Mowing a new lawn for the 1st time. Etesia pro46 in action  

Cheers, he was pleased 👌 we should have cut this last week really, I had to take a bit more off than I was planning so his mower would have a chance with maintenance

Think that was about 3 weeks after we laid the turf, hopefully it's been looked after. Cheers 👍

I know 🤔it's amazing anyone uses it😅 Stihl should send it all our way👌🤫

Think they do demo them, great mowers👌 doing an toughness test/ review on an old one soon😬😅

Cheers 👍 it's green so will take that

It got it done, went in a bit low to start but I know within a couple of days it would be back up and the customer would struggle with a 'normal' mower

Not sure of the mix, was turf from a local supplier. It did great tho👍

Cheers 👍 I set up a sprinkler and it didn't stop raining on and off for 3 weeks...good old Costa del Wales 😂

The watering after is always a worry😬 seen a few shriveled right up after the customer has waver the hose around for 2 minutes and thought that'll do

3 or 4 weeks tomorrow since down I forget 🤔it's not be allowed to dry out with all this wet weather 😬 should have got on it 10 days ago

I've used these for 20 years and before that the best that honda did, I still have the 21pro honda but these 18inch etesia mowers were just the best. Have heard the weibangs are solid and heavy?

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Yeah. The Weibang is a heavy old girl. That's there only downside really. But being self propelled the only time it's an issue is ramping it in and out the van. I wouldn't mind taking a serious look at Etesia tho as a second back up machine at some point. Maybe towards the end of this season? The collection box size seems quite small tho. But I guess I could live with that. Plus, if councils are using them they must be worth there salt

@@funkyduckproductions.8844 They are pretty indestructible so guess that's why the council use them, my local council runs a fleet of them. Never really had a problem with grass box, it usually packs it right in. The rear shoot is low and wide so collects real well even in the wet. Maybe look at a demo

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I might just do that. Thanks 👍

This mower is ok to lift, I do have a little ramp for the mowers tho. My van is quite low so mower can also be pulled up backwards onto van, all the options 😅 cheers for watching

👌😅I did have a full complement of petrol gear in the van for the afternoon slog on nasty old hedges

Yea mate, I fit them from new. Factory speed is fine for long grass like this but not in the summer when you're not taking much off and need to fly over the lawns

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Thanks Nathan. Do you find the handles comfortable cause you are fairly tall like myself?

It does and yes and not fully engaging it....it may not be the recommended way tho😬 I think the 2nd and 3rd cut are at full speed

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd thanks

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd yes could see you walking a bit faster lols

It's done well even with the stoney ground we had to deal with. Etesia pro46....I like them that much I've run them for just over 20years, not the same one but they are pretty indestructible 👌

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Is that a 18in or 21in, also what year? My mate has a Etesia but it looks like a small tank, it's a huge mower. lol

@@peacebeuntoyou8934 this is the 18inch

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Thanks a lot.

Thanks, shame the rain came down on route there but got away with it looking half tidy👍

😂it even had a little football on there to use👍

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd 5 a side …. 👍
