My Home Farm

My Home Farm

In 2018 we left our city lives in exchange for wellies, nature, fresh air and a more sustainable lifestyle. We moved into a Victorian long farmhouse that was built in 1850 surrounded by rolling hills, ancient oak trees, farmland and beautiful wildlife.

When we moved here, we struggled to put up a shelf between us, but that has all changed. In four short years we have refitted bathrooms, renovated the utility room, upgraded the central heating system, rebuilt the crumbling chimneys, upgraded windows and doors, built sheds and log stores, planted an orchard, built a vegetable garden and gently dragged this beautiful farmhouse into the 21st century. Our two cats, Olive and Leopold, are also along for the ride and they have their own daily adventures.

    Great review! I agree that the unit with 2 drawers always looked too small to me. I have 2 air fryers… a Cosori (which I keep on a stand near the kitchen - due to not much counter space) and a Philips that I keep in a closet in the event I want to use both of them. Sometimes I cook a meat in one and a potato or something else in the other one! Works well for me!

    I've been considering Greenworks for a leaf vacuum. Your video gave me a little info but I'm looking for an honest evaluation of best suction power between the 48v and 40v systems. Any thoughts? I have to deal with rather large leaves.

  • @MyHomeFarm
    @MyHomeFarm5 күн бұрын

    Virtually no difference at all. The 48V runs off two 24V batteries and Greenworks’ 24V offering for that platform is extensive so it’ll give more tools to buy and use the 24V batteries.

  • @MyHomeFarm
    @MyHomeFarm5 күн бұрын

    As an additional point, most blower vacs struggle with large leaves. Leaves like oak and poplar don’t often collect well and can block the pipe and entrance to the collector bag. This is something we’ve experienced across all brands, not just Greenworks.

  • @stanleynelson5102
    @stanleynelson51025 күн бұрын

    @@MyHomeFarm Thank you for your input. I already own some Greenworks tools, both are 40v and apparently of different generations as the batteries are not interchangeable. I'm hesitant to invest more on a product that will only work marginally on my leaf problem.

  • @MyHomeFarm
    @MyHomeFarm5 күн бұрын

    I fully understand. We’ve used 6-7 different blower vacs from different brands and they do collect large leaves but if the leaves are wet (which they typically are in autumn and winter) then they do get “jammed” and stuck because the entry points to the collection bags are quite narrow in relation to an oak or poplar leaf. So you do end up having to clear this quite frequently. We also experienced this with a much more powerful, plugged in Stihl blower vac.

    I would agree with the review. I have owned this lawn mower for 2.5years and cut in season once or twice per week, wet and dry without issue. It feels solid and like it will last, it almost feels more professional/commercial than for domestic use.

    I absolutely love making popcorn, and while I can see the benefit to cooking it in the airfryer - I really think it would be much easier for people to make popcorn in a pot on their stove - I'm not trying to come from a privilaged background, but on the stove will take about 3-5 minutes, and much less engery, than in the air fryer for 10 minutes.

    Have now been using my 520iHT4 for just over a month, fantastic piece of kit. Fitted the tip protector Part No 581 48 35 01. Recommended cleaning the blades with degreaser after use then coating with silicone spray, this prevents sap build-up and keeps blades running freely. Have also fitted piece of black pipe lagging/foam around handle to prevent possible damage when operating next to walls and acts as shock absorber.

    I have a Stiga Estate 384 M with a gas powered Stiga 4 stroke engine. I really like that lawn tractor! It's the same lawn tractor as this one with a gas engine so i can't understand why you say in this video that this electric lawn tractor needs less cleaning than a normal lawn tractor? The grass would get in everywhere anyway, even behind the plastic covers on top of the mower deck on this lawn tractor too. I take services on my Stiga myself so its not so expensive for me to own one with a gas engine. Maybe this electric lawn tractor has some more power and torque but i dont think it is much difference. By the way you can't get these tractors with diesel engines, they only got gas engine or they are electric as your lawn tractor.

I’m thinking of just taking decorative pots again and replanting them. They have roots growing out of them. I guess I’ll plant them up.

    STAY AWAY FROM THE S300 MODELL This machine keeps causing us problems. We bought the Stiga S300 to maintain a sports field. - The LEDs are so bright that you are constantly dazzled in darker surroundings - the mechanical dampers make the machine feel very wobbly and unstable - constant beeping noises every time you press a button - a lot of leeway between the steering wheel and the actual controls (almost a handful of movements before the mower turns) - The app makes no sense at all for the device and is designed for robotic mowers - constant switching on and off necessary when the mower is overloaded, has hit an obstacle or simply reaches a performance limit (random event) - On top of that, it stopped working completely pretty much a year after regular use (the standard warranty is 250 hours, we had 35 hours on the machine). No explanation has been found for the error codes, no support from the manufacturer or dealer. It's quite frustrating to pay so much money for a brick. I would highly recommend investing the extra 1000 euros in an Ego cordless lawnmower as you can swap out the batteries between mowings and have them recharged. We are done with Stiga and can only advise against this model.
