Could have done with the thicker ones today.

Fine running over most of the lawn but not in the real soft spots

Bigger pressures washer, or some heat. My hot washer makes em easy to clean and the that’s only 11lpm.
Just ordered a petrol one for using away from the yard - that’s on 25lpm @ 3100 psi :)

Gone for a KIAM gorilla.. Chinese but on sale so about £800+vat cheaper than a Honda/italian pump from Rutland. I might live to regret it.. buy cheap buy twice as they say!

Just pick em up and give em a shake :p

I usually scrape the worst off with the bucket as I'm lifting them then hope they dry out a bit the next time they're used so they can just be knocked off.

Told myself I'd jetwash them but never fancy it...

My average customer will threaten to sue if my van drops any oil on drive - I wouldn't be allowed to rock up with muddy boards!

looks like you have a jet tip .... needs a flatter one or a rotator and attack at an acute angle to get under the tish .... that's some claggy sh1t for sure :(
what volume does your washer put through .. my old Andrews was 4 gallons/18ltr/min .... gave up trying to use it here, at home, as my pumped spring water supply couldn't keep up with it .. 's why I sold it .. had to be pressure fed ... was fine on the main at work

Tried the 40 degree tip and wasn't as quick, its all clay crap so sticks like * to the proverbial blanket

These seem genuine. £100 each no vat... not a great deal though as you can get new for £107+vat I think. Seller is in Mid Devon.
