Al-Ko Powerline T18-102HD Lawn Tractor (Ex Demo - 2 Hours Use)

Al-Ko Powerline T18-102HD Lawn Tractor (Ex Demo – 2 Hours Use) £2299.00
This top-of-the-range lawn & garden tractor from Al-Ko has been built using the latest high-specification technology and is packed with the sort of practical and convenient features that are a must-have for the gardening enthusiast. It’s the most powerful Powerline tractor, with its commercial-grade Briggs & Stratton Intek engine developing a huge 17.5hp. The engine has been equipped with an anti-vibration system that works to reduce both noise-levels and component wear; and it utilises an overhead-valve type layout for smooth, low-maintenance performance and impressive fuel-efficiency. The Al-Ko Powerline T18-102HD Lawn Tractor has a pair of contra-rotating blades that create a powerful flow of air underneath the mower deck, in turn ensuring the 300-litre grassbag is packed to the brim with clippings. Gas-assistance makes emptying the collector a breeze. Offering a very large 102cm cutting-width, the Powerline T18-102HD will cover huge amounts of ground with every pass. It incorporates a hydrostatic transmission; a high-end feature that allows the ground-speed to be controlled in infinite increments using a foot-pedal; and it combines a reinforced tie-rod with helical gearing to ensure the steering is smooth, light and precise. Not just a bagger, the Al-Ko T18-102HD is also capable of direct-discharging or mulching grass-cuttings, so you’ll have no problems dealing with varying grass-types and weather conditions (the mulch-plug is included, but the rear-deflector is optional). In order to spare the driver’s back when tackling time-consuming applications, Al-Ko have fitted this model with a fully adjustable and ergonomically-contoured seat. There’s also a six-step height-of-cut for enhanced flexibility-of-use; and an electric blade-clutch for smooth blade-engagement. You can choose from a range of optional accessories, including a service stand and a protective cover.

It needs to be pruned each year after flowering to ensure a bumper crop of flowers in the following year. Reduce the flowered stems by a half, taking care not to cut into the old wood.

It makes a dramatic stand-alone statement, and is useful for adding contrast and interest to the shrub border.
