G'day all,
Im sure this Q has been asked many times,but here goes.
As im just starting out,i need to buy a catcher mower,brushy,hedgy and blower,just wondering what all you guys use or recommend.
Ive been using a tanaka brushy and shindiowa blower at my pevious job and they are great but they dont get used every day,so im not sure if they are good for continued use every day.
So let me know what you think.

Cheers

Cheers, Thanx for the help guys. Impala im gunna do just that on the weekend to see wat deal i can get then ill compare it to Deans packages.

Was also wondering if anyone knows of any good storage systems for mowers ect for the back of my ute, i was thinking somthing along the lines of a steel cover over the equipment and have the flip down sides of the ute lockerable so the only way to get the mowers out is to flip the side down, i hope that makes sense. Iknow most of u would use a trailer for equipment, but i want my trailer for rubbish. let me know if u have any ideas.

Thanks
Paul.
