Are you one of those people who struggle along all day with your walk-behind lawnmower mowing vast tracts of lawn without an end in site? Maybe you’ve been put off in the past by the extra cost of a sit-on style lawnmower? Or perhaps you have just moved to a new home with a large lawn and are looking for an economical means to cut the grass? Either way you’ll want to take a look at these great low cost ride-on mowers & tractors from leading American manufacturer Murray. They offer a great entry point into the ride-on tractor market and are currently on Special Offer at MowDIRECT!
A bit of background history first. Murray has been making ride-on mowers and tractors for 40 years and is now owned by engine manufacturer Briggs & Stratton. For a period in the Eighties and Nineties Murray was British owned and went on to become one of the most popular ride-on brands in the UK. Murray also currently makes ride-ons for Hayter, a leading British brand. Now, after an absence from the UK market of a few years, Briggs & Stratton has re-launched the Murray brand name and we are able to present you with two exciting low cost ride-on mowing options which are suitable even for first time users.
First up is the Murray Mid-Engine Rider (309008X51). This neat little ride-on has a 75cm (30″) cutting width which compares favourably with other ride-on mowers of this type and will ensure a quick cut on lawns up to an acre. Its 10.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine offers reliability and provides enough power to enable it to tow smaller-sized ride-on mower attachments. There are couple of things we really like about this ride-on mower. Firstly it is compact is size and has an extremely tight turning circle to help you negotiate any obstacles or awkward areas of lawn. Secondly, the Murray Mid Engine Rider has a 3-in-1 cutting system which allows you to choose between collection on lawns, mulching in drier weather or discharging the grass cuttings where the grass is longer. It’s great therefore for dealing with the varied conditions we get in Britain. On Special Offer, you can currently purchase the Murray Mid-Engine Rider for just £1149 – a saving of £150 on the R.R.P.!
The second low cost Murray ride-on recently launched on MowDIRECT is the Murray Rear-Discharge Lawn Tractor. This ride-on also features a 75 cm (30″) cutting width but comes with a more powerful 14.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine making it suitable for gardens up to around an acre and a half in size. The rear-discharge collection system is designed to handle wet British conditions and won’t clog-up in the same way as a tractor with a side chute. Currently on Special Offer, the Murray Rear-Discharge Lawn Tractor can be purchased online at MowDIRECT for just £1199 – a saving of £160 on the manufacturer’s R.R.P.
