Lawnflite LG175H Lawn & Garden Tractor (Ex Demo 1 Hours Use)

Lawnflite LG175H Lawn & Garden Tractor (Ex Demo 1 Hours Use) £1699.00
Offering powerful performance; rock-solid build-quality; and a raft of high-spec features; Lawnflite’s top-of-the-range Optima garden tractor will eliminate all the fuss and hassle from the job of large-scale lawn-care. Unlike many lesser machines, it boasts a hydrostatic drive, whereby the mower’s ground-speed, both forward and reverse, is controlled by the pressure you apply to the foot pedal. As a result, you can easily slow to a crawl when approaching obstacles or end-of-run turns, before accelerating for open-ground passes. Lawnflite have fitted larger-diameter drive-wheels, so you’ll have plenty of grip on muddy ground – great when using one of the many towed attachments in adverse conditions. The Lawnflite LG175H Lawn & Garden Tractor can either mulch grass-clippings – great for short, dry grass; or side-discharge them – ideal for the sort of overgrown grass found in paddocks and meadows. Should you wish to pick-up clippings, an optional grass-collector is available. Thanks to its extra-wide 107cm width-of-cut, the Lawnflite LG175H will make short work of lawns and other grassed areas up to a huge 10,000m2. It has an incredibly tight 46cm turning-radius that works with its hydro drive to make it one of the most manoeuvrable machines in its class; while its fully floating mower-deck will track the contours of the ground so as to avoid any missed patches, and is fitted with a deck-wash nozzle for easy cleaning of the undercarriage. Powerful headlights facilitate safe mowing and towing when the light is bad; while a five-step adjustable height-of-cut (30 – 95mm) means you’ll find it easy to adapt to changing conditions. This model is powered by a powerful 500cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine that develops 9.5kW at 2800rpm. It has a drinks holder for on-hand refreshment; and employs a step-through design that makes it really easy to mount and dismount.

Hordeum jubatum (squirrel tail grass)

Hordeum jubatum (squirrel tail grass) was £1.69 now £0.99
Position: full sun Soil: well drained, moderately fertile soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June – July Other features: the flowerheads can be cut and dried for floral arrangements Hardiness: fully hardy A beautiful annual or short lived perennial grass that produces long-bristled, pale green seedheads, that are flushed with red or purple and fade to light tan as they age. These feathery flower spikes are useful for cutting and drying if picked early. They usually produce loads of seed, so will come back year after year if they are in a good spot. It is great in seaside plantings as it is quite tolerant of salt, but avoid planting near livestock as the barbed awns around the seeds can cause problems if eaten. The flowerheads dry well and make attractive additions to arrangements. Garden care: Prepare a sunny seedbed and sow the seeds 5mm deep in spring or autumn. Germination can be slow, but after the seedlings start to appear, thin them out when they are large enough to handle. Carefully replant those removed, so all the plants are spaced at 25-30cm intervals. These plants like well-drained soil, so avoid over-watering. Sow: March-May or September-October Flowering: June-August Approximate quantity: 100 seeds.
