  5. Michael Jones

    Top quality machinery at what I believe are competitive prices. I suppose they could speed up delivery, but they are reliable and goods arrive as promised.
    I like dealing with them and have since purchased further equipment from them.
    They have a good range and I hope to be a long term customer.

  8. karl wiles

    Over the years I’ve bought cheap petrol strimmer/brushcutter and all have been adequate but never lasted more than a year so bit the bullet and bought this, what a bit of kit!! So much power for such a small piece or machinery, I have a large garden and also 3.5 acre paddock and it’s whipped through it all effortlessly!! Hopefully this will last as long as their reputation.

  9. Carol Goreham

    comfortable and easy to use.
