Those bits of wood may as well have not been there for all the stopping power they had. Put something big under it

I'm sure the French had a prototype of this at the time of their revolution.

This is a damned useful tool (if not as immediately exciting as some of the foregoing) - worth every penny. Can be used, e.g, instead of a chisel where you haven't room to use a mallet. Fantastic for flush trimming. Very well built & durable. And lots of interesting attachments (less obtrusive than the petrol-engined vibrator)

A Case is it? What vintage?
TBH I can't find out that much about it but I know this model was produced between 1972 and 1980.
Need to find manuals etc but have drawn a bit of a blank so far.
From what I've read the Case machines have a good reputation - especially the ones from this era,

The garden is big for a semi in a city but not huge. We're a corner plot and it just opens out at the back - about a quarter of an acre if I recall.mangocrazy wrote:Blimey, Andy, that's a serious piece of kit. I am impressed.
I wish I could find room for something like that in my life, but unfortunately I don't have the space. I always thought you had a back garden, not a bloody country estate...
For the work my lad hopes to establish (his idea is we'll do this together) we'll need a digger. This is a bit of a toe in the waters of diggers and we can get the garden done and see how we get on with it.
