Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough

Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough was £25.00 now £15.00
Winters are becoming harsher and large scale snow clearing machines are getting more popular, but snow and ice know no boundaries and can cause as much chaos for the small householder as for the larger property. So what do you do? Shovelling is back breaking work but we all need to clear the snow so we can go about our business and not risk injury to our visitors or ourselves. Well, if a shovel is not quite right and a snow blower is too heavy duty, why not try this nifty and affordable solution from those clever German people at Einhell. The Einhell MSF 570 manual snow plough is perfect for an urban or suburban household and, with a 57 centimetre working width, it is ideal for those who need to clear snow away from a small drive or path with the minimum of stress and strain and but want more than just an ordinary shovel. The MSF 570 is very easy to use, and has a concave blade, which works in conjunction with a revolving auger. The auger works on the ‘Archimedes Screw’ principle, churning up the snow and pushing it to the side (to the right) as you ease forward. Built to a good working height to prevent you having to bend, the Einhell MSF 570 Snow Plough has a double handle bar, specially shaped to ensure comfortable use and is easily foldable for compact storage. The blade and auger are constructed from durable, impact and corrosion resistant plastic and the handlebar of powder-coated metal with ergonomic plastic grip. Well made, lightweight and effective, this could be the ideal solution for snow clearing in the coming months and it carries a reassuring two-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £5964.00
The Swedish-designed Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD is characterised by its remarkable manoeuvrability and ability to access space-restricted areas, and as such will come into its own on lawns with lots of obstacles and landscaping to work around. At its heart is a 570cc Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 18 V-Twin overhead-valve engine with a low-oil shutdown system and dual-element air-filter for exceptional durability in the face of intensive use; and angled ports for a smoother idle; improved fuel-efficiency; and reduced exhaust emissions. Key start makes firing-up the engine a simple process.The Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower employs an out-front deck design that gives the driver an unhindered view of the cutting-path, thereby ensuring close-quarters cutting around obstacles and along fence lines can be carried-out safely and accurately. The forward-mounted deck also delivers a more consistent finish than a mid-positioned deck, as the grass is cut before it’s flattened by the wheels (a choice of decks is offered).This high-specification hydrostatic four-wheel-drive on the Stiga Park Pro 18 makes it possible to traverse terrain that would defeat a two-wheel-drive machine; and has a separate hydraulic pump that produces a rapid top-speed of 11km/h via a heavy-duty Kanzaki transaxle. Ground-speed adjustment is in infinite increments with no clutch or need to stop to shift-gear.Boasting fully articulated steering, whereby the chassis pivots at its mid-point, the Park Pro 18 is hard to beat when it comes to manoeuvrability – obstacle negotiation and end-of-pass turns can be carried-out with ease. The pivoting chassis also ensures the back-wheels follow exactly the same line as the front-wheels, so you won’t gave to worry about the rear-end of the mower clipping anything.So as to maximise driver-comfort, Stiga have equipped this model with an adjustable high-backed seat that’s mounted on a parallel suspension; and effort-saving mechanical servo steering.A powerful LED headlight means you’ll be able to keep working in low-light conditions; while an hour-metre lets you see when a service is required.Also featured is an adjustable height-of-cut, which you can set to any of ten-stages between 25 and 90mm; and a hugely capacious 14-litre fuel-tank that works to keep downtime to a minimum. We offer a White Gloves delivery service with this product and will give a product demonstration upon hand over.

She’s growing on clay which makes it interesting for anyone else gardening on that! She hasn’t got as much clay as I have on my allotment though! Her soil actually looks like soil and is fairly deep.

She also takes a look at the RHS’s 3x3m plot where they aim to grow veg all year round.
