Ten top machines to keep the grass neat this winter

Mountrfield lawn and garden tractor

November has eased in with thick dew on the grass and morning mists and with darker evening there is little to encourage us into the garden.

But the lawns are growing quickly still and need to be trimmed once the dew has gone, once a week still, and may well need trimming all through the winter if it is a mild one.

So here are ten top machines for grass trimming all from top manufacturers around the world and at very keen prices.

This first one is from a top German company and also has the benefit of a Honda engine.

The  Al-Ko 4210HPD Easy Mow Petrol Power Driven Lawnmower has a unique cutting deck called ULTIMOW which allows you to collect the cut grass, discharge it to the side and mulch it, but take care when mulching at this time of the year as the grass needs to be dry before you do this.

The Honda engine is a 135cc model, easy to start, reliable and quiet.

Made with lawns around 800m2 in mind it has extra-large drive wheels and seven cutting heights from 25mm to 75mm. The cutting width is 45cm and the grass box holds 65 litres.

The recommended price is £459 but we have it for sale for £329. There is a five-year warranty and FREE delivery the next working day and we include FREE oil.

Now one from another German manufacturer and this mower is ideal if you have trees and small flower beds to cut round. And it’s new and exclusive to MowDirect.

The Einhell LE-PM 51S HWT Comfort-Turn Lawnmower is unlike any other mower for a medium-sized lawn with its front cast wheel which makes driving it so much easier especially around long curves on the lawn.

This feature has already attracted many favourable comments from our customers like “Brilliant” and “Delighted with this mower…love it!“.  Einhell LE-PM lawnmower

Tight turns: Einhell LE-PM Comfort Turn LawnmowerIt has eight cutting heights and the clippings can be collected or discharged to the rear or side as well as mulch when condition allow.

A hefty 196cc Einhell engine developing 3.75hp provides plenty of power and it has a 51cm cutting width and can be used on areas up to around 1400m2. The grass box holds 70 litres.

It costs £299, £200 off the recommended price and has a two-year warranty with FREE oil and FREE next working day delivery.

Now to Italy for a mower which has proved to be very popular as it offers such great value for money. This is one of our MowDirect

superstars with nearly 100 5-star reviews to its name and comments like “…impressive, it’s a well designed and engineered product”, “Most excellent machine” and “Best Mower I Have Ever Had – Lots of Power and Easy to Use“.

With four ways of dealing with the cut grass, the Oleo-Mac G53-TK AllRoad Plus-4 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower has a 196cc Emak engine and is made for lawns up to around 2000m2 with its 51cm cutting width.

With this one you can catch the cut grass in the 70-litre grass box which has an indicator to show when it is full. If you don’t want to collect you can discharge to the back or side or mulch.

It has extra-large drive wheels so it can handle all types of grass from the rough to the smooth.

The price is £319.95, £180 off the recommended price and it has a five-year warranty and FREE delivery the next working day, PLUS FREE OIL.

Those three mowers were from Europe, this one, a very solid mower is from the other side of the world in New Zealand.

The Morrison Oxford 54RS Self-Propelled Petrol Roller Lawnmower will leave the iconic stripe which epitomises the lawns on country houses – but don’t worry it looks just as good in town.

The rear roller also lets you mow close to lawn edges without it tumbling into the flower bed.

Customers have said “...very well put together, easy to use” “Good quality mower” and “The quality of cut is very high”

It has an aluminium cutting deck which has a 15-year warranty and has a Briggs & Stratton 163cc easy-starting engine at its core.

Supplied with a 70-litre grass box it has been designed for lawns between 500m2 and 1500m2.

With a five-year warranty and FREE delivery, it costs £699, £300 off the recommended price. And you also receive a free 10-litre Jerry can worth £24.95 and FREE oil. 

Now back home and what could be more British than this one new for this year and designed especially for UK lawns.

The Hayter Osprey 46 Push 3-in-1 Lawnmower (Code: 610A) is one you push along so you can be very precise around lawn edges rather than have the engine drag you a bit too close to the flowers in the border.

The cutting blade is drive by a 125cc Briggs & Stratton, mean on fuel and vibration levels and with a very effective engine silencer.

There are seven cutting heights from 25mm to 70mm and a grass box which holds 55 litres.

The cutting deck has a port which takes a garden hose so clearing down after mowing is a piece of cake. “another excellent machine from Hayter.Good manufacture and finish” and “Excellent lawn mower’ are some of the comments form customers.

The price is £269, £30 less than that recommended and it has a two-year warranty and FREE delivery the next working day as well as FREE oil thrown in. 

Larger lawns also need regular trimming, it’s not just the neat patch of grass at the back of the house. Indeed, larger lawns which are not touched through the autumn and winter can easily and very quickly come to look like a field more suited to sheep with the resulting ribald comments from ‘friends’.
