Yep. For nearly 20 years.

@@GregsMowing I’m a gardener down in Dorset my mower day in day out is a 2022 hayter harrier 48 pro which is a great mower but the engine is definitely underpowered If I had to upgrade to a 22 inch mower would you recommend the toro pro stripe is the one to get over the hayter 56 pro and the honder hrh 536 pro roller?

Interesting comment. The fact you had to pay for any repair within its first year would suggest damage caused by your use and not wear and tear. What was changed? These are designed to be maintained. Not left alone and destroy everything slowly. These are the easiest pro mowers to work on with most cost effective parts too. I will agree they are expensive considering the engine choices.

Hi Drew. Weekly cuts on all size gardens a Hayter 41 pro or 48 pro is ideal. Hope that helps.

@@GregsMowing , thanks very much … always liked the Hayter . Are you able to fit a high lift blade ? Cheers Drew.

Hi. Not sure on various grass types. Honda hrh is a solid unit. As is Weibang virtue 53. How they perform on fine leaves I don’t know. Where are you based?

@@GregsMowing , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karst_Plateau ; and I've made a typo: fescue with fine leaves - ornamental :D ; I need a machine with a fine cut and very good collecting. Honda HRH is maybe too massive for home use; I've been looking at Honda HRD536HXE; Stiga twinclip 955B with Honda engine, Toro HD Proline 22285. But maybe there is a better option. 😁

Thanks. I don’t use it now. Prefer the Toro proline. However I did service the Stihl the other month. Got the Kawasaki engine. I think USA using kohler? Don’t know how good they are. They are built well and the Stihl and Toro 3 speed drives are same gearbox.

E10 pal

@@GregsMowing wow surprised, I guess e5 and e10 doesn't matter

Hi Tom, what brand you had issues with? The rollers are same as Hayter and are designed to be maintained. Not left for a year after ruse in the rain etc. Will need rebuild. Ask your Hayter dealer if they can get one in. Or else a Toro dealer. Bit complicated for some reason. If you’re not far from Surrey give MPS Garden Machinery a call. In effingham near J9 on m25. I do bits for them so always gonna give them sales.

I'm having problems with Honda mowers just rollers and gear boxes second year they are on bit disappointing can the dealer you have contact with get them cheers

Only part time now 50/50 with working at my local dealership on the driver role at MPS Garden Machinery

@@GregsMowing Good stuff pal👍🏼

I haven’t given up. Only part time now 50/50 with working at my local dealership on the driver role at MPS Garden Machinery

​@@GregsMowing doesn't hurt to do something different especially as age creeps in. I'd love to do the job till the day I die but my bodies saying no to that already.

Don’t think so. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Well the Timemaster is a domestic spec mower. The turfmaster is built for commercial work. That said the Timemaster as of now has a lot more power than the turfmaster. Baffling I know. All Weibang stuff is designed for pro use. Lot bigger engine as you say. And they don’t seem to give up on development so if there is an issue you can bet they’ll sort it out asap. Yes it’s new so maybe wait a few months. And let any issues be ironed out. From the brief videos on the machine it does look very good. Time will tell.

Looks like it will be a good Mower time will .

Hi Jeff. Can’t remember to be honest. But normally I don’t. Sometimes fuel can dribble out of the cap. If so you just need a container to catch it. Wouldn’t worry about the oil. I’ve seen mowers tilted up like this for a day and night. No issues. Hope that helps.

Hi. I haven’t used mine in a while due to work situation. If I could I’d use it more. I still don’t rate the 56 pro as highly. The Briggs is cheap and drive is slow to move. And red paint is just better! Don’t know if I ever changed drive belt or not to be honest. I know I’ve done drive cable and the drive internals once or twice. Two year warranty though. Also the gearboxes on the toros are lot better. Last lot longer. 3 speed. But do cost a fair bit more. Also the blade isn’t as high lift as the Hayter due to the Kawasaki being noisy. Allegedly. However you can change the blade yourself to one that works for you. But keep it quiet. 🥳

Maybe convert back to diesel 😂

You can do yes. Not great for the gearbox though.

Sort of is. Toro have owned Hayter since 2005 and this variant is aimed at sports clubs with the Kawasaki engine. Match cut technology and 3 speed gearbox, but obviously can be used by anyone

@@GregsMowing what is Match cut technology?

Hi Curtis. How tall? If it’s silly tall then use a strimmer then mow it. Soft ground the Toro is ideal thanks to its wide rounded wheels. Other manufacturers have hard rough wheels which cause ruts. I use the Toro with high lift blade and high revs and clean bag and it will go through a lot. Hope that helps.

@@GregsMowingthanks greg, think i’m going to take the plunge & get a toro 💪🏼 do I have to get them features you mentioned altered once it arrives? especially with the high blade lift as I always see that mentioned on posts

Realistically few hundred. Max £200 if the shaft can be reused. Over if needs new roller shaft if the hubs are seized on. All new internals. Etc.

Hi. I’m in Surrey. Near j9 m25. Thanks

Some cables are cheap. Some aren’t.

How

Not sure to be honest. Have a look on Stihl’s website.

Some amount a month

@@GregsMowing I have the transit custom . Looking to get this size one in a couple of years . Don’t suppose you know what spec it is ? I.e H1 L1 etc ??

Was h3 l2. Was under 500 a month. In a few years time who knows what the pricing might be. Probably higher due to pointless tech that’s not needed in a van

Cheers Robert. Hope you’re well too. Hopefully soon!

I got them from my dealer. Any Hayter dealer can get them. If you struggle ask MPS Garden Machinery on insta 👍🏻

Best thing is to get one. Remove the battery rubbish and put diesel engine in it and gearbox 😂. They are still early days and basically fancy prototypes. The next battery transporter will be a badged transit custom so maybe better range etc from there. But how it lasts long term is very unknown and I wouldn’t invest personally.

Haven’t used one so can’t say.

Nope lawnflite pro all around better mower I’ve had both

@@sbsgardening6722 yeah I got a Lawnflite, good sturdy mower and much cheaper👍

How does it concern you? Never had issues personally.

It just looks very cheap and flimsy but if you haven’t had issues that’s the main thing. I can see water sitting in the top attachment too which over time will probably rust it out.

Been doing it for decades and they do lots of testing so should be fine.

Ian yes the etesia is great esp at cut and collect and cut and drop. It’s a serious pro machine. Flawed in the handles and wheels for me though. The hrx only good thing is its weight. Nice and light. Rest of it I’m not too keen on after running two of them and they seem to get cheaper build quality.

Thanks Greg and how would you say the stihl 7 series does compared to the etesia in heavy conditions.Thank you. @@GregsMowing

Got to ship it a long way. Postman isn’t cheap 😂

Hi Tim. You know electric isn’t clean at all.
