Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower

Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower £2499.00
Spend less time maintaining your lawn and more time enjoying it with the fully automatic Robomow RS630.The set-up process couldn’t be more straightforward – simply position the supplied base-station in a convenient position; peg-out the border wire around the zone to be mown; and then input your desired start times. The Robomow will then set-off at those times and mow your lawn under its own steam, before returning to the base-station for battery-charging.The Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower offers a remote control capability as standard – you’ll be able to communicate with and control it using your Smartphone or tablet whether you’re out shopping or out of the country.It combines impressively powerful 400w mowing-motors with an ultra-sharp premium-grade steel blade so as to optimise cutting-performance on heavy growth; and it utilises Robomow’s exclusive Edge Mode technology, whereby it can be set-up to closely track lawn edges for less post-mowing trimming work.Parts on the Robomow RS630 can be rapidly replaced with no professional help, thanks to its modular design. A floating deck delivers a supremely neat and consistent finish by ensuring every surface undulation is closely tracked; while automatic cut-out sensors work to maximise the safety of children and dogs by stopping the blade the second the unit is tilted or lifted. Offering an extra-wide 56cm working-width, the Robomow RS630 is a fast and efficient performer on the very large lawn (up to 3000m2).Its high-performance drive motors and powerful 26v lithium battery enable it operate successfully on gradients up to a substantial 36%; while its pin-code activation system acts as a deterrent to theft, rendering it useless to anyone without access to the pin number. The RS630 operates at a remarkably quiet 74dB (A), so you’ll still be able to enjoy your outside area when it’s working.It features an Eco Mode, which, when grass conditions suit, can be engaged in order to minimise energy consumption; and it’s multi-zone capable, so can be programmed to mow separate areas individually (four zones maximum).

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower £1099.00
With no bulky grass-catcher and a cutting-width of a mere 66cm, this ultra-compact ride-on mower from long-established British brand Mountfield is suitable for obstacle-packed lawns that are that little bit too big to cover efficiently with a walk-behind machine.The Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower is a dedicated recycling mower which reduces grass-clippings to a fine, highly compostable mulch that’s spread evenly over the lawn surface, where it will rapidly rot-down and vanish. This process will see the turf benefit from the natural nutrients and moisture released by the decomposition process.Thanks to its five-speed gearbox (four forward / one reverse); six-stage cutting-height; and side-discharge capability, the Mountfield 727M can be set-up to achieve excellent results no matter what the weather conditions or surface-type. It features an under-seat contact-breaker that optimises safety by ensuring the engine won’t run if you’re not at the controls; and it’s driven by a beefy 3.75hp (196cc) Mountfield 5500-Series electric-start engine, which boasts an OHV-type layout for reduced noise; wear; vibration; and fuel-consumption.This model is covered by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty and is suitable for use on lawns around 2000m2.
