Rover 861M107 Self-Propelled Petrol Rotary Lawn Mower (Showroom Model)

Rover 861M107 Self-Propelled Petrol Rotary Lawn Mower (Showroom Model) £599.00
Equipped with a very high-powered 190cc Briggs & Stratton Quantum engine, the Rover 861M107 Self-Propelled Petrol Rotary Lawn Mower will cope easily with the toughest grass-conditions. The engine’s overhead-valve design brings improved fuel-efficiency, superior reliability and a longer service-life. Swing-back blades will absorb any accidental impact should they hit something solid, in turn protecting both the engine and the crankshaft Combining a 50cm width-of-cut and a power-drive, the Rover 861M107 will enable you to cover a large area quickly and with minimal effort expended. Its heavy-duty cutter deck is made from strong and hardwearing alloy (it has a 15-year domestic-use warranty); and has a deep dome that works with the Hi-Lift blades and wide discharge-chute to ensure highly efficient, blockage-free grass-collection. A 58-litre collector and a mulch-plug are both included. Operator comfort is important when taking-on the sort of large-scale applications for which this mower has been designed, so Rover have incorporated an ergonomic, upswept handlebar which can be height-adjusted to your preferred working-position (the handlebar can be quickly folded to save space in the shed). The Rover 861M107 also features an adjustable height-of-cut, which can be set to any of 12 positions between 13 and 60mm to suit conditions.
