Turfmaster SB6000SS Broadcast-Spreader (With Salt Deflector)(Ex Demo 1 Hours Use)

Turfmaster SB6000SS Broadcast-Spreader (With Salt Deflector)(Ex Demo 1 Hours Use) was £199.00 now £179.00
The Turfmaster SB6000SS is supplied as standard with an easy-to-fit salt-deflector. This handy accessory restricts the spread-width to just 56cm and with it fitted you’ll be able to efficiently clear snow and ice from pathways and pavements without wastage. Without the deflector, the spread-width extends to a maximum of 3.5-metres and can be adjusted using a convenient fingertip cable control. Thanks to its rugged 25mm powder-coated steel frame and impact- and corrosion-resistant plastic hopper, the Turfmaster SB6000SS Broadcast-Spreader will provide years of unfailing service. The hopper will hold an impressive 60kg of spread-medium and can be fitted with a rain cover so you can work in poor weather. Running on a pair of large-diameter (405mm) pneumatic tyres, the Turfmaster SB6000SS will perform brilliantly on the most difficult terrain (ice, snow, mud, etc). Heavy-duty steel wheels provide added durability; and a steel-mesh hopper-screen ensures there’s no clogging.

Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden Tractor (Ex Demo 6 Hours Use)

Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden Tractor (Ex Demo 6 Hours Use) £1899.00
Incorporating a raft of high-end features, and a few touches of luxury too, the Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden Tractor will prove a great buy for the more discerning homeowner. Its very high-powered 15.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine offers the sort of performance and reliability for which the leading American engine manufacturers have become renowned. A convenient electric key ignition means you won’t have to waste valuable time and effort wrestling with a recoil-starter rope. The Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden is equipped with a pair of top quality blades that will leave a superb finish with no blade of grass escaping the chop. The contra-rotating action of the blades creates a powerful airflow which drives cut grass through an extra-wide chute into the huge 240-litre grass-catcher. This ensures you won’t get any clumping or blockages, even in damp conditions. The collector can be tipped and emptied from the driver’s seat. With the Lawnflite 703 LH, you don’t have to stop to change gear. Its hydrostatic transmission allows you to adjust the ground-speed using a foot-pedal, which also gives you control over the forward/reverse direction (simply press on the rear of the pedal and the tractor will go into reverse). This fantastic feature combines with the mower’s exceptionally tight 46cm turning-circle to make it one of the most manoeuvrable machines in its class. This model also benefits from Lawnflite’s ‘Fast Attach’ technology, which makes it possible to remove accessories (bumper, collector, cutter-deck, etc) in minutes, without using tools. This will allow you to make the tractor more compact, should need to negotiate a narrow gateway, while also facilitating the use of any of Agri-Fab’s range of towed attachments. The Lawnflite 703 LH features an adjustable high-back seat, padded steering wheel, cup holder and sensibly laid-out controls, all of which should help to make the task more of a pleasure than a chore. A hosepipe attachment on the cutter-deck makes it easier to keep the underside clear of performance inhibiting grass-cuttings; and twin headlights allow you to keep working for as long as you need to. The 92cm working-width on this model makes it ideal for lawns and paddocks up to around 8000m2. Should you wish to work without the collector, you might want to consider purchasing the optional rear-deflector and/or mulch-kit.

One of the most manoeuvrable machines of its type, the Bertolini 411/10E Commercial Scythe Mower has a six-speed transmission (3 + 3), which drives the wheels independently, thereby enabling you to carry-out time saving zero-radius turns. The six-speed gearbox also makes it possible to operate at a speed which is most suitable both for the conditions and the type of application. To ensure day-long sessions can be completed in comfort, Bertolini have equipped with a six-position, height-adjustable handlebar, which has been isolated from engine vibration. Other premium features include a rapid forward / reverse shuttle for speedy direction changes; and a transport gear, which gives you a top-speed of 13.05kn/h when driving the tractor from site to site.

Allett Classic 17L Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower

Allett Classic 17L Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower was £659.00 now £619.00
The playing fields of Eton may well be where Waterloo was won, but the playing fields of England’s schools, colleges and sports clubs in general would never be as well groomed and usable without the help of Allett lawnmowers. Supplying professional machines to the great green spaces of this country, from Cambridge’s cricket pitches to public parks and gardens is second nature to a company like Allett and now we can all benefit from this great tradition with smart, efficient and British built mowers like this Allett Classic 17L Petrol Cylinder Lawnmower. Lawn Mowers like the Allett Classic Petrol 17L cut very closely due to the scissor like action of the cylinder, which has five, spiral blades that spin forward, trapping and shearing the blades against a stationary blade below. This makes the action very precise and sharp, and enables the cuts to be very short, in this case as low as 6mm, whilst avoiding the lawn scalping that can happen when rotary mowers cut too low. In fact, although 6mm is the lowest height of cut on this machine, there are several other options and you can cut at 9, 13, 18, 25 and 32mm, as well as scarify your lawn at 0mm with an easy to fit scarifying cassette (available separately) which slots in, replacing your mowing cylinder whenever you need it. Scarifying has major benefits for your lawn, removing thatch and allowing aeration and nutrition of the soil and roots. The Allett Classic 17L Petrol Cylinder Lawnmower is powered by a reliable and effective four-stroke petrol engine that offers you enough power to cut lawns of up to 250m2 and with a displacement of 87cc. The engine is a four-stroke and uses unleaded petrol. Power is distributed to both the cylinder blades and to the rear-roller, propelling the mower forward and transforming the task of mowing and maintenance into a very pleasant stroll across the lawn. It is the rollers that guarantee that iconic striped finish, so sought after in the British Isles. The Lawnmower is kept level by the combination of a forward and rear roller, ensuring the most even cut possible. The cutting width is a practical 43cm (17

Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Blower was £69.00 now £49.00
The weather is unpredictable, whatever the forecasters say, and a sudden fall of snow can wreak havoc with your daily routine, affecting work, school and shopping amongst other things. Clearing snow with a shovel can be wearing and stressful on the back and so this neat, compact, lightweight and simple electric Snow Blower, with a working width of 31 centimetres, could revolutionise your snow clearing when the white stuff comes down. Built with the smaller household in mind, the Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Thrower is the perfect alternative to a shovel, and is compact and light enough to hang up on your porch coat hooks with the winter coats or store in the shed with the other tools, but powerful enough to clear up snow easily from your yard and throw it up to five metres away.

All this plus a reliable electric switch start and easy storage, in season or out, make this the ideal solution to winter’s potential chaos
