It’s a lightweight, push-type machine, so it’s highly manoeuvrable; and it’s supplied with a 17m mains cable, which makes it possible to access the furthest reaches of the averagely-sized lawn. Other stand-out features include an Operator Presence Control for enhanced user-safety; a seven-stage height-of-cut for a ‘just so’ finish; and a folding handlebar, which works to reduce the overall size of the machine during storage.

Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower

Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower £2499.00
Spend less time maintaining your lawn and more time enjoying it with the fully automatic Robomow RS630.The set-up process couldn’t be more straightforward – simply position the supplied base-station in a convenient position; peg-out the border wire around the zone to be mown; and then input your desired start times. The Robomow will then set-off at those times and mow your lawn under its own steam, before returning to the base-station for battery-charging.The Robomow RS630 Automatic Robot Lawn Mower offers a remote control capability as standard – you’ll be able to communicate with and control it using your Smartphone or tablet whether you’re out shopping or out of the country.It combines impressively powerful 400w mowing-motors with an ultra-sharp premium-grade steel blade so as to optimise cutting-performance on heavy growth; and it utilises Robomow’s exclusive Edge Mode technology, whereby it can be set-up to closely track lawn edges for less post-mowing trimming work.Parts on the Robomow RS630 can be rapidly replaced with no professional help, thanks to its modular design. A floating deck delivers a supremely neat and consistent finish by ensuring every surface undulation is closely tracked; while automatic cut-out sensors work to maximise the safety of children and dogs by stopping the blade the second the unit is tilted or lifted. Offering an extra-wide 56cm working-width, the Robomow RS630 is a fast and efficient performer on the very large lawn (up to 3000m2).Its high-performance drive motors and powerful 26v lithium battery enable it operate successfully on gradients up to a substantial 36%; while its pin-code activation system acts as a deterrent to theft, rendering it useless to anyone without access to the pin number. The RS630 operates at a remarkably quiet 74dB (A), so you’ll still be able to enjoy your outside area when it’s working.It features an Eco Mode, which, when grass conditions suit, can be engaged in order to minimise energy consumption; and it’s multi-zone capable, so can be programmed to mow separate areas individually (four zones maximum).

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower £1099.00
With no bulky grass-catcher and a cutting-width of a mere 66cm, this ultra-compact ride-on mower from long-established British brand Mountfield is suitable for obstacle-packed lawns that are that little bit too big to cover efficiently with a walk-behind machine.The Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower is a dedicated recycling mower which reduces grass-clippings to a fine, highly compostable mulch that’s spread evenly over the lawn surface, where it will rapidly rot-down and vanish. This process will see the turf benefit from the natural nutrients and moisture released by the decomposition process.Thanks to its five-speed gearbox (four forward / one reverse); six-stage cutting-height; and side-discharge capability, the Mountfield 727M can be set-up to achieve excellent results no matter what the weather conditions or surface-type.

Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower

Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower was £899.00 now £879.00
If you’re maintaining a large lawn or rough-grass area which has tight spots and awkward corners that would be tricky to negotiate with a sit-on mower, then this extra-wide-cut walk-behind model from Toro is worth serious consideration.Its expansive 76cm cutter-deck allows for the use of Toro’s Dual-Force™ twin-blade cutting-system. The combined action of the Toro Atomic® blades ensures cut-grass is turned into a super fine mulch that will rapidly rot down after it’s forced into the turf by the under-deck airflow. In bagging-mode, the powerful airflow will force the clippings at speed into the high-volume fabric catcher with no debris left to spoil your lawn’s aesthetics; while in side-discharge mode – which is best for longer grass – the clippings are ejected to the right of the mower, thereby ensuring they won’t get tangled around your feet. The Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower has been fitted with a powerful, professional-grade Briggs & Stratton 875-Series engine, which features the acclaimed US manufacturer’s ReadyStart® system, whereby choke-application and carburettor priming are done-away with for hassle-free ignition (875-Series engines benefit from B & S’s ‘Two-Pull or Less’ guarantee).High-specification engine features include an overhead-valve (OHV) that works to improve fuel-economy and to lessen noise and vibration; and a commercial-duty air-management system that ensures reduced debris intake, which in turns extends the life of key components.Thanks to Toro’s variable-speed AutoMatic Drive, which matches the mower’s ground-speed to your walking-pace, the Toro 20975 TimeMaster will enable you to cover slopes and undulating ground with ease; and of course, you’ll be able to work at the most effective speed for the conditions (should the terrain prove very challenging, you can engage Traction Assist).Its lightweight build; low-profile design; and out-front wheels make it surprisingly easy to manoeuvre around trees and common garden obstacles; while its steel cutter-deck and cast-aluminium chassis combine to ensure you’ll get season-after-season of unfailing service from your purchase.It might be a fairly large machine, but, thanks to Toro’s Quick Stow handle-collapse mechanism, the TimeMaster will take up minimal space in your storage area, especially when compared to ride-on mowers with the same width-of-cut.A blade-brake clutch means you don’t have to stop the engine to stop the blades, which is particularly handy when emptying the contents of the grassbag; while a two-point adjutsable height-of-cut, which can be set between 32 and 108mm, makes it possible to achieve great results on both short and long grass.

The Al-Ko 4000VB Petrol Scarifier comes equipped with a capacious 50-litre collector, so you won’t have to rake-up any debris that might be left on the lawn surface. It sits on smooth-running ball-bearing mounted wheels and weighs just 33kg, so it couldn’t be easier to push; and it features a safety-enhancing ‘deadman’s handle’, which ensures the engine stops when the bail-arm is released.
