Einhell Petrol Chainsaw with Free Starter Kit (Exclusive Special Offer)

Einhell Petrol Chainsaw with Free Starter Kit (Exclusive Special Offer) £139.95
This comprehensive and surprisingly low-priced chainsaw starter-kit represents amazing value for money, with a top-quality petrol chainsaw and a collection of accessories giving you all you need to start making firewood and tackling smaller-scale felling.The result of an exclusive deal with Einhell means this saw and starter-kit is available only through MowDIRECT in the UK and includes £60-worth of high-quality accessories.The chainsaw itself is a high-specification all-rounder for domestic use; and is powered by a 41cc two-stroke engine with a beefy power-output of 1.5hp. The engine boasts a full crank for smoother performance and rock-solid long-term reliability.The saw cuts at 21m/s – that’s impressively rapid for a chainsaw in this price-bracket. The engine comes with an automatic-choke; a primer to pump the oil/fuel mix into the carburettor; and an electronic ignition, all of which facilitate easy and quick starts, even in the cold.The guide-bar and chain are made by renowned industry-leaders Oregon; and the bar is 35cm long, so you’ll be able to cut logs from around 20 to 25cm in diameter with ease. The bar has a sprocket-nose, which eases the chain around the curve of the bar for a smoother, more even cutting-action. The bar is slim, symmetrical and lightweight; and is reversible for a longer working life. A centrifugal-clutch prevents stalling and keeps the engine at peak torque.Maintenance of the cutting-gear is of the utmost importance, and to help with this, the Einhell Petrol Chainsaw is fitted with automatic lubrication, which will extend the life of your cutting-components.This model is very well balanced and lightweight (4.5kg), making it easy to handle; and it boasts an integrated anti-vibration system that ensures long hours of comfortable operation.There is ergonomic finger-grip moulding on the wrap-around handle; a comfort soft-grip on the forward handle; and a flat underside design, so the chainsaw can be placed easily on a suitable surface without rolling.Safety-features are just as comprehensive, with an inertia-operated chain-brake that stops the chain within milliseconds if kickback occurs; and a chain-catcher to protect the operator in case of chain derailment. A safety-switch on the handle cuts the engine if released. A claw-grip on the underside helps stability by holding the log as you saw.The accessories bundled with this amazing-value kit include a ‘Forest’ safety helmet with visor and ear protectors; a pair of heavy-duty work gloves; a special mixing-bottle for measuring and blending fuel and oil; and a spare replacement chain. This model also comes with an extended two-year warranty.

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.

Offering powerful performance; rock-solid build-quality; and a raft of high-spec features; Lawnflite’s top-of-the-range Optima garden tractor will eliminate all the fuss and hassle from the job of large-scale lawn-care. 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 LG165H 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 LG165H will make short work of lawns and other grassed areas up to a huge 10,000m2. It has an incredibly tight 46cm turning-radius that works with its hydro drive to make it one of the most manoeuvrable machines in its class; while its fully floating mower-deck will track the contours of the ground so as to avoid any missed patches, and is fitted with a deck-wash nozzle for easy cleaning of the undercarriage.

Mountfield MC438 Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw (35cm Guide Bar) (Showroom Model)

Mountfield MC438 Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw (35cm Guide Bar) (Showroom Model) was £139.00 now £129.00
If you want to create a handy store of small logs for a wood-burning stove, carry out some pruning or light limbing, make fuel for a small range cooker or for the fire, this small but high quality domestic chainsaw from Mountfield is just the job. The Mountfield MC438 Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw is an affordable but quality domestic level chainsaw powered by a 2-stroke 1.2kW petrol engine, with a number of high quality features including a pump primer for quick and easy starts. Having your chain at the right tension is essential (it should be tight against the guide bar) so Mountfield have included a side chain tensioning mechanism to allow you to adjust the chin keeping it safe and effective. Don’t forget, your chain tension should always be checked before every use. A sprocket nose is featured on this machine, which turns at the end of the chain and increases cutting performance. The chain bar is a handy 35cm, so ideal for creating smaller logs and firewood as well as pruning smaller branches and to increase the working life of the chain and improve efficiency, the chain has automatic chain lubrication with an adjustable option as well, a dual-feature you will rarely find in this price bracket. A double acting chain brake keeps operator safe as well as reducing potential damage to the machine. Double-acting means the chainbrake can be operated by inertia or by moving the chain brake lever with your wrist or hand. The inertia element means that if you were operating the saw with a hand on each handle a ‘kickback’ occurred, the movement of the saw would engage the chainbreak. The MC438 comes with a one-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Toro 29639 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower

Toro 29639 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower was £319.00 now £299.00
Toro are an American company whose emphasis on high quality and development of innovative features are impressive. Experts in the process of mulching they have created this powerful, steel decked lawnmower to cut and collect or to mulch – recycling grass cuttings to create a healthier looking lawn. The Toro 29639 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower features a powerful 159cc petrol engine, with OHV, for good power to weight ratio and better performance. The cutting deck is engaged via a bail arm and a separate arm controls the self-propulsion. The cutting deck has a working width of 50 centimetres, so is ideal for maintaining a larger lawn. Cutting height can be adjusted to suit conditions or your preference, and is done with four levers, one for each wheel. Heights available range from 25mm up to 102 mm and there are seven heights available in all. The deck is tough and resilient steel, and will provide strength and durability. The deck is also specially designed for efficient mulching, incorporating a patented design of the cutting chamber and blade, which repeatedly cuts and re-cuts cutting sin to smaller clippings, due to the air flow created by the blade and the shape of the chamber. The clippings are eventually dropped into the turf, where they decompose and create natural fertiliser, providing nutrients and moisture, saving time and effort, and creating a lush and vibrant looking lawn. The mulch plug that enables this is integrated in the rear deflector and is there by default. However, if you wish to cut and collect, just remove the deflector and fit the included grass collector and you can use the same effective air-flow to produce efficient rear discharge and collection. The grass collector has a capacity of 60.5 litres, so you can cut for longer without stopping to empty it. An easy to use recoil pull starts the engine and the wheels are smooth running with moulded grips for extra traction. The handlebars fold down for compact storage and easier transport and the Toro 29639 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawnmower comes with a two-year warranty.
