Toro 20952 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower (ADS/Key-Lectric Start) (Ex Demo 2 Hours Use)

Toro 20952 Steel Deck Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower (ADS/Key-Lectric Start) (Ex Demo 2 Hours Use) £409.00
Toro are a premium US brand, known for their innovations in the field of mulching, or recycling grass cuttings to improve the health of a lawn. This high quality steel decked lawnmower, with a 48 centimetre cutting width for mowing on larger lawns, is a great example of why they are who they are. The engine is a Toro OHV with 159cc displacement delivering very high performance and good fuel economy. The start is electric and operated by the simple turn of a key, saving time and energy and improving on starting reliability and the mower has self-propulsion to save time and effort. This model is fitted ADS, an intelligent automatic drive system so you can work at whichever pace you choose. The mower moves at your chosen walking speed, adapting to your pace even on inclines. Apart from making use comfortable and bespoke to your own movement, this means you can tackle more difficult areas or longer patches of grass as slowly as you need to or move faster if you wish to get the job done quicker. The Toro 20952 has a tough steel deck for strength and durability and comes with a number of great features for cutting, convenience and comfort. Three-in-one cutting is offered, with cut and collect – to the time-saving large sized, 60.5 litre grass collector, cut and side-discharge – for mowing longer grass and cut and mulch that can be carried out with or without the bag in place. It is here, when it comes to mulching, that Toro’s pioneering research and development really comes to the fore. First of all you can switch between cut and collect and mulching with the simple pull of a lever, saving time spent removing the grass collector, fetching the mulch plug and putting it in. Secondly, Toro have perfected the mulching process, designing the cutting chamber and the blade to maximise the process, creating optimum air flow to keep the cuttings in the chamber for longer so they can be cut many times before they are dropped in among the grass blades to become natural fertiliser, breaking down, providing nutrients and improving the general health and appearance of the lawn. Cutting height can, of course be adjusted and is 2-point, lever operated with six stages available at 21, 33, 50, 67, 84 and 98 millimetres for maximum flexibility. The deck contains a wash port, so you can attach a hose and sluice out the cutting deck after use. This feature is an important part of maintenance, maximises efficiency, reduces wear or corrosion and keeps performance high. More comfort and convenience are in evidence when you look at the handles, which fold down easily with no fuss making storage and transport very easy. The main handle bar is also fitted with a soft-grip for comfort. A full, two-year warranty comes with this high quality lawn mower.

Mountfield 827H Compact Lawn Rider (Second Hand - One Seasons Use)

Mountfield 827H Compact Lawn Rider (Second Hand – One Seasons Use) £1099.00
The perfect ride-on mower for lawns up to around 3000m2, especially those with space-restricted areas, the Mountfield 827H is one of the most compact machines of its type in production (it has a 66cm width-of-cut). Making it tick is an ultra-dependable four-stroke power-unit from Mountfield’s impressive 5500-Series. Benefiting from an overhead-valve configuration, these high-performance four-stroke engines deliver their power smoothly, cleanly and quietly; and use a lot less fuel than their conventional side-valve counterparts. There’s no troublesome pull-type starter; Mountfield have provided a stress-reducing electric key starter. Thanks to its hydrostatic transmission, the Mountfield 827H Compact Lawn Rider can be driven rather like an automatic car – simply press the foot-pedal and you’ll gradually accelerate according the amount of pressure you apply. This makes it much easier to negotiate obstacles and end-of-pass turns, and also allows you to precisely tailor the ground speed to suit whatever conditions you’re dealing with. The Mountfield 827H is supplied with a very roomy 150-litre grassbag, which you can empty from the comfort of the driver’s seat. The fact that the bag is made from breathable fabric means that spent air can escape, thereby ensuring it’s filled to maximum capacity. A six-step height-of-cut, adjustable between 25 and 80mm, allows you to manage the changing grass-conditions that will inevitably occur as the season progresses. If you’d prefer to recycle your grass-clippings, an optional mulch-kit is offered. A trailer-hitch is also available.

Mountfield 1538M SD Side-Discharge Lawn & Garden Tractor Mower (Special Offer)

Mountfield 1538M SD Side-Discharge Lawn & Garden Tractor Mower (Special Offer) was £1499.00 now £1399.00
As with all Mountfield lawn & garden tractors, the 1538M-SD is characterised by its superior build-quality; attractive, up-to-the-minute styling; and impressively low price-point. It’s a dual-capability machine, with mulching and side-discharge modes offered as standard. Mulching is the obvious choice when looking after a formal, regularly trimmed lawn; while side-discharge will come into its own on the sort of long, damp grass found in meadows, paddocks and orchards. Versatility is further enhanced by the inclusion of a tow-bar, which opens-up the possibility of working with one of the many trailed attachments that are available from MowDIRECT. Under the bonnet of the Mountfield 1538M-SD Side-Discharge Lawn & Garden Tractor lies a high-performance 14.5hp GGP engine that’s the result of ten-years of rigorous testing; and which has been specifically designed for use on garden tractors. It’s an OHV-type unit, so low fuel-costs and quiet, low-vibration operation are guaranteed. The Mountfield 1538M-SD employs Mountfield’s ContraFlo cutting-system, whereby the powerful airflow created by the counter-rotating action of the two blades works optimise performance when it comes to both mulching-capability and quality-of-cut. The blade height can be adjusted through seven stages between 25 and 80mm, so you’ll have no problems managing changing conditions. Thanks to its five-speed manual transmission (plus reverse), you can drive the Mountfield 1538M-SD at a speed that best suits not only the grass-type you’re mowing, but also the nature of the terrain you’re negotiating. Wide profile tyres provide the grip you’ll need when operating on hilly or muddy ground; while twin headlights mean you’ll be able to carry on working safely in low-light conditions.
