However, I'm hoping it will last much longer. My other one (the Husqvarna) has lasted for about 12 years so far, and is still going strong. The only problem is that its tick-over needs re-setting quite often.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-57423461859947563462019-05-06T20:41:06.353+01:002019-05-06T20:41:06.353+01:00Only time and use will tell if it's going to c...Only time and use will tell if it's going to continue to perform as it is now.
