It offers two-in-one mowing (mulch/side-discharge), so it can be set-up to perform effectively whatever the grass-length; and it employs a very high-capacity 656cc Briggs & Stratton V-Twin OHV engine that will impress when it comes to reliability, smoothness of operation and torque-output. The Simplicity Regent SLT110 benefits from a manoeuvrability-optimising hydrostatic transmission and can be paired-up with an optional twin-bagging system.
This premium-quality garden-tractor from leading Italian manufacturers Oleo-Mac has been built to commercial specifications and offers a multitude of high-end features designed to make challenging, large-scale mowing and towing tasks fast and hassle-free. It’s equipped with a pedal-controlled hydrostatic drive, which means you can keep your hands on the wheel at all times for enhanced safety and control; and it’s fitted with an immensely powerful 656cc Briggs & Stratton V-Twin OHV engine which delivers that power smoothly, quietly and efficiently. A rust-resistant aluminium cutter-deck and a reinforced steel frame contribute to the machine’s impressive durability; while a turning-circle of just 85cm and power-assisted steering combine to deliver outstanding manoeuvrability. The Oleo-Mac 124S/22H has an expansive 122cm width-of-cut.
With a substantial 107cm twin-bladed side-discharge cutter-deck; RevTEK reverse-mowing; and a V-Twin OHV engine, the high-specification Cub Cadet CC1018BHG Garden Tractor will get the job done with impressive speed and efficiency. It combines an intuitive foot-pedal hydro-drive with a class-leading turning-circle (17cm), so it offers manoeuvrability that belies its size; and it’s supplied with a mulch-plug you can fit when cutting formal, well maintained lawn-areas. A cast-iron front-axle ensure it will handle rough, undulating terrain; while a deluxe seat means long-hours of low-fatigue mowing and towing. A twin-bag collector is available separately.
The Cub Cadet XT2PS117 is the ideal tractor for mixed areas of grass where you do not necessarily want to collect the clippings. Instead the expansive 117cm side-discharge deck will make short work of orchard- and paddock-type areas, as well as more formal lawns if required. Power is provided by an 18hp Kawasaki twin-cylinder OHV engine, which is linked to a hydrostatic transmission with cruise-control. As with all Cub Cadet tractors, durability is enhanced by a cast-iron front axle. A cut-in-reverse system is a useful addition for those moments when turning the tractor around in a tight space is not practical. If you prefer to mulch grass-clippings for a tidier result, the supplied mulch-plug can be fitted (grass-collector optional). This model has a best-in-class 40cm turning-circle.
The Mountfield 1538M-SD side-discharge lawn tractor represents outstanding value for money and offers an effective solution for anyone who does not need or wishes to avoid collecting grass clippings. In tall growth conditions, such as that found in paddocks and orchards, the side discharge mode neatly cuts and spreads the grass so it can be left to wilt naturally. For areas that are being mown on a more regular basis and which require a smarter appearance, the mulching function cuts and re-cuts the grass into small particles which are blown down into the turf where they decompose, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. By mowing your grass on a more regular basis you will save time, effort and money without sacrificing the standard of finish. With its powerful 452cc STIGA engine, 5 speed transmission and extra wide 98cm cut, the Mountfield 1538M SD tractor mower is suitable for lawn and garden areas up to 6000m2 and represents one of the best value lawn tractors available.
The SLT300 offers durable construction, exceptional cutting ability and wide-ranging versatility. It's the only garden-tractor on the market to offer Automatic Controlled Traction; an advanced system that provides power to both wheels when needed, thereby enabling it to handle hilly terrain and/or slippery conditions. This 127cm model has a 2-in-1 deck (mulch optional extra & side-discharge) with a rear-roller for an attractive striped finish; and a powerful 23hp Briggs & Stratton twin-cylinder OHV engine for assured performance on the largest of lawns and under the toughest conditions.
Boasting four-wheel-drive; a powerful Tuff-Torque hydrostatic transmission; and a very high-performance Emak V-Twin engine, the commercial-grade Oleo-Mac 106S/24H will cope with the most challenging terrain the pro landscaper is likely to encounter. It’s equipped with power-assisted steering and has a turning-circle of just 85cm, so you’ll be able to whizz around obstacles with almost no effort expended; and it features an extra-wide discharge-chute that ensures cut-grass is packed efficiently into the cavernous 300-litre collector, even in damp weather. This premium, European-built tractor also offers a noise-reducing bonnet for a more pleasant working environment; and turf-saving tyres for a scuff-free finish on formal lawns. It has a 102cm cut.
The Stiga e-Ride C300 is the latest innovation in electric ride-on mowers from Stiga. This 1500w/48v battery-driven electric ride-on from Stiga harnesses cutting-edge lithium-ion cell technology and will challenge the preconceptions of the most committed devotees of the internal-combustion engine!

The Stiga e-Ride C300 has a 84cm cutting-width and is supplied with a 240-litre grassbag.
This attractively-styled tractor from renowned Swedish brand Stiga offers both side-discharge- and mulching-capabilities as standard, and as such will prove just as effective on neat, often-mown lawns as it will on unruly informal areas.

With its Transmatic Shift-on-the-Go drive; 96cm working-width; and very high-volume grass-catcher; the Lawnflite 380 XT-S should be seriously considered by anyone wanting to mow an expansive lawn as quickly as possible. It offers side-discharge as standard (with bagging and mulching optional), so will cope easily with very long grass; and it has an amazingly tight turning-radius for such a substantial machine, meaning those awkward end-of-pass turns will prove hassle-free. Power comes from an ultra-reliable MTD engine with a capacious 3.8-litre fuel-tank for reduced down-time.
Harnessing V-Twin OHV power and combining a huge 137cm cutting-width with a deluxe high-back seat, this beefy 726cc domestic-use garden-tractor from Cub Cadet is an efficient, fast and comfortable way to tackle large-scale mowing- and towing-jobs. It features a high-torque shaft-drive, so it will easily handle overgrown grass and heavy attachments; and it blends a gear-shift-free hydro drive with a class-leading 38cm turning-circle so as to maximise manoeuvrability.
