I've had a Makita RBC2510 as my daily trimmer for 2 years now and I am reasonably happy with it. It is light and good for those long days, back and shoulders appreciate it. Power wise I find it only...
Correct me if I am wrong but when ever I get paid by a Strata Company, the money seems to come from the same account no matter which property the payment relates to.
As far as I can deduce, the...
I 2nd that.
Demand too much and you will be replaced in an instant. They will have other contractors they can use. Be smart. Add $5 to the regular visit to their properties. That will more than...
I added pressure cleaning to my lawn/garden business about 5 years ago. I currently have a 4000psi machine ($1800 from Gasweld) , a 4 nossel broom ($100 from Gasweld), and a surface cleaner ($800 USA...
Just to add to those great tips, check for vacuum in fuel tank. Loosen and re-tighten fuel cap. If power has returned you will need to get a new fuel cap. I get this a lot with my Honda whippy. The...
quote amount = Cost of mulch, plus delivery, plus labour to spread.
A) Cost of mulch depends upon type (Hardwood Chip around $30, Ti Tree $55, Pine Bark $80 are approx. prices in my area) and...
My vehicle running expenses last year were $6k approx, and I drove 12K approx, so my basic running costs (not including depreciation) was 50c per km.
I'm happy to work within a 10km radius of Coffs...
Zurich insurance who provide my Public Liability have added the erection of signage to my insurance policy. They charged me $39 for the following 3 months until my policy is due for renewal. They...
I've asked the Broker who organised my Lawn/Garden Public Liability to urgently investigate whether my current insurance is sufficient, and if not, what is the best policy to cover me. I will post...
Thanks Steve for that info.
95% of the signs up here are made from that light weight waterproofed cardboard type material. 6 small self taping screws are used to hold the sign to two hardwood...
Thanks everyone for the advice. As a result, I have revised my prices northwards. I have a habit of under quoting, that voice in my head is my biggest competitor- beats me down every time. Yes I do...
No Cranbourne, I cannot answer my own question, that's why I've asked it. I have an invoice made up but I am holding off printing it in the hope of some wisdom from someone here that does this type...
Today I was asked to take over the job of erecting or removing "for sale" signs for a local Real Estate firm which I have been providing lawn and garden services to for years. I put up 4 new signs...
I've been using the Unik alu head for years. Excellent. German engineered. I would think far superior to what essentialsdirect is selling.

Got caught by this storm mid-mow yesterday. Had to return today (sunday) to finish the job. Golf ball sized hail. Very wild. No dents in the Honda or the Toyota thank God.
GAMS, I think you will find that when you sell your house, you will have to pay capital gains tax on %9 of any profit from that sale, pro rata for the period you where claiming the home office. What...
I'm on my third Honda 216 s/p and I will go for a 4th next year.
I like reading the pros and cons for other brands, I agree with the short comings of Honda, but I am far from convinced that I would...
Thanks for the tips. The problem appears to have been a bit of grit stopping the carby needle from fully closing and making a seal. I must have left the fuel line open and over the 3 months sitting...
For those who are mechanically minded - i am not.
I have a Honda GX-160 engine on a pressure washer. 3 years old but less than 30hours use i guess. Never given me a problem in the past.
Used it 4...
My Honda 216d has been idling in the way you have described since i bought it 4 or so years ago, I have never considered it a problem, just one of those things that happens. Just ignore it like I do.
I have had one for around a year, they are great and well worth the price. They come into their own when mowing long grass and you want to get the clippings out before the discharge chute clogs up. ...
Well thanks for the couple of ideas. I have had 1 week now on the new Honda M2 and I'm quite happy with it. I tried the spring clamp on the blade brake and it certainly made the machine easier to...
Thanks Mower Rob, good simple idea, i just searched my garage and found a very similar clamp so i will give it a go tomorrow.
Do you put that clip on after you have started the motor, each time, or...
Yes Chris, left hand on the blade brake, left turns are okay but the right turns are much harder. I'm a tall bloke at 195cm so I'm already a bit hunched over. I must have looked like a beginner on...
