Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower

Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower was £599.00 now £499.00
It doesn’t always snow when you expect it to, and it often does when you least expect it. But when it does it can cause mayhem and either way experience tells us it really pays to be prepared. If you have large driveways, paths or courtyard areas you really don’t want to wake up one day and find you can’t get across them, can’t get to work or receive visitors, postmen or deliveries. Enter this great spec Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower from harsh weather experts Stiga which is just the job for clearing those larger areas of snow and ice. It has a generous working width of 55 centimetres and a snow intake height of 50 centimetres so can clear through fairly high and thick blankets of snow. Powered by a high-spec, 182cc, petrol engine, the Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower is a serious piece of weatherproof equipment with a durable friction disc transmission and a gearbox offering four forward and two reverse gears, so you can handle tight corners, awkward angles and clear large quantities of snow in varying conditions. A classic dual-stage snow blower, it uses two snow-clearing mechanisms, a sharp, robust toothed steel auger at the front to break up the snow, even when impacted, and throw it back into a fan-like impellor, which further churns up the snow and shoots the stream of snow particles up and out of a chute, up to ten metres away. The chute rotates up to 190

Toro 20977 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawn Mower

Toro 20977 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawn Mower £949.00
Enjoy the very best in U.S. design and engineering with this impressively well-equipped petrol rotary-mower from Toro.What really marks it out from its competitors is its massive 76cm width-of-cut; the same as that found on mid-sized ride-on mowers. This, along with Toro’s provision of a cavernous 88-litre grassbag, ensures the super-fast coverage of paddocks and expansive lawns. The Toro 20977 TimeMaster comes driven by a 190cc Briggs & Stratton 875-Series electric-start engine that employs B & S’s overhead-valve technology for cooler, cleaner and more fuel-efficient operation; and which boasts a commercial-duty debris-management system for season after season of unfailing reliability.A Lo-Tone muffler makes for a more pleasant working-environment; while ReadyStart® means there’s no need to prime the carburettor or apply choke prior to ignition.Thanks to Toro’s AutoMatic Drive System (ADS), whereby the mower automatically matches your walking-speed, the 20977 TimeMaster is highly manoeuvrable and won’t run away from you when you’re mowing around trees, ornaments and other garden obstacles.It has a blade-break clutch, so you won’t have to cut the engine when emptying the catcher, or when crossing gravel or hard surfaces; and it combines an aluminium frame with a hybrid-steel chassis so as to ensure superior durability.A three-in-one machine offering mulching, side-discharge and bagging as standard, the Toro 20977 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawn Mower can be set-up to suit whatever conditions you might be confronted with.A hosepipe link on the cutter-deck means you can clean the underside of the mower without having to flip it over; while a Quick Stow handlebar makes it easy to prepare for transport or storage.
