TIA. I use a Qualcast Panther 30. It works well but is prone to clogging on the first cut of the year (but then again so is everything). It's also a little bit light weight so on damp grass has a slight tendency to skid rather than turn the blade (oh and the collecting box occsionally fals off but I generally don't use that anyway) OTOH, it's cheap, faster than using an electric for a small area, very green and if it breaks you can fix it yourself. |

It's also a little bit light weight so on damp grass has a slight tendency to skid rather than turn the blade (oh and the collecting box occsionally fals off but I generally don't use that anyway) That's the one I was mainly looking at really... OTOH, it's cheap, faster than using an electric for a small area, very green and if it breaks you can fix it yourself. The cheap bit is the main reason... it's £20+ cheaper than any other one. But, if there are any big flaws in it or another is vastly better than that one, and is worth going for 20quid more, I'd rather do that, however so far the QC is ahead. Thanks for that. -- J.P. in London. |
