Thanks, appreciate it, built it from chassis up- ua-cam.com/video/RjeCBkcfrT4/v-deo.htmlsi=4yf_25XqX8zYcNQm
If that link doesn’t work check the channel for the original build 👍
What a great solution, and an amazing attachment to add to the arsenal. Hugely impressed and am grateful for both the idea and the demonstration. Cheers from Oz!
👍 🙃 🇦🇺 thanks for the positive comment, it’s appreciate. Glad it appealed. I find it a very useful tool especially combined with snatch blocks and redirects. First Oz based comment that I know of !😀
Been using the rake bucket for a few weeks now. Excellent product used to clear an overgrown area of my field.
Likewise. As long as you’re mindful it’s a lighter gauge rake riddle more suited to prep work and restoration rather than ripping out and Hulk smash types of work. The heavier gauge and land rake attachments are probably best to use initially and then revert to the RR for the sorting. Don’t want to bend those tines. I’m very pleased with mine. Thanks for the update 👍
Beast of a machine that
Yes it certainly has a few stand out talents- it’s very sure footed and climbs with ease, good torque engine wise as it keeps going, stays clean underneath and is easy to clean in the wet. I covered most bases in the 3 videos I think. Let me know what you think if you give one a go👍
That did great and tge lawn was thivk how many weeks growth was that very thick in places also how is the mower for syarting does it start first pull
The lawn was around 3+ weeks worth of growth. It starts very well. No issues. As mentioned I’m not a fan of the ambiguous throttle position for full throttle however choke is easy to find as you push all the way down to the bottom of the housing. Thanks for watching and your comment👍
@@bluesix2843 that was amazing result for 3 weeks plus a mean generally would want to go past 2 weeks for regular mulch so hats of to grin for that ! And will let you know if get one can't decide at min on the AS ,Weibang or Grin all have there good and bad points nice engine that Kawasaki good content enjoyed the videos get some more done with the grin think people will appreciate them if you get chance that is
@@vincentsgardens870 👍
@@vincentsgardens870 I’d definitely have the Grin over the AS purely for easier parts and servicing alone! never had much luck with AS. The Weibang is too new and untested for me. My local supplier does have them in store.
@@bluesix2843 right brilliant there is both grin and Weibang dealer near me prob give the AS mower a miss as no dealer near what issues have you had with the AS
Great review
Thanks for watching and the comment, good to know it was useful. 👍
Very neat, great build nice and fit for purpose. Totally effective.
Indeed, not too bad for a home build and works a treat! 👍
Very impressive
Thanks! Appreciate the comment 👍
So easy looking to do. Good SAFETY. ARBORIST Supreme !
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 👍 The system worked very well for this project. Saved a lot of time and effort!
How are you getting on with the grin? I'm looking at getting one or at least a demo of one. Great content by the way 👍
Thanks appreciate it. I would say it’s a great mower for commercial applications, embankments and rough mowing. It will give a good finish on a domestic lawn if your blades stay sharp. I find it’s too slow for covering regular short lawns etc to make it a viable daily driver. I covered 23500 steps mowing on Thursday with the HondaHRX, speed is paramount for good turnover. The Grin is slow and awkward for standard lawns. It’s great for rough stuff and challenging terrain. Needs a clutch and a stronger height adjuster bar. Stays remarkably clean underneath. Wet grass will stick however very easy to clean. Wheels are decent for grip and very good down steps as the rears are pretty big. Overall a good offering if you use it for its strengths, I wouldn’t want to use it long term on regular lawns. Hope this helps, thanks for the support 👍
@@bluesix2843 thanks for the details 👍 something about it doesn't grab me, handles and speed I think. I wouldn't cope with it going slow on a load of cuts through the day. Cheers 👍 hope it does well for you...I may demo one if I can
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Everyday lawns- Honda HRX 537. Best mower by far. Swear by them. Fast, efficient and last for years. Superb mower. Worth every penny 👍
I think the wheelbarrow screamed in pain when he lifted it, lol
Ha, those two implements are very heavy for sure 😉
The barrow handles nearly bent when he lifted the buckets. The barrow bucket is part of its structural strength.
They’re remarkably strong without any reinforcement. As soon as the main barrow dies I keep the frame. I leave the buckets on the frames to move all my buckets about while in storage. They handle it no trouble and those two attachments are bloody heavy 👍
That 2 in 1 really is a great tool. And Stihl sells great files in them.
Indeed they are👍 best file for a saw I’ve used. Clearly just a demo of the vice set up (over best file usage) which is a huge time saver. Drives me insane swapping saws around to access both sides.
👿👿😈😈👿👿😈💔😈👿👿😈😈😈👿👿😈😈👿👿😈😈😈😈😈👿👿👿😈
Yeah, but now I need to move my soil and my digger has no way to move it, ah I'll use my trusty old wheelbarrow........... Shiiiaa....!
If you’re anything like me I have loads of old frames on the scrap pile, I find it a really useful recycle as barrows generally maintain a sturdy frame once dead 👍. I also leave the buckets on the frames while stored for easy movements 😉
Only 50 more to go!!😮
Ha you know it! I have 7 saws too…that’s a lot of teeth! Thanks for the comment 👌
You’re doing that backwards 🧑🏻🦯
It might look like it however I assure you it’s the right way around 😉👍. Thanks for watching 🤓
Thatll be razer sharp after that service 👍
Those Sthil sharpeners are very good….just needs a good operator stood behind it 😉
Good machine brother in my area cute grass for cows easy if have this machine
Yes it’s a good machine on sensible length grass. The extreme experiment at the end was just for “science” 😉you’d normally use a strimmer for that length grass 👍 thanks for watching 👌
How effective was the mulching on the heavy growth? Heavy grass clippings left on a cut verge rather defeats the point of cutting the grass imo.
The mulching on sensible length grass was genuinely excellent. It was very good as shown in part 1. There’s one shot in part 2 that I accidentally forgot to raise the height on some very long grass. I was asked to mow it off unexpectedly whereas it’s normally left long around a long row of vehicles just in case of damage. If I had raised it up and slowed it down it would have likely done very well. This was user error. The machine by design stays very clean as you might imagine in the dry. A wet mucky day may bring different results. Time will tell! I’m very happy with the performance so far. 👍
Part 3 has just dropped, I filmed it today off the back of your comment. You get a mentioned 👍 thanks for supporting the channel.
Part One looked like you hated it, Part Two growing to love it. IS there a Part Three planned where you both dance off into the sunset together ?
…..its like ….well it could have been worse then finding out she can cook and looks hot in a bin bag 😉. Hidden talents.. you never really know what you’ve got until you take it for a test drive 😉 She’s growing on me for sure 👍
underrated video
Appreciated👍. If it helps anyone make an informed decision then my work is done 🙏
When office jobs are today's norm, people ain't got time to spend for themselves, so I'd say that if you have it, enjoy it.
I'm a smoker for example, and when I'm not working, I like to sit outside playing music and smoking my pipe. That ain't useful I reckon. Am I to blame.
Do what makes you happy 👍 Mind you the old pipe smoking won’t do you much good 😉
Wow, really, that many?
Tip of the wood-berg so to speak 😉

I’d love a bucket like this Rhinox buckets are excellent - maybe a month or so when I get paid 👍👍
It really is a great piece of kit. Money well spent if you have the need for one. When I consider the wasted time, work and effort using a regular bucket 😩🤦♂️
I have just purchased this Rake. Excellent product from an excellent British company 👍👍
Indeed! You definitely won’t regret it 👍.
If your generation would’ve raised this generation better you wouldn’t complain. Oh wait. Yeah you would
🤣 Funny 👍

Did you use the Rake Riddle to get that beard into perfect shape ? If you DID use it, did you keep a "finds table" of any ancient artifacts that you dug out ?
I found Jimmy Hoffa and Lord Lucan in there 🤫
Thank you for another great review Ben! The micro trenching bucket really is the ideal attachment to save time when digging trenches for water pipes or cables. Thanks again for the order, we look forward to seeing the deep dig in action again in the future- happy digging!😃
You’re welcome, credit where credit is due. It’s a great product and I’m sure It’ll give me many years of service. Thanks for getting them out to me so quickly 👌
@@bluesix2843 We appreciate the feedback! Not a problem, thanks again for the order!👍
Thank you for the great review Ben, it's greatly appreciated!👍 We're glad that the care package went down well and we look forward to seeing what else you can do with your rake riddle in the future!
Indeed, a nice little surprise although I’m all sugared out now after all those Haribo! 😉. The Rake Riddle really is a nice bit of kit. It’s perfect for so many landscaping needs 👌
I ordered a Rhinox rake yesterday for my JCB mini and just had it delivered (blimin’ fast delivery) and I didn’t get a lovely care package or discount. Favouritsim. (Also known as jealousy). :)
@@deetee6621 I’m really pleased with mine I’m sure you will be too. They’re really good at getting the kit out to you quickly if it’s in stock and doesn’t have to be made especially. Sorry you missed out on the Haribo 😉
@@bluesix2843 I have Haribo. 👍 I’ve just been unpacking it and it’s not too heavy at all, which surprised me. Sunday, I’ll take it into my woods and start on the job in hand. I have a 30m x 3m x 10m pile of slate and soil to separate, but I think I’ll start on some easier stuff first to see how it performs. Let’s just hope the weather stops being a …….
@@deetee6621 Good luck with the weather! The bucket is great for finer finishes and yes not too heavy at all. 56.73kg I think it was. If you’ve got more heavy rough stuff run a land rake through it first 👍. (🥚 🥚 sucking eggs with that suggestion I’m sure 😉) happy sifting!
Also use one buddy. Great bit of kit.
Use a riddle almost identical from Titus attachments. They really make lawn jobs easy.
Yes it’s the perfect tool for lawn prep 👍

@@user-jt5vz3ct6c Sweet! Sounds ideal for that. I get the feeling I’ll be finding lots of new uses for mine too!

Welcome back! 👍
That works real well. It is an added piece of equipment for sure. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for positive comment. It’s been working really well especially now with a little experience using it 👍
It’s def food for thought, but at £5k, it’s hard to justify. Lend me yours, will ya? ;) I’ve got a few hundred tonnes of slate that needs processing, and it’s hard work with a sledgehammer!
Ha only a few hundred! I’ll put a stamp on it although it might not fit in the postbox 😉. I’ve processed my heaps nicely based on little and often. As Chief Brodey famously said…..you’re gonna need a bigger boat. My little machine is definitely better than a sledgehammer for sure. 👍
Crushers work best when they’re choke fed .
Yes I’ve rapidly become quite proficient at it all 😉. Check out parts 2,3&4 👍
what is min and max GPM?
GPM-Grinds per minute? approximately 16/17 full motions backwards and forwards per minute on this set up and size machine. If the product that is being crushed is particularly hard the pressure will automatically shorten the stroke for a repeat crush until it has cleared the bucket. I find keeping your stone clean a real benefit as soil and muck can clog up the exit points and embed your grinding teeth with a cushioning layer of mucky paste.
Looks like a load of rubbish to me, not worth your time and effort. You will be there for weeks just trying to crush your little pile.
Works for me. Once you’re going it does the job well enough.
I use this size of wood all the time 'cos I'm cutting 50-year derelict hazel coppice for my firewood. I use a much narrower brake with a big bit on the top. Get the occasional 'spinner' on the last cut, but nothing has yet jumped out. Here is the brake: ua-cam.com/video/R1PIObjaejU/v-deo.html Slower than yours, but no missiles. I like this size of cordwood 'cos I don't have to split it.
My Bio mass log gasification boiler takes 50cm logs which is the size I built the saw horse for. These were dinky little logs for my friends toy wood stove. Still kicks out the heat and packs a punch though! Yes a big bit on the top is very handy to stop the spinners etc 👍. I’ll take a look. You can see the full video on the channel.
That set up looks like there's a trip to the ER in your future
It actually works great!. Cuts so many logs super quickly. It’s designed and spaced for 50cm logs not the tiny stuff I was cutting in this video. Check out the main channel version 👍.
