t would be the same for any tiller. Just wait a week or so for it to dry and remove tree rootes. Moverd it over to an area not so wet and it worked like a dream. Didnt expect so many extras. mixer and gardening gloves really useful not to mention the extra spar plug. That will defintly come in handy because finding the right one is so difficult.
Intrstuctions not fantastic but if you have done flat packs its OK to work from the picture.
Definily a good buy.

up 5/6 years ago. Its outlast a few other machines. Good on fuel. Plenty of attachments. Only just packed in this year. 2022. And I didnt treat it very well.Extention poles / Reach for hedge cutter is great, if your not strong it will be hard to handle at full length.The power of the Bu-ko, ive had 2 different makes just this year none have matched the Bu-ko in the slightest for power. Also just realised how little vibration / feedback you get of the bu-ko as well, compared to others I have.Bad side of it is, the plastic casings / handle , button are cheap and not great. Also the goggles, earmuffs are nasty. After a while the ruber feeders / supports inside the poles that fix the metal rotating bar in place, start to move or twist making it hard to fix them onto the machine / putting other extention poles together.Would I buy again, yes in hindsight. For price its great. Just would be nice if they matched the quality of the engine power with better fixings, casings, plastics etc.Ferrari engine, fiat panda shell.

y. Great addition to our garden. Quick delivery. Bit fiddly to put together and would definitely advise you wear the gloves that come with it. My hubby didn’t and cut himself in several places on his hands. Had to use our own regulator because the one supplied didn’t fit our gas bottle ... there may be a technical reason for this that I don’t understand as I say my hubby put it together., took him about 2 hours. I love it .... looks great. Not used it properly yet so can’t comment on how good it is in that respect.

th Bu-Ko as I already had their 5-in-1 pole saw/strimmer/hedge trimmer set, and it seemed to be pretty well made and reliable. Anyway, this turned up and seemed to be well built, too. However, it refused to start. Now I'm not exactly a stranger to small 2-stroke motors, but this one defeated me for 4 days. Not even the tiniest splutter to indicate it wanted to run, so I contacted the seller to request a return. I got an almost immediate response, including a video (about which I was skeptical) and a request for a phone number and a convenient time for an engineer to call me if the video didn't help. OK, OK, it started almost immediately, so I feel a bit of a prat, but it almost doesn't need choke at all to start and floods as soon as you look at it. Anyway, 10 out of 10 for customer service.The saw runs really well, and was getting easier and easier to start during the weekend as it started to get run in. Second tank of fuel, and it was running sweetly. (Note: the manual says 25:1 and the saw says 40:1 for fuel/oil, and I checked with Burrowmount to see which was correct - turns out the first tank or two at 25:1 is fine for running in, then back to 40:1). One last log to chop and we're done for the weekend - the recoil starter handle comes away in my hand. OK, so the knot probably came undone, so I took the cover off and no, the cord had been cut through (presumably by the spring) and the starter had sort of self destructed. Anyway, another email to Burrowmount and a very quick reply to say that they were escalating it to their engineers. Three days later and a complete new starter arrived in the post.So what can we conclude? For the price, don't expect Stihl quality and reliability, but that goes without saying. Chinese QA still seems to be a bit of a lottery, but these guys have the back-up to make up for any quality issues in the products. The other kit from the same supplier is fine, and having sorted it out, I have no reason to think I should have any more problems with this one. Overall, a great set-up with absolutely superb back-up and customer service.

mins to assemble, it was easy but you need to look at the picture on Amazon of the assembled unit. Started 2nd pull and it’s great. I have a large garden it dealt with leaves in no time. Would certainly recommend this blower.
