Hi @dassar

You were inquiring about my lawnmowers. Dude I have three. A small cord one; a small battery one and a monster battery one (see pic). The mower in the pic is the fearsome Victa 82V. Identical I think to the yank Snapper.

I've had a few dud 2 ah batteries with the Victa but the current battery is a 4 ah and I've had good value with it. But, dass,it would have been a better buy to get the Stihl RMA 510 battery op mower because [to be cont'd][Missus is yakking]

Sorry, dass. When the missus is in full flight she wants my undivided attention.Also since we were last chatting I've driven 4 hours from the Coast to Australia's capital. Anyway...I think the Stihl RMA 510 would have been the better mower to buy because its batteries are probably better. My reason for saying this is the reviews of the Stihl seem pretty good and don't mention battery issues and the two batteries I use in my baby stihl lawnmower (RMA 235) still work fine after a few years. I was going to buy the stihl but at the last moment switched to the Victa. The Victa 82v is now a discontinued line and when my Victa battery dies I'll get the Stihl 510 like I should have.

If you liked that, dass, please click the like button and subscribe to my channel. Thanks.

I put chickens in my garden, they do the work for me now, I might as well give my lawn mower to the poor niggers in africa

They can use it to haul water from that river that is 2 miles away. Then the niglet won't have to use that bicycle with one tire missing. LOL

Dude! Dude! That's cruel! Not all Africans are arseholes - but a lot who live in Melbourne are!

What kind of area are you mowing with that, old cobber?

rugged types only need apply

I used to mow a little over .5 hectares using one of these.

Does that count?

i hope you fix that glaring line

If you mean the two (longer grass) demarcation lines on either side of the track...NO! Because it encourages vehicles to stay on the track and not mess up the grass.

Well, if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll drive on your line and now you'll know it was me.

Dude, dude...that's what the local White Supremacists do in their pick-up trucks, f..k 'em. Just to piss me off! So I gave 'em more track in the hope they'd leave my nice, neat pretty grass alone and so far it's worked. Aren't people arseholes!

I hope you took down their license plates and reported them to the ADL.

You nuts? And have them burn down my home! I live in the Deep South, bro.

Oh!

You lie!

I didn't say it was smart.

I asked if it met your criteria.

[ - ] paul_neri [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 17, 2024 06:43:41 ago (+1/-0)

If you did use a hand-mower of the type in your pic then, yes, impressive. Many years ago I used one too on a tennis court-sized lawn. Did the job quite well and kept me fit.

Ignore him, dass, don't even bother reply with an insult.He's envious he has no grass to cut 'cos he lives in the f..king desert!

You'd better not let Her see that you wrote that!

She ain't on-line savvy. I think she thinks Voat is a gardening site.
