Roy Robbins posted a discussionMower problem
We run several Masport 22" Rotarolas.I do 99% of the repairs and maintenance to these machines But there's an issue on one machine I can't resolve.When started from cold the clutch/drive lever is applied and the machine pulls away strongly but only for about the first 30 seconds. Thereafter all drive is lost and the mower can only be manually pushed. The engine remains at full revs so I doubt that's the cause.If left to cool for say 20 minutes exactely the same happens - self propelled fine to…See More

Roy Robbins replied to Gary RK's discussion How do you turn down business ?"We only do lawnmowing and I must turn down at least two new enquiries every week - "sorry we are fully booked for the remainder of the season". Indeed we are very busy but there are certain people we refuse to deal with as forty years…"
Roy Robbins replied to Simon Davies's discussion B&S 675 or Honda GCV 160?"We only run 22" Rotarola Masports and buy new every year because they are used 8 hours a day 5 days a week. The residual values are so low that we keep old machines just for spares. Everything will wear and need replacing long before the…"
Roy Robbins replied to Austin Powell-Allen's discussion Bad Customers and advanced deposits for maintenance."Sorry but I would have smelled a rat immediately but that comes from 40+ years experience. It is very common for tenants when about to vacate a property to have tradesmen carry out work before they disappear without paying. In such circumstances we…"

PRO MemberAdam Pilgrim replied to Roy Robbins's discussion Hayter Pro 56
"Interestingly enough i use older type (full width rear discharge and side drive engines) Hayter 48's and 56's as daily mowers. I have barely had any issues with grass collection, however I do run non original blades. These differ from…"
Roy Bretton replied to Roy Robbins's discussion Hayter Pro 56"I was helping a friend out this summer and he runs to Hayter 56 mowers, they do seem to run a bit slow for commercial use, that we have opened the governers up slightly on the Briggs & Stratton engine, which has helped.
I have…"

Alasdair @ TheGardenService Ltd replied to Roy Robbins's discussion Hayter Pro 56"We've been running the 48pros this year. The wet collection isn't great but acceptable - the housing is much lower than earlier models - and the fixed speed is slow. We increase the speed slightly on ours but they still arent a patch on…"

As we're now approaching the end of the 'mowing year does anyone have experience of using the Hayter Pro 56 over the past season ?At the start of this season we changed over to another make which have proved unreliable so may revert back to Hayter Pros next year. Has the wet grass collection issue been resolved ? Is the fixed speed too slow for commercial work ? Thanks.See More
