Mowers from Italy ideal to tackle the lush autumn growth

With all the recent rains, lawns are now looking as well as they were in Spring with fresh, lush growth.

If you’ve left your lawn a while because you’ve been away, don’t be tempted to cut it too short, indeed, longer lawns will look much better at this time of year.

And should there be an early morning frost, they will better resist damage to the stems and roots.

You may well find that the old mower you’ve tried to nurse through the summer can’t cope with grass like this, so here are three top mowers from Oleo-Mac which are great value for money and top performers.

Oleo-Mac is a major European brand, manufactured in Italy and all its machines have a three year warranty.

If you have a smaller lawn then this little one should be on anyone’s shortlist.

The Oleo-Mac G48-PK Petrol Push Lawn Mower has a steel deck and a 140cc engine. The starting cord is on the handlebars making it easier to fire up.

The cutting width is 46cm and it has cutting heights from 28mm to75mm with a grass box that holds 60 litres. It is an ideal mower for lawns up to around 1400m2.

It costs just £199.95, £60 off the recommended price and has a three year warranty and free next working day delivery.

If you have a larger lawn, say up to 1500m2, then have a look at this one, also currently on special offer.

The Oleo-Mac G53-TK Petrol Self-Propelled Lawn Mower has a 159cc engine from parent company Emak which drives it along at a comfortable walking pace of 3.6km/h.

Cutting heights are from 28mm to75mm and it has a 60 litre grass box.

The powder-coated cutting deck will resist scratches and corrosion and give it a longer working life.

With this one you can currently save £150 on the maker’s recommended price as it costs just £239.95.

If you want to mulch the clippings – cut them down to tea leaf-sized pieces before dropping them back to the lawn where they break down – you can buy a mulch plug for £20.

Again there is free next-working-day delivery and a three-year warranty.

And this one, the Oleo-Mac G53-TK AllRoad Plus-4 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower, has a 196cc engine, will tackle really large lawns and has the versatility to cope with all manner of mowing challenges.

It has four ways of disposing of the clippings. They are either discharged to the side or back – useful when cutting orchards or paths – or mulched, or they can be collected in the massive 70 litre grass box.

The large rear drive wheels mean it can tackle rougher areas.

It costs £299.95, £200 off the recommended retail price, has a three-year warranty and free next working day delivery.
