Over the past 7months, we have had to repair a lot of our machines at great expense. One of these was a brand new mower,  that was still in its box and was kindly donated by a plot holder. This mower has had to have a new crankshaft fitted, as the original had been bent. This was caused by misuse.

Mowers are for the sole purpose of cutting paths and lawn areas of plots, NOT for cutting weeds or the like on cultivated plots. Strimmers should be used to do any weed and any other plot clearing.

We may have to increase hire charges to cover this cost, if damage continues. When you finish with a machine, please return it, not pass it on. If it comes back damaged, it's your name on the form not the person you gave it to.
