Ten great garden machinery deals for May

You can’t put it off any longer.

If you haven’t trimmed the lawn and started work on the vegetable plot or flower borders this is the time to get cracking.

There are a thousand and one jobs to do but, depending on where you live, remember there is still a likelihood of sharp overnight frosts which can discolour a lawn cut too short or kill tender bedding plants.

Having said that there is still plenty of work for the holiday weekend and the week ahead, so here are ten top deals on garden machinery to make life a little easier.

First is a machine new for this year and exclusive to MowDirect.

Lawns need a little loving care after the winter and this is a great little machine to breathe new life into an old lawn.

Einhell GE-SC 35LI Solo Cordless Scarifier is the first of its kind, light and easy to use and great for a smaller lawn.

It has 16 steel blades to ease out moss and flat growing weeds as well as dead grass. This allows nutrients and moisture to penetrate through to the roots and lets the grass flourish.

There are three working depths and large wheels would scuff the surface.

As optional extras there are a debris collector and an aerator roller and the machine comes with a charger and two batteries.

It costs £199.95, £180 less than Einhell’s recommended selling price. We deliver it free the next working day and there is a two year warranty.

If you have a bigger lawn one will do two jobs for you. And again it’s new for 2016.

Einhell GE-SA 1335P Petrol Combi Scarifier / Aerator is a great value-for-money machine with an aeration roller with 20 knives to cut small slits into the turf and allow moisture in.

And there is also a scarifying roller with 26 spikes to tease out all the rubbish stopping the lawn from breathing. Changing the rollers over is fact and simple.

There are three working depths and the handlebars can be adjusted to suit the person using it.

It costs £199.95, an amazing £200 off the makers recommended price, we deliver it free the next working day and there is a two-year warranty from Einhell.

And we make no apologies for going to Einhell once again for the third machine as they design  and manufacture solid value-for-money equipment.

The Einhell BG-MT 3360-LD Petrol Tiller / Cultivator is an exclusive machine with a set of six cultivator blades. There is also a set of crop protection discs which prevent damage to growing plants.

A 163cc engine powers the cultivator along, easy to start and reliable.

A brake-skid is adjustable and varies the depth at which you till. The handlebars are also adjustable to suit the height of the worker.

The machine is fitted with a dead man’s handle which stops the engine when it is release – there is nothing so embarrassing as an out-of-control tiller trundling across other gardener’s allotments!

The maker’s recommended price is £499.95, but we are selling it for £279.95, with free delivery and a two-year warranty from Einhell.

Here’s another tiller new and exclusive to MowDirect and from a leading Italian manufacturer of garden machinery.

The benefits of the Oleo-Mac MH175RK Front-Tine Tiller with Reverse Drive are in the title.

A reverse gear is really handy when the machine gets ‘dug in’ and also when you reach the end of the row it saves a lot of heaving (and possibly cursing) as you turn it around the return trip down the garden.

It is powered by an Emak 183cc engine which is made for a long life. The handlebars are adjustable and the tilling width has two settings, either 60cm for working between the rows or 80cm for larger areas.

It costs £379, £150 off the maker’s recommended price, has a three year warranty and free next working day delivery.

Here’s another one new for this year.

Mitox 171

Petrol Multi-Tool combines a brushcutter and long reach hedgetrimmer as well as a grass trimmer all easily attached to a shaft a main shaft and powered by a 25.4cc engine.

The grass trimmer has a twin-line strimmer head with the line fed out by a bump-feed mechanism, the brushcutter has a 25.5cm metal blade with three mean teeth and the long-reach hedgetrimmer has 40cm double sided blades which tur through 90 degrees to make it easier to cut hedge tops.

You can buy a 77.5cm extension shaft separately.

It costs £179, £70 off the recommended price, has a two year warranty and is delivered free the next working day.

Now a great little mower new and exclusive for this year and made with smaller lawn is mind.

Morrison Surecut 3-in-1 Petrol Push Lawnmower has a Briggs & Stratton 125cc engine designed to be an easy-starter and will cut the lawn for short – down to just 15mm.

As it is a push mower it is easy to work around borders and garden furniture especially as it has larger rear wheels.

It is priced at £179, £70 off the maker’s recommended price, has a two year warranty and is delivered free the next working day.

Here’s another new and exclusive mower with loads of special features.

It is a tough and rugged mower and yet light as it has an aluminium cutting deck which also resists corrosion.

The MTX Jupiter 53SPA Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower with Alloy Deck (Exclusive Special Offer) is really versatile in that you can either collect the grass clippings in the 65-litre box, mulchy them or discharge to the rear.

It is powered by a 170cc engine and has a 53cm cutting width making is suitable for medium to larger-sized lawns.

It also has a front bumper – well, you never – know and a carrying handle at the front.

We deliver it free the next working day with a two year warranty. And it costs £299, £130 less than the recommended price.

Now a mower for a lawn around 1000m2 and the one to consider if you want to leave a striped finish.

Morrison Oxford 48RS Self-Propelled Petrol Roller Lawnmower is a top quality machine with a 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine which starts effortlessly, is comparatively quiet when running and is built to last.

The rear roller will not only leave a striped finish but will enable you to cut right up the edges of paths and flower borders.

It is fitted with a Quick-Cut blade which the maker  say will reduce mowing time by 15 per cent.

The cutting deck is made from aluminium to resist corrosion and the re is a 15 year warranty on this.

It has a 46cm cutting width and cutting heights right down to 10mm and up to 70mm.

This one costs £599, £200 off the price recommended and has a two year warranty. We deliver it free the next working day.

Now a couple of lawn tractors and this first one is from a leading American maker of garden machinery.

The MTD 2-in-1 Combi Lawn Tractor has a 420cc engine started with a key and has a 96cm cutting width.

With this machine you can eject cutting to the side where a neat finish is not so important and mulch them where appearance is more important.

It has a very tight turning circle and five cutting heights from 30mm to 95mm. And it is fitted with a very comfortable seat and a tow bar.

We deliver it free within two to three working days but order it by 3pm Friday and for a small extra charge we can deliver it on Saturday. It’s great value at £1,299.00 and it has a two year maker’s warranty.

And finally an exclusive special offer on a great lawn tractor which has a free garden trailer as a special offer.

The MTD Bolens Lawn Tractor, exclusive and on special offer, has a 92cm cutting width, a 240-litre grass box and is suitable for lawns up to 6000m2.

This one is a great collector of wet grass with its Direct-Collect system and twin cutting blades producing a very powerful air flow to blast the clippings into the collecting box.

As a further feature the grass box can be emptied without leaving the driver’s seat. You can also buy the kit for mulching the clippings if you prefer.

The power comes from a Briggs & Stratton 344cc engine and the grass box can be easily removed for fitting other attachments. You’ll really welcome a leaf sweeper when autumn arrives.

Bolens B36 lawn tractor

Work horse: Bolens B36 lawn tractor

There are seven gears with Transmatic transmission to give precise speed control.

For a limited period there is a free garden trailer worth £199, handy for carting top soil, logs for the fire and the like.
