Many gardeners find a machinery manufacturer and stick to it for all their powered tools.
And one of those is Mountfield, a favourite for years, with a wide range of machinery including mowers, tractors, brush cutters and a good selection of chainsaws.
And if you’re considering giving the hedge another trim here’s a really popular cutter. While you probably have already given it a first trim it’s probably getting straggly now with new growth and the odd bramble shoots.
One of their most popular machines, the Mountfield MHJ2424 Double-Bladed Petrol Hedgetrimmer (61cm Blade), currently on special offer is just the job.
This is a strong little worker with a long guide bar and 28mm between the cutting teeth so you can tackle thicker, older stems as well as new growth.
A 24.5cc engine provides plenty of power and above all, the machine is well balanced making it less tiring to use. It weighs 5.5kg.
The rear handle has three positions so it is easy to cut hedge sides and tops.
It costs £149.95, is delivered free the next working day and has a one year warranty.
Now let’s have a look at a couple of brushcutters.
The Mountfield MT2801J Two-Stroke Grass Trimmer is ideal for lawns edges and has a bump-feed strimming line head.
With this feature you just bump the strimming head on the ground and more line is automatically fed out – no fiddling around and doing it by hand any more.
It has a 25.4cc engine and a 26mm drive shaft and as it weighs only 6.5kg it can be used for long periods in comfort.
The shaft can be split for easier transport in the boot of the car.
You can also buy a 40cm articulating hedgecutter attachment and a 25cm chainsaw pruner attachment to fit on to the strimmer, each costs £79.
And there are special prices on engine oil, fuel mixing bottle, replacement line and work gloves.
It costs £159, £20 off the recommended price and has a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
The Mountfield MB2802 Two-Stroke Brushcutter has a mean blade for cutting though undergrowth like gorse and brambles as well as a strimming head for lawn edges.
The ‘chopper’ style handlebars make it easy to use in a sweeping motion, useful if you are cutting larger areas.
It weighs 8.1kg and a shoulder harness is also supplied to make it less tiring to use – it also has advanced anti-vibration technology.
With this machine you receive a free safety helmet with visor and ear muffs which normally costs £24.95.
And there are also special prices on a range of extras.
It costs £199, £40 of the recommended price and is delivered free the next working day with a two year warranty.
If you have a wood burner and want to prepare your own fuel, this chainsaw will do the trick.
The Mountfield
Two-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw has a 35cm guide bar and has Mountfield’s own 37.2cc engine which has a pump primer to make it easy to start.
You can use this chainsaw for felling sham trees and cutting away branches.
And to keep it working efficiently there is a chain tensioning mechanism at the side. It also has a sprocket nose which eases the chain around the end of the guide bar and avoids excessive wear and tear.
It has a double-action chain brake as a safety feature.
It costs £149, £30 off the recommended price and there are special prices on a helmet with visor and ear muffs, chainsaw gloves, engine oil, fuel mixing bottle and a spare chain.
Now let’s have a look at mowers and start with a type becoming increasingly popular.

This is a rear roller mower which will lead a neatly-striped finish and has a polypropylene chassis for a long life.
It has cutting heights from 25mm to 75mm and a working width of 34cm. The grass box holds 35 litres.
