The brother-in-law has made it clear he is no longer willing to come around and mower our lawns. It’s a rather despicable act forcing a retired old man (ie me!) into performing manual labour. My one piece of revenge is to use a rotary mower. He’s a lawn fanatic and uses a reel mower with integral roller. He also uses a strimmer (line trimmer) and edge trimmer.
It was with a heavy heart that today I took my ‘flexible friend’ to Bunnings where my ‘friend’ went on a crash diet. We are now the owners of a Ryobi 4-stroke rotary mower and a Makita 4-stroke line trimmer.
I prefer a 4-stroke engine over 2-stroke and selected these two after considerable research. I’ll make a start on my “veg pledge” tomorrow. Meanwhile my flexible friend is sulking in the bedroom and refuses to have anything further to do with me!

Like your style Tom can’t beat a motor, leads never and I don’t feel the battery stuff is good enough yet. The batteries also have a life and go down hill and need replacement. Petrol will still be on its 1st plug when the battery stuff needs something IMHO.
Cheers
