I need to get a lawnmower and wippersnipper as the place I rent now has a yard.
I have no idea what I need but nothing over the top. It is all flat and about small\average in size. I would prefer somewhere that delivers but could hire a ute if really needed.
Anyone know where to get something cheap or maybe where I can get a deal for buying both?
Sorry should have been clearer. I don't own a car, only have a little 125cc bike.
Also would probably help if I said where I am. I'm in Canterbury, Sydney 2193
I can't wait for a sale as I will need to get something in the next few weeks. We have our first inspection the month after so need the grass to be cut and green.
Masters do delivery, but quick check was $50 for a lawnmower+snipper.
Probably cheaper to bus/train to your local Big W (campsie?) or Bunnings/Masters, buy cheap products, then grab a taxi home.
DO you have a source for that price? Cant be throwing those figures out on ozbargain!!!
Cheers
Also, to the OP, bunnings and i think masters have a free ute hire (maybe a refundable deposit)
I just hired a ute from bunnings to move but it was def not free.
I think battler2 has the right idea with a taxi. I assume that even a mower comes in a box these days so is most likely the easiest way..
Just got to find something cheap…
The $50 was the delivery figure. Read my comment again with emphasis on delivery.
In the context of then talking about the taxi, bus, train I thought it was clear enough.
$50 for a lawnmower+snipper.
is that with masters? Never heard of them I assume it is these people - https://www.masters.com.au
but can't see anything that cheap..
I think "buttler" about might have made a mistake while typing. He might be suggesting 50$ for delivery.
Why don't you look for someone who can do the moving for you? I have seen many doing it for $30 PH and usually finish it within hour. This at least will get you through your inspection time and you can later on look for a decent one on a decent price.
If you are planning for long term solution, many a times garage sales have some of these going on a very reasonable rates. Provided you know what to look for. You can also try your luck on gumtree.
You do not need a UTE this things can fit a car. Wait for a bunnings sale or such. Ozito brand should be fine for a small flat yard.
