  • There are plenty of little ride on mowers available, this is the Hydro 80 made by Etesia. Today I give an overview of it and my thoughts on it after giving it a good test in all conditions.
    Thanks for watching.

    There's a specific mulching blade + mulching plug which are absolutely brilliant. Can't do super long/wet grass but saves so much time and effort against collecting

    I have the same machine a little older, bought last year, it's a beast & the kwacker engine is so good on fuel for what it does & 17 Hp I drive a moutfield for someone & it will nock the spots of it.

      Great to hear 👍How do my thoughts compare with yours on the 80?

    • @4tk-uc3rs
      @4tk-uc3rs 4 месяца назад

      Pretty much spot on👍🏻
      I've recently changed the Hydro transmission belt & that's the first time in 8 years.
      I can get half decent stripes also on the 80👍🏻
      It's so nimble and gives the power when needed.
      I do most of the estate now with the 98x but I'd never be without the 80.
      Big ups Etesia 👍🏻✅️

    I'm still saving for either the pro46 or the 53. I've never used Etesia before but your videos using them and reviewing have convinced me. Although, I will probably wait until next season now.

    • @LewisgardenservicesLtd
      @LewisgardenservicesLtd  4 месяца назад

      Hydro 100 still struggles in the wet and will clog instantly in long soaking wet grass. I think the only machine that can cope in those situations is the Amazone Profi Hopper. Problem with the Amazone is it needs quite a lot of maintenance and it lays defined stripes due to the flail cutting action. The work I do with the Hydro 100 wouldn't look right with stripes on it.
