Hayter Harrier 56 Autodrive Lawnmower with Variable Speed (Code: 560) (Ex Demo - 2 hours use)

Hayter Harrier 56 Autodrive Lawnmower with Variable Speed (Code: 560) (Ex Demo – 2 hours use) £775.00
With its huge 56cm cut and power-driven rear-roller, this feature-packed machine from long-established British manufacturers Hayter is well placed to take-on the very large lawn. At its heart is a very high-performance Briggs & Stratton 850EX Series EcoPlus engine with Ready Start, which, with its cylinder displacement of 190cc, is one of the most powerful garden-machinery engines available. As you’d expect from a B & S power-unit, it runs smoothly, cleanly and quietly; and offers impressive fuel-economy. A Dura-Boreā„¢ cast-iron cylinder-sleeve combines with a protective steel cradle and a long-life pump seal to optimise long-term dependability. The full-width rear-roller on the Hayter Harrier 56 Autodrive Lawnmower will lay-down an attractive striped finish and has a ribbed profile for greater traction. It’s constructed around a rugged, rust-resistant aluminium chassis, so a lengthy service-life is assured; and it features a smooth ABS polymer under-deck lining, which improves airflow for more efficient collection and a neater cut. Offering a choice of seven preset heights-of-cut (13 – 60mm), the Harrier 56 Autodrive can be set set-up to perform effectively in any given conditions. It’s supplied with a very large-capacity 70-litre fabric grass-catcher, which works to reduce downtime and helps to save space during storage; and it employs Hayter’s unique cutter-blade friction-disc, which works to absorb the shock of any accidental impact, in turn preventing crankshaft damage. The Hayter Harrier 56 Autodrive features a variable-speed power-drive, so it can be operated at a pace that best suits the grass-conditions and the type of terrain you’re working on. The wheels run on long-lasting ball-bearing wheels for smooth performance on rough ground; and the cutting-height is controlled using only one lever for fast, hassle-free adjustment. Other benefits include a fail-safe Operator Presence Control, which ensures the engine (and the blade) is stopped when the bail-arm is released; and a fold-down handlebar, which can be collapsed prior to storage in order to save space.

Sanli CE1800 Electric Chainsaw

Sanli CE1800 Electric Chainsaw was £69.00 now £59.00
Designed for creating firewood, branch pruning, and cutting small to medium sized logs, this superb electric chainsaw from up and coming quality manufacturers Sanli provides reliability, great build quality and some very high end features in an attractive and affordable package. The Sanli CE1800 is a domestic use chainsaw but it offers plenty of power nonetheless. It is powered by a 1800w (230V~50Hz) which is towards the upper end of performance levels for an electric chainsaw and provides more than enough cutting power to take down a small tree or a sapling, while keeping down emissions and working more quietly than a petrol chainsaw. As any chainsaw user will tell you, you need your chain to be of a high quality, resisting breakage and bluntness and any reduction of kickback – where the chain can jolt backwards if it meets a tough obstacle like a knot – is welcome. So the inclusion on the Sanli CE1800 of a 40cm, premium quality guide bar and chain with low kickback, provided by Oregon, the leading manufacturer; offers total reassurance and displays Sanli’s commitment to quality and safety. There are many other features on this chainsaw you might be surprised to find at this price. For example, the tension of your chain is highly important, it should be snug against the chain guide bar, so Sanli have thoughtfully provided an auto-tensioning dial, a high-end feature for a machine in this affordable price bracket. Don’t forget, your chain tension should always be checked before use. Another great feature is the auto chain lubrication. For long service life, efficiency and safety, you should make sure your chain is properly lubricated. Courtesy of an easy to use knob on the body of the chainsaw, this is done easily and swiftly on the Sanli CE1800 electric chainsaw A hand guard is included of course, also acting as chain break to keep the operator safe during cutting and the CE1800 comes with a very generous 10 metres of cable. A blade cover is included and this model carries a two-year domestic guarantee.

Sanli LSPR42 Power-Driven Rear-Roller Rotary Lawn Mower (Special Offer)

Sanli LSPR42 Power-Driven Rear-Roller Rotary Lawn Mower (Special Offer) £299.99
Unlike the vast majority of its competitors, the Sanli LSPR42 has not been converted or remodelled from a four-wheeled mower – it’s a dedicated, purpose built roller-mower; and as a result is ideal for the fine-lawn enthusiast. It offers superior build-quality; employs only precision-engineered parts; and is brimming with practical and convenient features, so its low price-point is all the more incredible. The Sanli LSPR42 has been equipped with a 135cc (4hp) air-cooled Sanli 1P64F-A engine that employs an OHV-configuration for clean, quiet-running operation with reduced fuel-consumption and the emission of fewer harmful exhaust particulates (when compared to a standard side-valve engine). Starting is via an easy-pull recoil-type mechanism. A power-driven machine, the Sanli LSPR42 will come into its own on lawns with tussocky areas and/or significant slopes that would tricky to negotiate with a hand-push model. It has a robust ABS polymer mower-deck, so strength and long-term corrosion resistance are guaranteed; and there are seven preset cutting-heights ranging from 21 – 77mm, so you can make changes to suit both the conditions and your preferred finish. The grass-catcher on the Sanli LSPR42 Power-Driven Rear-Roller Rotary Mower is manufactured from breathable fabric, which promotes improved air-flow, in turn ensuring clump- and blockage-free bagging, even when working with damp grass (the bag has an impressive 60-litre capacity). Featuring single-lever height-of-cut adjustment – a feature normally reserved for pricier machines – the Sanli LSP4R2 couldn’t be easier to set-up prior to or during use. In addition, the ergonomically, height-adjustable designed handlebar has a soft-touch comfort grip for reduced vibration transfer, and as a result, a more pleasant mowing experience. The handlebar also folds for more compact storage. This model has a 42cm cut; ideal for small and medium-sized domestic lawns.

Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough

Einhell MSF 570 Manual Snow Plough was £29.95 now £19.95
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.

Mountfield MC846 Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw

Mountfield MC846 Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw £209.00
If you need a chainsaw to make a good store of firewood, take down branches and cut small to medium logs, this attractive and great quality chainsaw is well featured, well built and surprisingly reasonably priced for it’s power and performance. Featuring a 2-stroke, 45cc Mountfield engine, driving a 40.5cm chain bar and producing 1.50kw of cutting power, the Mountfield MC846 has a pump primer, a recoil start and electric ignition to provide easy and quick starting, as well as a sprocket nose at the end of the bar, designed to reduce friction and give the chain a longer working life, while improving cutting performance. All chainsaws should be checked before use to see that chain tension is correct, and keeping the chain at the right tension is imperative for safety and efficiency so the included side chain tensioner is an invaluable feature. Just as vital is sufficient lubrication to the chain and the MC846 features both auto and manually adjustable chain lubrication- a feature very hard to find on chainsaws in this price bracket. Safety features include the double acting chain brake, designed to protect both operator and machine. It can be operated both by inertia – so a ‘kickback’ would engage it – and also by using the lever with your hand or wrist. Peace of mind is provided by the twelve-month manufacturers guarantee.

MD 40P Petrol Push Lawn Mower

MD 40P Petrol Push Lawn Mower was £129.95 now £99.95
Lightweight and easy to push, but featuring an engine that really packs a punch, this impressively low-priced entry-level machine from MD is ideal if you’re looking to step-up from an underpowered mains-driven mower. The engine itself is a GGP SV35 Easy-Start; a four-stroke unit that has a cylinder displacement of 150cc, and which benefits from the employment of the Italian manufacturer’s emission-reduction technology. As the engine-name suggests, starting will prove fast and headache-free. Key to the almost effortless manoeuvrability of the MD 40P is its robust but nevertheless ultra-lightweight polypropylene deck, which also has the advantage of being rust-resistant (the overall weight of the machine is a minimal 22kg). Four Quick-Step height-adjusters make it simple to select one of the five possible heights-of-cut (25 – 75mm); while the provision of a high-capacity 40-litre grassbag means the job can be finished without many time-consuming visits to your compost pile. The MD 40P Petrol Push Lawn Mower has a compact 39cm width-of-cut that makes it the sensible choice if your lawn has garden-features; trees; flowerbeds; and narrow paths and gateways to deal with. Also worth noting is a space-saving fold-down handlebar, which can be quickly collapsed using a hand-wheel; and an Operator Presence Control, which enhances user-safety by cutting the engine when you let go of the ergonomically designed bail-arm.
