Ride-on Accessories
Last year I bought a John Deere L107 which has made the job of cutting
¾ of an acre far easier and far more fun. I haven't let the wife in to the secret and make out as though it's still a bit of a chore; far from it!! I would like to start using the mower for more than just cutting the lawn, for example, I would like to get a spreader, a roller and maybe something to de-thatch in the autumn, but having looked around, it seems that all of these things are at least 350 quid, which seems a lot for something that I will use once a year and will spend the rest of the year gathering dust in the garage. Does anyone know if there is a used or hire market for these things? I have looked on ebay and can't see anything relevant. Thanks in advance for any help. |

I'm in exactly the same boat with a Countax I bought last year. I do have a de-thatcher (that I've had for years) but it doesn't rea= lly do a proper job scarifying; but the price on the countax power scarifyer is pretty off putting. (Also, I wonder if I'd break the blades on the frequent subsurface rocks, but that's another issue). I rent a spreader from the agri coop twice a year for 20 =A4, so far that's the best I've come up with. So perhaps you can hire a spreader that way; but I'd love to find a used one somewhere... -E --=20 Emery Davis You can reply to by removing the well known companies |
