Mitox CS64 Petrol Chainsaw (60cm Guide Bar) (Ex-Demo: 1 Hours Use)

Mitox CS64 Petrol Chainsaw (60cm Guide Bar) (Ex-Demo: 1 Hours Use) £219.00
This newly-developed petrol chainsaw from Mitox offers a range of high-spec features, but comes-in at a very attractive price-point. Thanks to its high-performance 3.0kW (62cc) engine and longer 60cm guide-bar, it will excel at tough, large-scale chainsaw applications. The engine itself is fitted with a premium-quality Walbro carburettor that provides the sort of dependability and combustion efficiency you just won’t get with a lower-spec saw. A decompression-valve makes starting smooth and hassle-free. Thanks to its superior cutting-gear from renowned American manufacturers Oregon, the Mitox CS64 Petrol Chainsaw offers exceptional cutting-performance. It features an automatic chain-oiler, so wear-and-tear on both the bar and chain is minimised. The rate-of-flow from the oil-reservoir to the guide-bar is controlled by a top-mounted adjuster, so it’s quick and easy to make changes in the field. Unlike many similarly-powered chainsaws, the Mitox CS64 is lightweight and easy to handle; and with its full anti-vibration system, you’ll find it puts very little strain on your hands and arms. Large-capacity fuel- and oil-tanks allow you to work for longer between each stop; and a safety-enhancing quick-stop chain-brake brings the chain to an almost instantaneous halt in the unlikely event of ‘kick back’.

Greenworks 50cm 5-Blade Push Cylinder Lawn Mower (25072) (Ex Demo - 30 mins - slight scratch on main body)

Greenworks 50cm 5-Blade Push Cylinder Lawn Mower (25072) (Ex Demo – 30 mins – slight scratch on main body) was £99.95 now £79.00
Take the healthy option when you are thinking of mowing your lawn and take a look at this smart, contemporary push cylinder mower. As easy to push as it is on the eye, you can avoid smelly petrol fumes, greasy, oily hands, tugging and restrictive cables and any further financial outlay, while you get some exercise and experience the calm of noise free mowing. With a cylinder mower, the forward-spinning cylinder has five sharp, durable steel blades, which cut in a scissor action against another metal edge to give you a really fine and clean finish. The Greenworks 50cm push cylinder mower delivers amazing value for money and is constructed with the same care and attention as all Greenworks machines, with the trademark green livery and plenty of great little features, like cutting height adjustment from 44-70 mm, to give you flexibility and choice in cutting under different conditions and lengths of grass. At 14.5 kg, it is far lighter than many powered models, which helps with the pushing, and the 50 centimetre working width is ideal for medium-large lawns and operator comfort is assured thanks to the thick, spongy, soft comfort-grip on the handle. Larger front wheels, 10 inches in diameter, aid stability and combined with smaller rear wheels (6 inches) enable and easy, pram-style zero degree tip-back-and-turn. A small roller, mounted behind the rear wheels will produce a pleasing striped effect. A fabric collecting bag is included as standard.

Hayter Motif 438H Push 4-Wheel Lawnmower

Hayter Motif 438H Push 4-Wheel Lawnmower £360.00
With its wider 48cm cut and very high-powered 190cc Briggs & Stratton 650-E Series EcoPlus engine, this simple but effective push-type machine is a fast and efficient performer over larger areas. The 650-E Series engine is an overhead-valve type unit that develops impressive amounts of torque, and which delivers its power quietly, smoothly and fuel-efficiently. Briggs & Stratton’s ReadyStart system eliminates the need for priming or choke application. Built to last, the Hayter Motif 438H features a strong and durable steel cutter-deck; ball-bearing mounted wheels that will continue to roll smoothly with age; and a cutter-bar friction-disc, which ensures the crankshaft (and therefore the engine) won’t be damaged if you accidentally hit a solid object. Thanks to its hand-push design, the Motif 438H can be guided safely and accurately around obstacles that might be tricky to negotiate with a power-driven model. It offers eight preset heights-of-cut (22 – 55mm), so you can choose the one that best suits the conditions; and there’s a high-capacity 59-litre grassbag, which is made from fabric for more compact storage (folding handlebars also help to save space in the shed).

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.

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.

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.

It has a drinks holder for on-hand refreshment; and employs a step-through design that makes it really easy to mount and dismount.
