Ten versatile mowers designed with larger gardens in mind

Mountfield HW511-PD lawn mwoer

Believe it or not, the first signs of Spring are there for all to see, snowdrops in the woods, crocuses in the garden and bright sunny days alternating with buckets of rain.

This rain will ensure that once it warms up a bit more the grass will really put on a spurt. For the first cut, don’t be tempted to start with the mower set too low.

And as a quick tip, it’s never a bad thing to cut the lawn in the opposite direction to that you would normally – the next cut will give a more even finish.

Chances are you will need a new machine, so here are ten top quality machines to consider with the larger lawn in mind.

Oleo-Mac G53 TK All Road lawnmower

Oleo-Mac G53-TK lawn mower

Some offer mulching as a way of disposing of the clippings, but only carry this out when the lawn is dry.

The first is the Oleo-Mac G53-TK AllRoad Plus-4 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower currently on special offer and a great value for money mower – see the reviews for what other purchasers have to say.

It has a wide cutting width, a huge 196 cc engine and cutting heights from 28mm to 75mm with six settings.

And you can get rid of the cuttings either by discharging to the side or back, collecting them or mulching. This makes it suitable for trimming packs paths and rougher areas as well as your lawn.

It costs £299.95, £200 less than the maker’s recommended price and has a three year warranty. We deliver it free the next working day.

That last one was exclusive to us from Italy, this one is from a leading German manufacturing company.

The Al-Ko 46BRA Power-Driven 4-in-1 Petrol Lawn Mower has a 140 cc engine designed to start easily and has a 46 cm cutting width.

Like the previous one it has four similar ways of disposing of cuttings and this one has cutting heights from 30 mm to 80 mm with seven options.

The 65 litre grass box has an indicator to show when it’s full and large drive wheels give it extra grip and make it suitable for negotiating flower beds and garden paths.

This one costs £335, has a two year warranty and free delivery the next working day.

This is a mower with a wide cutting width from one of Britain’s favourite brands.

The Mountfield HW511-PD 4-in-1 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower has similar four ways of dealing with clippings and a 160 cc engine.
