Used it today.

Worked well at first went through two beds in no time.

Then for no apparent reason just died and struggles to run.

Think I ll empty fuel and put a fresh mix in. Dont know how old current tank is.
Then do a general service clean filter plug etc.

Still chuffed tho with some tlc will be a real beaut

[shaun]

think your right fluff sounds like a fuel problem,check the little filter in the tank,thats what mine was doing the filter was all gunked up.

Sniff, my mantis is still locked up in the workshop I took it to to be serviced about 4 to 5 weeks ago now.  Am beginning to think thats a couple of hundred quid I'll not see again.  Good job I like digging and have a decent fork eh?!
