We know that may of you are currently considering buying a ride-on garden tractor and here is one of the best value models we have ever been able to offer.
The MTD 125-96B Lawn & Garden Tractor is a truly versatile piece of garden machinery with a host of uses – it even has a snow plough as an optional extra.
It has a shift on the go transmission which gives a smoother ride and obviates the need to stop to change gears – there are five forward and five reverse gears as well.
This garden tractor discharges clippings to the side, is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine and has a steel body for a long working life.
It has a very tight turning circle which is handy for cutting orchards and around flower beds and allotments.
For sheer value for money this model takes some beating – £1199 – a full £600 off the manufacturer’s recommended retail price.
But the true versatility of the tractor can be appreciated when you see the huge range of optional extras available.
You can tow a roller behind it to flatten out a lumpy lawn, attach a trailer for carting seedlings in Spring and wood in winter, use a garden sprayer or a leaf sweeper or even a snow plough.
An optional mulch plug costs £50 and a twin bag catcher for the cuttings is £338.
Delivery is free within the next three to five working days and there is a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
