Why does anyone want 2 stroke oil that lasts a long time when mixed now that petrol only lasts about 5 minutes in storage?!!!

2 stroke oil half the price… https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-hp-145-2-stroke-engine-oil-1ltr/60281

Oh that’s a shame. A guy down the street from me moves his between back and front garden. But it takes the “zero fuss” away from getting one in the first place. I rarely touch mine unless it get’s stuck on occasion. Grass also looks much better as I had a lot of moss before. The constant fine mulching gets rid of the moss. Enjoy the ride on though, sure it’s still fun😁 8)

I wish i could, My main garden isn't a problem, but I also need the mower to travel over my gravel driveway, through a gate, accords a shared driveway and into a paddock via another gate. I cant install the wire boarder for the two areas, and I dont have power in the paddock so cant have a second charging station. I was sold on a robot mower, but back to looking at ride on.

Buy a robomower and never look back. Have had my Husqvarna for 3 years and it cost me £800 including installation. Why get a ride on when u can get robot to do the work cheaper?

My neighbour cuts twice or three times a week

you cut it every WEEK??

I presume the idea of something so bulky is for protection. However, do nylon, cotton and polyester provide much protection against a chainsaw ? I can't see it.

I can't see how these would get through a log either. No sharp edges on them.

Looking for shorts version of those for hour weather

These are useless. I was grinding away on a log for hours they barely scratched the surface.

Be careful you don't damage your batteries by discharging them too far. From what I've read Makita and Dewalt have the low voltage protection in the tools and Ryobi have it in the batteries. By using your combination of Ryobi tool and Makita battery you are potentially missing the discharge protection.

i'm using a Ryobi with a Dewalt battery, with an adapter, works fine. only £50 quid for the timmer and £20 for the adapter, ( £11 if you search ebay )

Was just looking at these. Do you happen to know how it compares to the DeWalt one, as I already have the batteries? Don't really have the need for the blades, just the string.

Seems to be due to emissions controls not just in EU but USA and Australasia. Seems that they are heavier though.

I wouldn’t say all the new models are 4 stroke. 4 stroke engines are more efficient due to dedicated intake and exhaust strokes, whereas with 2 strokes, there’s some fuel wasted as when it mixes with the exhaust gases, some leaves with it. Having said that, 2 stroke machines are still absolutely fine, and most machines are still 2 stroke.

I wasn't aware of this. What's the benefit of 4 stroke over 2 stroke then? Is it really seen as an upgrade?

All the new models coming out (various brands) are 4 smoke so I wouldn't buy a 2 smoke now simply because I would like to try a 4 smoke. However, lockdown seems to have caused a hedge cutter shortage, everywhere has most petrol models out of stock.

Thanks for posting and a belated welcome to hotukdeals @si_turnerf28b7 (y)

I agree this is available at a number of places at a similar price, however, this was not the standard price until the last couple of weeks, you can spend nearly as much on a budget machine do a search for Ryobi and even Screwfix own brand make - this is as good as it gets with a 2 year warranty extended to 3 years if you buy the Motomix fuel. They were £300 new nearly ten years ago.

Was planning on cutting mine soon, when should I wait until? Cheers

Standard price for this. Can be found slightly cheaper https://www.websterpowerproducts.co.uk/products/ground-garden-care/strimmers-trimmers/petrol-hedge-trimmers/stihl-hs-45-lightweight-petrol-hedge-trimmer-24-60cm-detail?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiZeExIHF6AIVRZnVCh06zgV6EAQYCyABEgI10PD_BwE
