Many thanks for your replies

I'll have a look (only for window shopping curiosity) at it to see how it
appears.

Hope by the time I get to move out to acreage Len's Piecemaker will still be
available for sale.

I've been running over clippings for a while now & the mower is showing
signs of wear & tear, but is repairable, & I do keep the blades keen on a
grinder.

I can see what your saying, don't go for the false economy no matter how
tempting....wait till something with serious HP comes up or go to a
specialist store & buy the best I can afford. I do hope to be around
another 20years to enjoy a new life of gardening on acreage.

Thanks

g'day rob,

i'm no fan of electric units having had much experience with
dissatisfied customers when i was in a mower shop.

but yes as in all things you get what you pay for a better brand
higher price model could be a better deal in the long run.

that gms model in another forum got a very poor report from a recent
buyer they had the machine replace 2 or 3 times then opted to buy a
dearer other brand model. also know someone who bought a bosch machine
and it was not that good he ahd problems not sure of the end result
but i think he swapped. in my books the electrics are basically toys
at the end of the day.

me i go for the 4 stroke models in particular the greenfield
piecemaker in my books damn fine machinery.

when buying on price as always let the buyer beware.

final advice buy from a specialist shop that sells all that sort of
gardening mower equipment bey you'll end up with a better brand/model,
discount stores just wouldn't know.



snipped
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len
