    Don't laugh, I have a parklander with attachments, I just changed the spool for the new tool, its 26cc and goes fine, even the edging attachment works fine, not commercial grade but works ok for me.I use 2.7 and thats plenty, square shaped cord.

    Looking thru "Crazy Sales"...there seems like some good deals for cheap equipment, I purchased a laminator yesterday but the lawn equipment and reviews seem pretty good, now if I was doing 20 jobs a week I'de look at the high end stuff for sure, the 30 day return policy is standard with consumer laws here in Oz, but just wondering if many of you folk have had dealings with them.?

    Anyone know if this stuff keeps well if you leave it made up for more than a day?

    I normally use Endura powder but it seems to go off and has to be mixed fresh most days.

    I use mine on ferals (when they arise), jobs that don't need to be caught or mulched, commercial jobs that have sections out of sight (behind factories, blindspots etc) ...I find uses, plenty of other guys may, others may not ...mine has well and truly paid for itself many times over though.

    I'll be in Brisbane in two weeks. Have a friend at a freight company here if that helps.
