Brushcutter is pretty competant, get a strimmer head for it as well and it'll take on anything on an allotment that isn't an arboretum in disguise...... Ignore the starting procedure if it doesn't work and experiment, Ryobi are a bit notorious for that.
I've got the tiller and on decent already dug soil it will turn it into a seedbed well enough but it's not a Howard Gem by any stretch of the imagination.... in fact it's not even half a Mantis but that's not what it's for... it'll weed between wide rows and it'll make seedbeds..... The mower attachment is useful. on grass paths and the pruner (chainsaw lollipop) is useful on trees

thanks -  might be worthwhile to buy the new ones with touch start ... although i am sure thathas its own set of issues ...
