT, strictly speaking they should charge 23% for ROI deliveries. If you've no trade in, I'd try haggling a cash deal.
