With VAT due to go up in the New Year and some manufacturers considering raising their prices as well, this is an ideal time to purchase a top lawn tractor – even though the view through your window may resemble the frozen wastes of Siberia.
But gardeners should remember that the sap on bigger trees has already started rising and that the shortest day is fast approaching.
We have managed to secure some unbeatable deals on Club Cadet Front Cut 50 Zero Turn mowers – one of the most advanced mowers available in this country.
The design of the machine means you can turn a full circle on the spot making it the perfect mower for getting round those narrow lawns and sharply curving flower beds.
It is ideal for larger lawns with light touch steering, a comfortable high-backed seat and arm rests.
The 50 inch cutting width is the widest you will find on a mower of this type and is especially suitable for lawns of up to five acres and beyond.
It has six cutting settings which can be adjusted without leaving the tractor seat. And the rear roller gives a perfect striped finish as well.
The power comes from a robust 22hp Kawasaki engine.The special price of £3,499 includes VAT at 17.5 per cent and free delivery within two or three days. It has a full two-year manufacturer’s warranty and comes fully assembled and ready to use – once the grass starts growing.
If you are fortunate enough to own a large lawn, another lawn tractor at a very special price at the moment is the Mountfield 2248H.
Powered by a 22hp Briggs and Stratton twin cylinder engine, it is a very comfortable machine to drive with a variable hydrostatic transmission.
Other points to note are the adjustable high-backed seat and an illuminated diagnostic display.
When the collector is full an audible alarm sounds. Grass cuttings can also be mulched and put back on the lawn if you prefer.
