Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower (Showroom Model - Slight Scratches)

Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower (Showroom Model – Slight Scratches) £549.00
It doesn’t always snow when you expect it to, and it often does when you least expect it. But when it does it can cause mayhem and either way experience tells us it really pays to be prepared. If you have large driveways, paths or courtyard areas you really don’t want to wake up one day and find you can’t get across them, can’t get to work or receive visitors, postmen or deliveries. Enter this great spec Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower from harsh weather experts Stiga which is just the job for clearing those larger areas of snow and ice. It has a generous working width of 55 centimetres and a snow intake height of 50 centimetres so can clear through fairly high and thick blankets of snow. Powered by a high-spec, 182cc, petrol engine, the Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower is a serious piece of weatherproof equipment with a durable friction disc transmission and a gearbox offering four forward and two reverse gears, so you can handle tight corners, awkward angles and clear large quantities of snow in varying conditions. A classic dual-stage snow blower, it uses two snow-clearing mechanisms, a sharp, robust toothed steel auger at the front to break up the snow, even when impacted, and throw it back into a fan-like impellor, which further churns up the snow and shoots the stream of snow particles up and out of a chute, up to ten metres away. The chute rotates up to 190

Stiga Park 740 PWX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park 740 PWX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £4794.00
Manoeuvrability; functionality; comfort; and user-friendliness are the hallmarks of this innovative, European-built ride-on from venerable garden-machinery specialists Stiga. Its remarkable agility is thanks largely to its articulated steering system, which firstly means you’ll no longer be restricted to mowing up and down in straight lines; and secondly will enable you to negotiate landscaping and garden obstacles with speed and efficiency. The pivoting chassis also ensures the back wheels track precisely the line of the front wheels, so you can focus on driving rather than worrying about what’s happening to the rear.The forward deck-positioning on the Stiga Park 740 PWX Ride-On Lawnmower brings two clear advantages over the classic mid-deck configuration – the cutting path is clearly visible, so you’ll be able to mow with greater precision; and the grass is cut before it’s laid flat by the wheels, thereby ensuring an impressively consistent finish (a wide selection of Combi decks is offered).The Stiga Park 740 PWX boasts a four-wheel-drive transmission, which means you’ll have no trouble working on steep slopes or in adverse whether conditions. The drive is hydrostatic, giving you infinite-increment ground-speed control, which works to further enhance manoeuvrability. A split differential works to eliminate turf scuffing, important when working on a fine lawn; while power-assisted steering and an adjustable seat combine to ensure high levels of driver-comfort.The high-end features don’t finish there – power is supplied by a premium-quality Briggs & Stratton twin-cylinder key-start engine that’s characterised by its low-noise, low-vibration operation; and superior fuel-economy. As with all B&S power-packs, reliability is not in question.There’s also a capacious 12-litre fuel-tank that works with the fuel-efficient engine to provide lengthy run-times between each top-up break; and an hour metre that allows you to check at-a-glance when a service is impending.The following rear-discharge and mulch-capable decks are available: 95cm Combi 2 Bladed Deck; 95cm Combi Electric 2 Bladed Deck: 105cm Combi Electric 2 Bladed Deck; 100cm Combi Electric 3 Bladed Deck; 110cm Combi Pro Electric 2 Bladed Deck.We offer a White Gloves delivery service with this product and will give a product demonstration upon hand over. This service is limited to England and Wales.

Hayter Harrier 41 Autodrive Lawnmower with Variable Speed (Code: 413)(Showroom Model) £520.00
If you own a smaller lawn with banked sections, or simply don’t fancy hand-pushing your lawnmower, then this compact power-driven model from Hayter is well worth considering. Key amongst numerous high-end features is its 190cc Briggs & Stratton 650 Ex Series EcoPlus engine with Ready Start for fewer exhaust and evaporative emissions. These powerful four-stroke units feature an automotive-style pleated paper air-filter for an extended service-life; and a float-feed type carburettor for reliable first-time starts.

It gives you the choice of seven preset cutting-heights (13 – 60mm), so you can create a fine-tuned finish; and it’s equipped with a cutter-blade friction disc, which stops the crankshaft from bending should the blade hit a solid object.

Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden Tractor

Lawnflite 703 LH Lawn & Garden Tractor was £2149.00 now £2099.00
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.

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower (Warehouse Clearance) was £999.00 now £949.00
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.

Stiga Park 540 LPX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park 540 LPX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £4204.00
If your garden contains the sort of complex landscaping and hard-to-reach nooks and crannies that would defeat a conventional ride-on mower, then this European-built front-cut mower with articulated steering is worth serious consideration.Its ability to negotiate space-restricted areas and tight corners is down to its pivoting body, which delivers a super-tight turning-circle and allows you to concentrate on what happening in front of you as the back-wheels will follow the exact track of the front-wheels – there’s no chance the rear end of the mower will clip anything. Also contributing to manoeuvrability is the power-assisted steering and infinitely-variable foot-pedal controlled hydrostatic transmission.The front-mounted configuration of the mower-deck on the Stiga Park 540 LPX delivers numerous benefits over the mid-mounted deck, including giving the driver an unimpeded view of the cutting-path for precision results; and producing a superior finish as the grass isn’t flattened down before it gets the chop. Electric height-of-cut adjustment (on EL cutter decks) allows you to set the blade position without having to dismount.The Stiga Park 540 LPX Ride-On Lawnmower has been fitted with a beefy 500cc Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder four-stroke engine that utilises the U.S. manufacturer’s acclaimed overhead-valve technology that works to lessen fuel-costs, noise, emissions and vibration. Key start means no more wrestling with a recoil-starter rope; while a 12-litre fuel-tank makes it possible to get plenty done between each break for a top-up.As its name suggests, the Stiga Park 540 LPX boasts a four-wheel-drive that will enable you to traverse significant inclines and other challenging terrain-types without fuss. A split-differential works with the extra-wide-profile drive-tyres to ensure you won’t scuff delicate surfaces.There is a choice of eight cutter-decks available with this model which can all be set-up to either rear-discharge or mulch cuttings, so great results are achievable on a variety of grass-lengths.We offer a White Gloves delivery service with this product and will give a product demonstration upon hand over.
