Loncin LC2000i Inverter Generator

Loncin LC2000i Inverter Generator was £499.00 now £475.00
They say the best things come in small packages, and this lightweight, powerful and reliable Loncin LC200i Inverter Generator is a good example. Loncin’s aim is to lower carbon emissions while using the latest technology to develop a range of highly economical and reliable products. This suitcase-style generator with its minimal footprint is ideal for providing cheap, consistent electricity for leisure use and as a back-up for use at home, providing safe ‘spike’ free power, ideal for sensitive equipment like laptops, games consoles and televisions susceptible to power variations. * The inverter is a lightweight microprocessor that replaces the traditional heavy alternator and thanks to the carefully developed inverter technology, the voltage output is isolated from the engine speed, maintaining a smooth and consistent output of power, with no fluctuations. Power cuts can and do happen and if you work from home, perhaps in a rural area this generator can offer peace of mind – enabling you to pick up and send e-mails and keep working. * Or perhaps you want to use your laptop or watch TV while camping or on a caravanning holiday. This generator is a great, cost effective power source for those times when you are away from the power grid. * It has a fuel capacity of 4.2 litres, and will produce 1.6kw (120/240V) of continuous power and reduces fuel consumption by up to 25%, making it an economical, as well as a reliable, option. Low in carbon emissions the Loncin 2000i Inverter really is a generator for the modern age, with a powerful 79cc, 148F single-cylinder, 4-stroke OHV engine. It has an eco throttle, varying the engine speed to suit the applied load, helping keep the noise down in low loads In fact, this model is remarkably quiet, at 61 dB (A) compared with many similar specified models. We can vouch for this having seen and heard it in action. It has an easy and reliable and a generous running time of around seven hours on a full tank, enough to do some uninterrupted work on your computer and still have time to watch a DVD. A carrying handle makes it easy to transport and with dimensions of just 49.9cm in length, by 28.5cm width with a height of 45.5cm, it will store comfortably in most caravans, camper vans or even the boot of the car. Low in vibration, it has an eco throttle and a DC output included for battery charging, making it a very versatile unit. NB: It is important to check the wattage requirements of the equipment you intend to power so you can buy the right generator. For your information a general laptop requirement would be under perhaps 50-70 and a modern flat-screen TV (32

Loncin LC8000D-F Petrol Powered Generator

Loncin LC8000D-F Petrol Powered Generator £699.00
If you need to drive power tools, garden tools, household items such as fridges, microwaves and even washing machines this easily stored, easily moved and easy to use, rugged and reliable top of the range generator from Loncin is the perfect solution. Powerful and sturdy enough to run larger items like hammer drills, heaters, circular saws and even cement mixers on a building site; it will withstand daily and comprehensive use. This generator is also ideal as a back-up to domestic power failure or smaller offices and business premises; as well as for leisure needs like caravan holidays, mobile homes or to power facilities in a mobile fast-food outfit. The LC8000-F Generator delivers 8 hours worth of continuous power with the large fuel tank capacity of 25 litres. It produces net power of 12HP with a rated output of 6.0 kilowatts and a maximum output of 7.5 kilowatts and has rated voltage outputs of 110/230v. The engine behind the impressive performance of this generator is a top quality commercial grade single-cylinder Loncin G420F-1, with displacement of 420cc forced air-cooling and overhead valve technology for very economic, quiet running with lower vibrations, good fuel economy and lower carbon emissions, something Loncin, as a company, cares a great deal about. Automatic voltage regulation makes sure the flow of electricity is even and smooth and there are alarm/safety systems to cope with both low oil levels and overloading. Three sockets are featured (32amp) and the generator starts very easily thanks to reliable transistorized magneto ignition. This model has a convenient, reliable and easy to use electric start, with a recoil as a back up This model’s low vibrations contribute to lower noise from this large generator, and at around 76 dB (A) the generator is quieter than a food blender or even a garden shredder, even ‘quiet’ versions of garden shredders can be outputting around 84dB(A). The Loncin 65000-F has wheels and comfort handles in kit form, easy to attach, which will fold away, reducing the size of the generator for storage. The handles mean wheeling it around from work area to work area is made easy. NB: It is always useful to know the combined wattage of the equipment you are planning to power and to remember that some machines with induction motors require more power to start up than they do to run.

Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough

Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough was £25.00 now £15.00
Winters are becoming harsher and large scale snow clearing machines are getting more popular, but snow and ice know no boundaries and can cause as much chaos for the small householder as for the larger property. So what do you do? Shovelling is back breaking work but we all need to clear the snow so we can go about our business and not risk injury to our visitors or ourselves. Well, if a shovel is not quite right and a snow blower is too heavy duty, why not try this nifty and affordable solution from those clever German people at Einhell. The Einhell MSF 570 manual snow plough is perfect for an urban or suburban household and, with a 57 centimetre working width, it is ideal for those who need to clear snow away from a small drive or path with the minimum of stress and strain and but want more than just an ordinary shovel. The MSF 570 is very easy to use, and has a concave blade, which works in conjunction with a revolving auger. The auger works on the ‘Archimedes Screw’ principle, churning up the snow and pushing it to the side (to the right) as you ease forward. Built to a good working height to prevent you having to bend, the Einhell MSF 570 Snow Plough has a double handle bar, specially shaped to ensure comfortable use and is easily foldable for compact storage. The blade and auger are constructed from durable, impact and corrosion resistant plastic and the handlebar of powder-coated metal with ergonomic plastic grip. Well made, lightweight and effective, this could be the ideal solution for snow clearing in the coming months and it carries a reassuring two-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £5964.00
The Swedish-designed Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD is characterised by its remarkable manoeuvrability and ability to access space-restricted areas, and as such will come into its own on lawns with lots of obstacles and landscaping to work around. At its heart is a 570cc Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 18 V-Twin overhead-valve engine with a low-oil shutdown system and dual-element air-filter for exceptional durability in the face of intensive use; and angled ports for a smoother idle; improved fuel-efficiency; and reduced exhaust emissions. Key start makes firing-up the engine a simple process.The Stiga Park Pro 18 4WD Ride-On Lawnmower employs an out-front deck design that gives the driver an unhindered view of the cutting-path, thereby ensuring close-quarters cutting around obstacles and along fence lines can be carried-out safely and accurately. The forward-mounted deck also delivers a more consistent finish than a mid-positioned deck, as the grass is cut before it’s flattened by the wheels (a choice of decks is offered).This high-specification hydrostatic four-wheel-drive on the Stiga Park Pro 18 makes it possible to traverse terrain that would defeat a two-wheel-drive machine; and has a separate hydraulic pump that produces a rapid top-speed of 11km/h via a heavy-duty Kanzaki transaxle. Ground-speed adjustment is in infinite increments with no clutch or need to stop to shift-gear.Boasting fully articulated steering, whereby the chassis pivots at its mid-point, the Park Pro 18 is hard to beat when it comes to manoeuvrability – obstacle negotiation and end-of-pass turns can be carried-out with ease. The pivoting chassis also ensures the back-wheels follow exactly the same line as the front-wheels, so you won’t gave to worry about the rear-end of the mower clipping anything.So as to maximise driver-comfort, Stiga have equipped this model with an adjustable high-backed seat that’s mounted on a parallel suspension; and effort-saving mechanical servo steering.A powerful LED headlight means you’ll be able to keep working in low-light conditions; while an hour-metre lets you see when a service is required.Also featured is an adjustable height-of-cut, which you can set to any of ten-stages between 25 and 90mm; and a hugely capacious 14-litre fuel-tank that works to keep downtime to a minimum. We offer a White Gloves delivery service with this product and will give a product demonstration upon hand over.

Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Autodrive Rear Roller Lawnmower (Code: 619)

Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Autodrive Rear Roller Lawnmower (Code: 619) was £369.00 now £361.00
If you’re looking for an almost effortless way to create a traditional striped finish on a smaller lawn, then this 41cm self-propelled model from Hayter could well be the machine for you. It offers superb build-quality, with its rust-resistant aluminium cutter-deck; premium-quality components; and long-lasting ball-bearing wheels all contributing to an impressively lengthy service-life. It’s fitted with a full-width ribbed rear-roller that will leave a pronounced stripe, while at the same time allowing for stable edging; and it has a seven-step height-of-cut that’s adjustable via a single lever, and which can be set right down to 13mm for a really close cut (front-mounted fins further enhance the quality of cut). The Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Autodrive Rear Roller Lawnmower employs a 158cc Briggs & Stratton 500-Series engine; a powerful and ultra-reliable 5hp four-stroke unit which is commonly found on larger machines. It has a smooth ABS plastic lining on the underside of the deck, so noise is reduced and collection-performance is optimised; and it comes equipped with a large-capacity 55-litre grass-collector, which works to minimise downtime caused by trips to the compost-heap (the collector is made from fabric for space-saving storage). Other noteworthy features include a friction disc, which stops the crankshaft bending in the unlikely event you strike a solid object; and an ergonomic full-width bail-bar, which provides a firm, positive grip and ensures you’ll finish the job in comfort.

Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower

Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower £899.00
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.

Oleo-Mac Tornado 95/11.5T Lawn Tractor

Oleo-Mac Tornado 95/11.5T Lawn Tractor was £1299.00 now £1199.00
If in addition to mowing your lawn you need to maintain a paddock or similar long-grass area and regularly need to use towed or trailed attachments, then the side-discharge Oleo-Mac Tornado 95/11.5T is a machine worth proper consideration.Driving the blade and rear-wheels is a Briggs & Stratton PowerBuilt™ 3125 AVS engine, which features a Magnetron® electronic ignition for headache-free starts, time after time; and B & S’s DuraLube™ Splash Lubrication system, which leads to a marked reduction in wear for a longer service-life.

This not only enhances manoeuvrability, but also makes it possible to operate at a forward-speed that will prove most effective for the conditions and task-in-hand.It might have a large cut, but the Oleo-Mac Tornado 95/11.5T is really nimble, with its turning-radius of just 46cm making it possible to negotiate obstacles and tight corners without having to undertake awkward repositioning manoeuvres.An adjustable cutting-height, controlled by an ergonomic, low-effort lever, allows you to adapt to changing conditions; while Oleo-Mac’s QuickFit attachment mechanism means you can remove tractor accessories, such as the cutter-deck, without using any tools.
