			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For over 20 years power tool manufacturer Ryobi have earned an enviable reputation for producing high quality garden tools suitable for both the domestic and professional user. Looking at the needs of their customers and constantly assessing the feedback received has led them to being one of the most innovative companies within the gardening industry. More than thirty new Ryobi products will enter the gardening market in 2009, from petrol brush cutters to cordless hedge trimmers powered with the latest lithium-ion batteries, all designed to make life in the garden that little bit more comfortable for you, the end user.<span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_RYOBI_BRUSHCUTTERS___PETROL_STRIMMERS_311.html">Ryobi`s petrol powered strimmers and brushcutters </a>receive a make-over for 2009 with five new models in total. The Ryobi RLT30CET 30cc 2-stroke line trimmer with Quick Fire Engine technology and Ergo Handle will ensure easy starting and comfortable use when tidying lawn borders and edges whilst the Ryobi RLT430CES 30cc petrol engine line trimmer will keep polluting emissions to a minimum thanks to new 4-stroke engine technology. If you need to clear an area of established undergrowth a petrol brush cutter will be necessary; the Ryobi RBC30SET 30cc petrol brush-cutter with loop handle will be ideal in tight spaces whereas the Ryobi RBC30SBT 30cc petrol brush-cutter with wide-grip bicycle style handlebars is the better choice on more open ground. The Ryobi RBC430SES 30cc petrol brush-cutter is an ideal combination of power and low emission performance; with clean burning 4-stroke petrol engine it will produce trouble free starts with the minimum of effort. Smaller gardens may benefit from the use of an <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_MAINS_ELECTRIC_GRASS_TRIMMERS___STRIMMERS_236.html">electrical grass trimmer</a>; the 300 watt Ryobi RLT3025F line trimmer or 400 watt Ryobi RLT4025 line trimmer will make short work of overgrown grass around pots and flowerbeds.</p>
<p>To make full use of the aforementioned machines will require the user to invest in the very successful Expand-It range of line trimmer and brush-cutter attachments from Ryobi. Enabling you to turn your investment into any one of ten tools, the Expand It line offers great versatility. Two products are upgraded for 2009 alongside the introduction of two new products. The Ryobi AED-04 Edger Attachment and Ryobi ABE-04 Blower Attachment replace previous models while the all new Ryobi AHT-04 Articulating Hedge Cutter Attachment and Ryobi APR-04 15⁰ Pruner Attachment will assist in the maintenance of tall hedges and trees.</p>
<p>Staying with the wooded theme we can briefly touch on three new <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_CHAINSAWS_5.html">chainsaws</a> to be released next year. For the preparation of firewood or pruning of small, easy to reach branches the Ryobi RCS3335A 33cc 2-stroke petrol chainsaw or Ryobi RCS3535CA 35cc 2-stroke petrol chainsaw will be ideal due to their light weight and 14&#8243; bar; the latter machine also has Tool-Less Chain Tensioning as standard. If your need is for a slightly larger machine you may wish to look at the Ryobi RCS4040CA with 40cc 2-stroke petrol engine and 16&#8243; bar; perfect for all-round domestic use. If your preference is for electrical power two new Ryobi 1800 watt chainsaws will be of interest; the Ryobi RCS1835 electric chainsaw with 14&#8243; bar and Ryobi RCS2040 electric chainsaw with 16&#8243; bar will provide reliable, pollution free service. When the highest of branches need lopping the 720 watt Ryobi RPP720 Pole Chain Pruner with 10&#8243; bar angled at 15⁰ will leave nothing out of reach due to a total extendibility of 270cm.</p>
<p>When the time has come to begin the autumn tidy up of your garden you will benefit from having several items of equipment in your shed. A good quality <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_HEDGETRIMMERS___HEDGECUTTERS_4.html">hedge trimmer </a>will leave bushes and border hedging in good order for winter. Ryobi have recognised this important point by introducing two new electrical hedgetrimmers; the Ryobi RHT400R 400 watt hedge-trimmer will make light work of standard height hedges thanks to an 18&#8243; blade with 18mm tooth spacing. If you have hedging that is on the tall side the Ryobi RPT400 Pole Hedge Cutter with articulating 18&#8243; blade will come to your rescue; no more wobbly ladders to balance atop. To dispose of the multitude of clippings you will undoubtedly be left with you will need a chipper/shredder; the Ryobi RSH2400R Shredder with a 2400 watt motor will process these clippings into valuable compost. At the same time you may like to process the fallen leaves you have collected with your Ryobi RBL26BPT Back Pack Blower; a 30cc 2-stroke engine and Cruise Control will leave no leaf unturned.</p>
<p>It may be that some of you have taken to using cordless tools recently. If this is the case several new products from the Ryobi One+ range of cordless garden tools will be of interest. Two new hedge-trimmers include the Ryobi CHT1850P One+ 18 volt Ni-Cd Hedge Trimmer Starter Kit and Ryobi CHT1850LC One+ 18 volt Lithium-Ion Hedge Trimmer Starter Kit, the latter offering super quick charging times and little drop-off in performance when running low. If quick and easy trimming of rough lawn edges is required the Ryobi CLT1830P One+ 18 volt Ni-Cd Line Trimmer Starter Kit or Ryobi CLT1830LC One+ 18 volt Lithium-Ion Line Trimmer Starter Kit will perform admirably. To keep your cordless tools in a permanent working state it is worthwhile to invest in spare batteries; new for 2009 will be the Ryobi BPL1815 One+ 18 volt Lithium-Ion battery, Ryobi BPL1815/2 One+ 18 volt Lithium-Ion battery pack containing two batteries and the Ryobi BLK1815/2 One+ 18 volt Lithium-Ion battery and charger set.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_PRESSURE_WASHERS_173.html">High pressure washers </a>have become a must have tool for many householders making the tiresome chores of car washing and patio cleaning less of a back-breaking job. Ryobi will offer two new electric pressure washers in 2009 and a revolutionary new petrol machine. Providing 100 bar and 120 bar of pressure respectively the Ryobi RPW100E Electric Pressure Washer with 1400 watt motor and Ryobi RPW120E Electric Pressure Washer with 1600 watt motor will literally blow grime away. If your needs are for a more powerful machine the Ryobi RPW2400WB Wheeled Petrol Pressure Washer offers a variety of operating modes and assorted spray tips to help you tackle any dirty job that confronts you.</p>
<p>No matter what your gardening needs are in 2009, <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_RYOBI_GARDEN_POWER_TOOLS__LOW__LOW_PRICES__737.html">Ryobi</a> will be right behind you all the way, leaving you safe in the knowledge that all of their products are backed by a full two year manufacturing warranty and comprehensive customer service advice should the need arise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the deluge of new products flooding onto the gardening market every year we feel, here at Mowdirect, that we should offer some guidance as to which products are worth a closer look. In this blog we will run through the new models from the 2009 range of lawn and garden products from Bosch, the esteemed German appliance manufacturer. Ever since their beginnings in Stuttgart, 1886, Bosch have led the way with innovative electrical solutions to many a domestic chore. They continue this trend today with ground-breaking products for lawn and garden, from battery powered lawnmowers, hedgetrimmers and secateurs to compact pressure washers and a new verticutter and lawn rake, all designed with ergonomics and ease of use in mind.<span id="more-49"></span></p>
<p>Most people regard the lawn as the centre-piece of their garden; it will therefore make sense for us to start this blog by briefly looking at <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_LAWN_MOWERS_566.html">lawn mowers</a>. Bosch have introduced a new <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_CORDLESS___BATTERY_POWERED_LAWN_MOWERS_949.html">cordless lawn mower</a> to cater for those of you with very small lawns; the new Bosch Rotak 34 Li Cordless Lawn Mower is powered by a single 36 volt Lithium-Ion battery offering excellent performance characteristics and super quick charge times of only one hour.</p>
<p>Completely new for 2009 are the Bosch ALR 900 Electric Lawnraker and Bosch AVR 1100 Electric Verticutter. These <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_AERATORS_AND_SCARIFIERS_212.html">aerator-lawn scarifiers </a>are essential to keep your lawn in top condition year after year. For fast and efficient removal of moss and thatch that may have built up at grass root level the Bosch ALR 900 Electric Lawnraker is ideal, carefully lifting unwanted detritus to allow oxygen and nutrients back into your lawn. Serious problem areas where root compaction sits alongside built up thatch may require a more aggressive approach. This is the ideal time to use the Bosch AVR 1100 Electric Verticutter which will penetrate the soil surface cutting and lifting rooted thatch and moss with fourteen well positioned slitting knives.</p>
<p>Tidying up in all of the areas you cannot get your lawnmower has never been easier thanks to the Bosch range of electric and <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_CORDLESS_LINETRIMMERS___STRIMMERS_31.html">cordless strimmers</a>. Bosch offer four battery powered machines; Lithium-ion technology is provided on the Bosch ART 23 LI and ART 26 LI Grass Trimmers whilst maximum power is available from the 18 volt Ni-Cd driven Bosch ART 23 Accutrim and Bosch ART 26 Accutrim Grass Trimmers. All Bosch cordless strimmers are equipped with a polymer blade offering accurate trimming and low power consumption.</p>
<p>The trimming of garden hedges has never been easier with the introduction of a new range of <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BATTERY_POWERED_CORDLESS_HEDGETRIMMERS.html">cordless hedgetrimmers</a> from Bosch. There are four separate models; two 18 volt Lithium-ion hedge cutters, the Bosch AHS 48 LI and Bosch AHS 52 LI, both equipped with Power-Tech anti-stall technology and laser cut, diamond ground blades for a clean cut. For extra long running time choose the Bosch AHS 52 Accu Cordless Hedgecutter; supplied with two 14.4 volt Ni-Cd batteries providing the user with a continuous running time of 110 minutes.</p>
<p>Over recent years many homeowners have taken to shaping and styling small shrubs and bushes grown in pots and kept on patios. This form of domestic topiary has not been missed by the design team at Bosch who have been quick to develop the Bosch Isio range of <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/CORDLESS_HAND_HELD_TRIMMING_SYSTEMS.html">cordless trimming tools</a>. The complete range is powered by a 3.6 volt Lithium-ion battery and includes the Bosch Isio Cordless Shrub Shear; perfect for shaping small leafed hedges, the Bosch Isio Edging Shear; great for keeping lawn edges neat and tidy, the Bosch Isio Shape and Edge Set which is a combination of the aforementioned tools in one great value for money package. The Bosch Isio Cordless Telescopic Shears which will prevent many a tiresome backache allowing the user to trim edges both vertically and in the horizontal position. To conclude the range of hand-held cordless Bosch tools we have the brand new Bosch Ciso Battery Powered Secateurs capable of 500 cuts per single charge of the 3.6 volt Lithium-ion power-pack.</p>
<p>Once pruning and hedge trimming are complete, most of us will be left with a large amount of debris that needs to be disposed of. The most beneficial way of doing this for both the gardener and the environment is to mulch this material in a <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_GARDEN_CHIPPERS___SHREDDERS_144.html">garden shredder</a>; thus reducing our impact on landfill sites and making the most of a precious garden commodity. Bosch have introduced some exciting new electrically powered products for 2009 to complement their existing range; two new drum shredders will ensure the quiet mulching of small branches and twigs with both the Bosch AXT 22 D and Bosch AXT 25 D Garden Shredders capable of processing up to 190 kg of material per hour. Top of the range will be the innovative Bosch AXT 23 TC and Bosch AXT 25 TC Garden Shredders with respective 2300 watt and 2500 watt motors; capable of processing up to 230 kg of mixed material per hour due to a special turbine cutting system and neatly packing down to nearly half working size for storage.</p>
<p>When it comes to thoroughly cleaning the outside of your home and garden, Bosch will be leading the way in 2009 with a comprehensive range of <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_PRESSURE_WASHERS_173.html">power pressure washers</a>, from the light weight <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/NEW_BOSCH_COMPACT_PRESSURE_WASHERS.html">Compact Range of Pressure Washers </a>through to the powerful <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/NEW_BOSCH_PRO_PRESSURE_WASHERS.html">Pro Range of Pressure Washers</a>; all aspects of domestic cleaning are covered. A sure favourite for anyone wishing to purchase a portable, ergonomic high-pressure washer for countless jobs around the home, the Bosch Aquatak GO Pressure Washer with an 1100 watt motor and 100 bar of pressure will help you clean patios, dirty wellington boots, bicycles and countless other day to day objects. If you need increased performance for slightly more effective cleaning the Bosch Aquatak GO Plus Pressure Washer has an increased flow rate of 330 litres an hour. Both washers are supplied with a removable 4 wheel trolley for greater freedom of movement. If speed and ease of use are paramount the Bosch Power Range of pressure washers will perfectly match your needs. The entry level to the range is the Bosch Aquatak 1200 Plus Pressure Washer; with 120 bar of pressure and a flow rate of 390 litres an hour it will cover a multitude of cleaning tasks. Ergonomic design is the hallmark of the new Clic models; with fully retractable ‘Easy-Roll&#8217; automatic winding system for both the high-pressure hose and power cable the Bosch Aquatak Clic 125, Bosch Aquatak Clic 130, Bosch Aquatak Clic 135 and Bosch Aquatak Clic 140 Pressure Washers are destined to be favourites in many a UK household, not least for the motor sizes ranging from 1800 watts to 2300 watts.</p>
<p>Whatever your gardening needs, Bosch will have them covered in 2009. Whether you are maintaining a small town garden, pruning an orchard or cleaning a boat, Bosch will have the appropriate electrical or cordless tool for the job, built with the quality and performance that we all expect from this renowned German manufacturer.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of you will have noticed recently that the days are shorter, the temperature is dropping and that Christmas is only just around the corner. More important to all of you with gardens, large or small, is the annual tidy before putting your gardens into sleep mode until next spring. This will of course include the pruning and trimming back of hedges and trees, the clearing up of leaves and digging up of diseased or dying plants. However, all of this industrious work creates a whole new problem; waste and what to do with it. We cannot simply leave it lying in our gardens creating an unsightly mess and of course if we ask for our local authority to take it away we simply add to the landfill problem afflicting the UK. Our best alternative is of course to recycle and reuse this so called waste and turn it into one of the most valuable commodities in your garden - good compost. How will we do this you ask? The purchase of a good quality garden chipper/shredder is the answer and below we will look at some of the best <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_PETROL_CHIPPER_SHREDDERS_282.html">petrol engine chippers &amp; shredders </a>available from Mowdirect.</p>
<p><span id="more-47"></span>We need to briefly explain what comprises a chipper/shredder. Simply put it is a machine driven by an engine or motor with the ability to process garden waste. Generally speaking these machines will have an aperture for shredding loose garden materials such as leaves and twigs with a secondary chipping aperture where thicker, more-fibrous materials such as branches can be processed. Due to the courser nature of branches the blade configuration is generally of a spinning disc type which produces the neat woodchips we all like to use as a weed suppressant on our flowerbeds.</p>
<p>You may have a garden of medium size or smaller in which case you will not need a particularly high output machine. More appropriate will be a chipper/shredder that can deliver consistently good mulching results time after time alongside great reliability. Falling nicely into this category are the Ardisam CS6, MTD 24-350G and MTD 24-463. Wisconsin based Ardisam have been producing innovative garden products since 1960. This wealth of experience is apparent in the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BAKER_CHIPPER_SHREDDERS_PETROL.html">Ardisam CS6 Petrol Chipper-Shredder</a> priced at £599.00 which boasts a 5.5hp Briggs and Stratton petrol engine and amazing triple cutting action with patented triple triangular hammer which literally pulverises waste materials into perfect mulch. Staying with the more compact and upright shredders leads us to the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_MTD_LAWNFLITE_PETROL_CHIPPER_SHREDDERS_1102.html">MTD 24-350G Petrol Chipper-Shredder </a>at £569.00 which offers exceptional value for money when you consider it can easily mulch branches of 4cm in width with ease. Last but not least there is the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_MTD_LAWNFLITE_PETROL_CHIPPER_SHREDDERS_1102.html">MTD 24-463 Petrol Chipper-shredder</a> on offer at £679.00 which is an horizontal style chipper/shredder designed to be lowered to ground level whereby leaves can be swept easily into the large plastic hopper; negating the need to lift large handfuls from ground level in a repetitive and tiresome manner.</p>
<p>If you have a particularly large garden or simply live in a wooded area a chipper/shredder with a powerful engine capable of long periods of use may be a necessity. Most machines in this category will follow similar design principles to those mentioned previously; the difference being the amount of waste they can process. MTD, originating from Ohio, manufacture the excellent <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_MTD_LAWNFLITE_PETROL_CHIPPERS_1216.html">MTD 24-465 Chipper-Shredder</a> (£799.00). This particular chipper /shredder is of similar design to the smaller MTD 45-463; equipped with a 7.5hp Briggs and Stratton petrol engine, 12 reversible flail blades and 2 hardened chipper blades it will make light work of large quantities of mixed garden litter with a reduction ratio of 10:1. From Ardisam we have the ever reliable and compact <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/CHIPPER_SHREDDERS_BAKER_PETROL.html">CS8 (£749.00) and CS10 (£799.00) chipper shredders </a>with their respective 8 and 10 horsepower Briggs and Stratton petrol engines. Following identical design principles to the Ardisam CS6 these two chipper shredders will produce excellent mulch and chippings for composting and flower bed dressing. Also available to fit all of the Ardisam chipper/shredders is the optional vacuum kit (£149.00); simply attach the large diameter hose pipe to your machine and suck all of the leaves up from ground level.</p>
<p>Finally we get to the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MIGHTY_MAC_PETROL_CHIPPER-SHREDDERS.html">Mighty Mac Woodsman 6 (£749.00) and Woodsman 10 (£899.00) chipper/shredders</a>. American made by MacKissic of Pennsylvania and boasting high grade steel throughout; these chipper/shredders will withstand years of hard use. Utilising a horizontal design which allows the user to sweep leaf litter into the shredder hopper at ground level and capable of chipping 2&#8243; and 3&#8243; branches respectively it will be difficult for the normal gardeners amongst you to overwork one of these machines.</p>
<p>With respect to the last comment in this blog it may well be that one of you out there will indeed be capable of overworking a chipper/shredder designed for domestic use. If this is the case look no further than the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MIGHTY_MAC_PETROL_CHIPPERS.html">Mighty Mac Woodsman Pro Chipper Shredder </a>priced at an exceptional £1,599.00. With the ability to chip branches 3.5&#8243; in diameter and a separate flywheel containing 24 swinging blades; it will make short work of garden waste from the largest of gardens; even those containing extensive orchards and arboreta.</p>
<p>In summary, the larger a garden that you have will require you to purchase a larger and more powerful <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_PETROL_CHIPPERS___SHREDDERS_1197.html">chipper/shredder</a>. In most cases a machine with a 5hp to 6hp engine such as the Ardisam CS6 Chipper-shredder, on special offer at £599.00 will be adequate. However, if your needs are greater and you intend to produce large amounts of mulch it is well worth considering a chipper/shredder with a larger engine; the Mighty Mac Woodsman 10 Chipper-shredder is well worth considering at a very low £899.00.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hayter have just announced the launch of two new lawn mowers for the 2009 season. Following on from last season&#8217;s introduction of the ‘R48&#8242; mulching mowers, the Hayter R53S and R53A Recycling Lawn Mowers are soon to be released. Details have been seeping out from Hayter&#8217;s Spellbrook HQ and the company told MowDIRECT that the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/NEW__HAYTER_RECYCLING_LAWN_MOWERS_.html">new Recycling mowers </a>‘have been developed with both the environment and the end user at the forefront.&#8217; They added: ‘This will expand the Hayter recycling product range whilst also offering a wider selection in our four-wheel product category.&#8217;<span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>The new Hayter R53S and R53A lawnmowers are identical in features and distinguished from one another only by the material of the cutting deck. The R53S Recycling Lawn Mower has a pressed steel deck and is intended to be a functional and high quality product. The cast aluminium deck on the R53A Recycling Lawn Mower builds on the qualities of the steel deck, but offers the additional benefit of a durable, long lasting and rust free material.</p>
<p>The key features shared by the Hayter R53S and R53A Recycling lawn mowers include the choice of recycling, collecting or discharging the grass cuttings. Both models also have a Briggs and Stratton 6.75 ‘Ready Start&#8217; engine with electric key start facility. One of the more innovative features on these recycling mowers is the ‘Sens-a-speed&#8217; variable speed transmission that automatically adjusts to your walking pace - a great idea and unique to Hayter!</p>
<p>The recycling feature on these mulching lawn mowers helps to maintain a healthy and green lawn by re-circulating the grass clippings into a fine mulch and then returning them to the lawn where they rapidly decompose, putting precious nutrients back into the soil. This helps save on chemical forms of fertilizer and so provides an environmental benefit to your garden.</p>
<p>The two new Hayter Recycling mowers will be available from MowDIRECT in February, 2009. Check back soon and visit our page on <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/NEW__HAYTER_RECYCLING_LAWN_MOWERS_.html">Hayter Recycling Lawn Mowers </a>where you will find full product details on the R53S and R53A Recyclers as well as the best deals available online with our Fast, Free delivery service and cheapest prices!</p>

<p>Over the past 40 years, Missouri-based <a href="http://www.billygoat.com/">Billy Goat Industries </a>has developed a world-wide reputation for producing outstanding garden-debris management equipment at affordable prices, and their new <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BILLY_GOAT_KV_ESTATE_SERIES_LAWN_VACUUMS.html">KV Estate series of wheeled lawn-vacuums </a>is no exception. Driven by powerful and exceptionally reliable Honda or Briggs &amp; Stratton engines, these highly effective lawn vacs offer huge amounts of suction power, enabling them to deal quickly and easily with leaves, litter and even glass bottles. The new KV Estate Vacs also feature an improved debris reduction system, enabling you to reduce organic material to a fine, nutrient rich mulch, ideal for composting.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 200px"><a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BILLY_GOAT_KV_ESTATE_SERIES_LAWN_VACUUMS.html"><img title="Billy Goat KV650H Vacuum" src="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BILLY_GOAT_KV650H_LEAF_VACUUM_190W.jpg" alt="Clean Up Your World" width="190" height="208" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Clean Up Your World</p></div>
<p>Billy Goat&#8217;s KV range is sure to include a lawn vacuum that meets your needs. Whether you prefer the power and performance of a Honda engine, or the proven reliability and unmatchable longevity of a Briggs &amp; Stratton motor, we have a machine for you. The <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BILLY_GOAT_KV_ESTATE_SERIES_LAWN_LITTER_VACUUMS.html">Billy Goat KV600 </a>(B &amp; S) and the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/BILLY_GOAT_KV_ESTATE_SERIES_LAWN_LITTER_VACUUMS.html">Billy Goat KV650H </a>(Honda) are both available with an on-board hose-kit for hard-to-reach areas - a feature usually reserved for professional machines. For even more comprehensive debris-management, you may prefer the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_BILLY_GOAT_TKD_SELF_PROPELLED_LAWN_VACUUM.html">Billy Goat TKV650SPH Lawn Vacuum</a>, which includes a chipper-chute, allowing you to dispose of branches and similar woody material.</p>

These machines incorporate an innovative traction-maximisation system, whereby the weight of the debris-bag is transferred to the rear-wheels for excellent grip in any conditions. As with all of the KV range, the debris-bags have a dust cover to protect the operator and use a new nautical-style fastening system in favour of a zip for improved durability.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the mixture of sunny weather and sudden downpours we have been experiencing in the past few weeks it seems we are set for a return of the traditional British summer. That means as well as seeing the covers coming out on Centre Court for the tennis at the weekend, we are likely to experience rapid growth of vegetation in the garden. And if you have long grass and tall weeds to mow down in awkward areas, our range of <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/WHEELED_TRIMMER_MOWERS.html">top selling trimmer mowers from DR </a>will help you keep on top of the job. <span id="more-39"></span></p>
<p>So how does a DR trimmer mower work and for what jobs in the garden might you use it? Unlike a traditional <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/MowDIRECT_LAWN_MOWERS_566.html">lawn mower</a>, the DR trimmer mower uses a nylon cord rather than a metal blade. This enables it to get right up close to the vegetation without fear of coming into contact with a solid object. <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/DR_WHEELED_TRIMMER_MOWERS.html">DR trimmer mowers </a>are particularly useful therefore for maintaining overgrown areas found around paths and rockeries, along fences and walls and in amongst trees and woody areas. They are also useful for tackling areas generally inaccessible to your normal lawnmower such as on banks and in ditches, pond edges, orchards and areas where the undergrowth is just too thick or the grass too tall for your normal mower to handle.</p>
<p>DR trimmer mowers come in three separate classes of machine - domestic for average home use, professional for heavy-duty domestic or light commercial use and full commercial machines for prolonged use on a day-to-day basis by contractors, councils, hire companies etc.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/ND_DRSPRINT5.htm">DR Sprint trimmer mowers </a>are intended for average domestic use and are the perfect choice for most homeowners looking for this type of machine. They are lightweight and nimble yet powerful enough to tackle even the longest of grass and tallest of weeds. Built to DR&#8217;s original patented design, the DR Sprint has all the features you would expect from a DR mower including 14-gauge steel frame, large puncture proof wheels, wide trimmer head to eliminate wrapping and Parallel Trimming Action to allow you to mow neatly along borders.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a slight step up in specifications and performance, the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/WHEELED_TRIMMER_MOWERS.html">DR Pro range of trimmer mowers</a> provides you with larger-sized 16&#8243; wheels for even greater manoeuvrability and a lightweight aluminium body to keep the weight down. DR Pro Trimmer Mowers also offer plenty enough power for mowing waist height weeds with ease.</p>
<p>For those seekink a top-of-the-range trimmer mower then the <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/ND_DRCOMMERCIAL675.htm">DR Commercial Wheeled Trimmer Mower </a>might just be for you. It has the same lightweight body as the Pro models but comes with a fearsomely powerful commercial grade engine for reliable heavy-duty use. Electric start comes as standard and there is a choice between a push model with large wheels and a power-driven machine which is suitable for uneven ground and hilly terrain up to 20 degrees.</p>
<p>All DR trimmer mowers are currently available at incredible <a href="http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/DR_WHEELED_TRIMMER_MOWERS.html">special offer prices </a>and can be ordered from MowDIRECT on overnight delivery with a range of accessories, maintenance kits and replacement nylon cord.</p>
