We're looking to buy a flail mower (slagleklipper, klepelmaaier) and found Deleks.

Their products look decent and compared to others prices are even more so. It's a stretch but maybe someone has experience with them and is willing to share their opinion?

It's amazing how quickly your needs increase when you search the internet with pictures on.

Instead of a 60cm wide human-pushed budget mower I'm now considering whether @juliette and I need a remote controlled dandelion-battle-bot that surely can also do deep-sea mining and has more self driving autonomy than even the wildest Musk claims for Tesla.

It's 500.000 Danish kroner though. Which is above our budget of roughly 20.000.

edit: if anyone wants to invest 480k we can share it 50/50%.

This is a known issue btw. Last year I needed a new spade and ended up looking at mini-diggers for a week before buying a 20 euro spade at the local hardware store.

@Pepijn I relate so hard. Looking up mini diggers all the time and then going back to shovel work 😔

(is something no-one who dug a hole by hand ever said).

@Pepijn yes I never want anyone to mistake my pride at how we've done everything by hand without machinery with thinking I would not have used the machinery in a heartbeat if it was free and available lol

@Pepijn
Ours is a bit bigger. It came in very handy during the renovation of our house and is still regularly put to use.
We also have a not-so-small mini-tractor with a mower, pallet fork, shovel bucket and tipper trailer, all of which are extremely useful.

@src_esther I'm jealous :-) My / our ideal would be a decent sized modern mini-tractor or a small classic tractor. Biggest hurdle is a good enclosed place to store it.
