Last year I bought the Weibang Virtue 50SVP and it's probably been my best purchase in the last year. It goes through pretty much anything and really collects well in the wet. When it's really wet or alot of dew in the morning I spray my decks with GT85 so it helps the grass not sticking as much to the deck. Great van vid mate, just subscribed 👍
wow. that is one of the best ideas I've ever heard. ill try that on my roller mower as my rm 455 has the solid plastic deck and it may damage it over time. a lot of gardeners around me use the weibangs and i hear some fantastic things about them, i was very close to getting one this season. thanks for the great comment and support
@JackOfAllGardens for £600 I think it's definitely the best in its price range. I also bought the new Stihl 453 T this summer and is fine in the dry but struggled when it's really wet to bag well. I wanted something that was a little lighter as the Weibang is a beafy mower. I think it needs a bigger engine in my opinion as its slightly under powered but it's light and definitely can smash some gardens out for sure.
i would agree, for a 21inch deck, it would be nice to have at least a 180cc engine. it looks like a banging piece of equipment for the price. the plastic boxes can be a great thing to have but i find my self having to really clean them when its boggy, the holes get blocked so fast. thats the exact reason i got the 455, something to chuck in and out of the van, those 2 mins loading and unloading sure do add up
You have a nice setup chap! I had the Makita handheld blower, it was excellent, i now use the Husqvarna 525BX, it's the best on the market in my opinion. My backpack is the Husqvarna 580BTS, it's a beast. Combi's are a godsend, i use the Husqvarna 535LK. Never had to buy a HS 82, as my old HS81R just refuses to die, fantastic machine!! Wish you all the best with your business chap!!!
Thankyou. I will have a look into the Husqvarna blowers for a replacement for the Makita, unfortunately Makita stepped away from combustion engines so i wont even be able to get parts or a replacement one. haha refuses to die. an they don't half take a beating. well hopefully not for a few years, but when you do have to get a HS82, you will love it. Thanks, all the best.
as far as im aware. it has the 4-stroke technology but using a 2 stroke mix like other stihl engines using the 50 to 1 ratio. tbh i think we are saying the same thing. unless i have it wrong and will need a new engine by the new season
i would highly recommended it mate. its a job thats therapeutic and great for the mind. you cant get mad at it, so every day is a great day. start of small and have fun with it. itll be one of the best decisions you make. the very best of luck to you :)
trailer is better than bigger van keep below 2 ton cheaper mot also if you have awkward parking hard to get to places leave trailer at home they longer than a van and lose virtauly no money also can trade easier for bigger smaller trailer in time to suit your needs with minimal cost and no worry of mechanical costs ie servicing mots repairs
very very true, it would be a lot better for taking away waste and would be helpful when it come to transport bigger machinery as well. i wouldn't have thought that the MOT is more expensive for a bigger van though. I have looked at trailers, i may just bite the bullet for next season. The only thing is, i have never drove with a trailer. could be free advertisement if i jack knife it in the middle of the road haha thanks so much for the help mate
Good setup mate, just subbed, look forward to more vids👍🌲

@JackOfAllGardens Yeah when you've got a good few gardens to do it does make a difference pushing around a lighter mower

I m sure your br800 is 4 stroke on 4 mix (2 stoke petrol mix). I have same

Would like to get in to garden work and landscape
i would highly recommended it mate. its a job thats therapeutic and great for the mind. you cant get mad at it, so every day is a great day.

@JackOfAllGardens sorry this is true apart from the 'can't get mad at it' there's been days I've been very mad lol
haha well its always better to beat a pile of dirt with a shovel then a car as a mechanic :)
and you can put taller stuff in like fence panels sheds garden rubbish wood chip mulch grass leaves without compromising van
the amount of times ive been asked to do fence panels and ive turned it down because of transport issues. great info. thanks mate
keep costs down 8 month window to get it in may stretch more months more uses with trailer also can hire one to see how you get on with a trailer too
great idea. ill hire 1 too see how i get on. thanks so much
