I bought the Stihl rm 655vs four wheeled mower this Spring. Its fantastic. I sometimes put the mulching plug in and mulch the clippings if conditions are right. My question is how do these designated mulching mowers compare to a good four wheeled mower with a mulching plug. Great channel. Very inspiring. Thanks
@scottellwoodgardening2874 жыл бұрын
Joseph McCole I have not run them alongside each other and everyone has their own opinion but I think they are better than a machine with a plug as these are solely designed to mulch only. If you use stihl already I would speak to your dealer about a demonstration.

Hi, what is it like on wet ground after say a shower of rain.? I was looking at this or the weibang 53 sm Pro. Appreciate any advice. Thanks
@scottellwoodgardening2873 жыл бұрын
In the wet depending how long the grass is sometimes you will have to double cut as the machine struggles. Ideal for weekly mulching buy fortnightly can be a struggle if long and wet.

Hi Scott. Do you produce any of your own contract? Or use a solicitor. How do you ho about it? Cheers
@scottellwoodgardening2874 жыл бұрын
Dagtail Gardens and Grounds most council tenders we complete produce their own but I do produce some for industrial and private customers just stating basic details of what we will deliver at what cost and how frequent just so both parties have something to work with.

Hi there, you mentioned it's impossible to come up with a square meterage price with so many variables. How do you come up with how long it will take without using the meterage ? Hoping to move into putting tenders in. Thank you

It’s more specific to the machine. I’m lucky that we have all sizes of machine so if I think an open area say 500 metres needs boxing off we would use the grillo 48inch collector and work the time out based on that machine but the competition may price the same job and only have a 21 inch walk behind mower so it would take him 3 times as long and triple the man hours so it really is machine specific. We all know roughly how much our own machines will cut per hour. Any help you need drop me a Mail and I will help if I can.

Do you think this lawn mower will be suitable for wet or long grass? I just started garden maintenance and wanted to know if you think I could get away with this as my only lawnmower to start with?

It’s a good mower for regular cutting but long wet grass usually needs 2 cuts. I would try to get a demo first before you buy. We cut weekly with it. It dies struggle at times if we try to use it on fortnightly areas.

I have the Honda HRS536 wondering weather the Stihl RM4RTP would be better your thoughts please👍
@scottellwoodgardening2873 жыл бұрын
They’re good machines for regular weekly mulching but I find 10 days to fortnightly cutting then you end up double cutting with them as they can’t cope with long grass.

They are good for regular cutting. If it’s a bit longer sometimes a double cut is required. Grin mowers are really good mulchers but expensive.
