    sydney siders looking for back up gear may want to keep an eye on pickles auctions, went to moorebank the other day as woolahra *spelling lol* council were unloading a heap of gear ...a few 196s in there if my quick glance was correct, with hard catchers too.
    I dont break things ...I just use them beyond their operational limitations

    Bit of a con that ad. If you read the description it sounds like you have to pay the final bid price X 2 if you want both mowers.

    actually it's for no mowers it appears to have been removed
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
