om...

Anyway, my poor old Huskie that I thought was a fantastic deal (Well
it was free !) will be going to Huskie Heaven pretty soon..... :-(

Already been pricing a replacement. Although I have a very large
garden, I dont quite need the capacity of the 240R so will be getting
a 21 or 25cc McCulloch (B&Q and Homebase for £80-100)

Ho hum

Hmmn... How do you think they get the price down to £90. As long as you're
only going to trim fine grass and you have a garden the size of a postage
stamp you'll be okay. Otherwise you may get 12 months use out of it. People
don't go and buy the cheapest televisions, white goods or cars they can
find, so why do they buy the cheapest garden machinery?

Take a trip to your local garden machinery dealer and buy something like a
Stihl or other decent make, price about £149 for a bent shaft machine.
