    Default Hello from Perth WA

    Hey Guys,

    So apparently I created an account in 2009 with burning desires to get into the lawn care business, 7 years later and I'm ready! haha well I'm getting ready. This forum came to mind so I thought i'd say hello, get to know the locals and the like and hopefully learn a thing or two from this wonderful bounty of information. As i recall, these forums always had a friendly and helpful community.

    So once again hello and thanks for having me

    Probably most of the time. Sometimes you get one of us who have had a beer or six too much, or had their ear chewed on by the missus, then it can be interesting.

    But other than that ask questions if you want help. Being in WA though means you use a lot of different gear than the rest of the country

    Interesting, how does the gear differ from the states over east?

    From my 1 visit to WA and staying at a friends relatively new house on a typical newish estate I would say if you want to chase the mid to upper market and $$ cylinder mowers are probably what you should use.

    Not so easy when you're broke. I'm getting close to my next purchase. Need to fit a towbar to my jeep. Thats 800 bux. And looking to get a multi tool. Leaning towards the husqvarna 525LST + edger. Any thoughts?

    Yeah it was a toss up between getting a multi with edger or buying an atom. What made the attachment rubbish?
