Lawn tractors are the answer through the summer for keeping larger lawns looking their best.
But they can also be used all the year round for a host of tasks around the garden and at this time of the year are particularly useful for towing trailers to the compost and mechanised leaf sweepers around the lawn.
So here are are three top ride-ons from Mountfield, one of the country’s favourite garden machinery brands, at the keenest prices which will keep the garden looking its best throughout autumn.
The first is the Mountfield 1538M SD Side-Discharge Lawn & Garden Tractor Mower.
This machine has a mulch kit supplied for the main lawn but is especially useful for the longer areas in paddocks and orchards.
It also has a tow bar to turn it into an all-round garden workhorse as it can tow trailers, scarifiers and, especially useful in the coming months towed leaf sweepers.
The engine has 14.5 hp and has been designed specifically for garden tractors and it has five forward gears and one reverse. The cutting heights are from 25 mm up to 80 mm.
It costs £1499, £200 less than the manufacturer’s recommended price. It has a two year warranty from Mountfield and is delivered free with three to five working days.
The mulch plug and tow bar are included in the price but there is a rang of useful attachments which you obtain at special prices if you include them with the order, like a steel tipping trailer for £99.
This great lawn tractor, the Mountfield 1430M Lawn Tractor
is one of our best sellers has twin cutting blades and an 82 cm cutting deck to give an extra smooth finish to larger lawns.
These cutting blades give a great finish even when it’s wet and the extra air created under the cutting deck help collect the grass more efficiently, even when it’s a bit damp.
Another handy feature is that there is a loud bleep when the grass box needs emptyingand it can be emptied from the driver’s seat.
The 432 cc engine is one of Mountfield’s own designed for a longer life and it has five forward and one reverse gears.
The deck is engaged electronically, chunky tyres give excellent grip and there is a headlight to keep you working when it’s murky.
You can also buy a mulch plug and a rear deflector to take care of virtually all grass cutting requirements. Plus there is a free front bumper, just in case!
There is a two year warranty from Mountfield and delivery is free within two to three working days.
It costs £1599, and that’s £200 less than the maker’s recommended price.
Plus there are a number of handy attachments which can be ordered at the same time at special prices, like a towed dethatcher for only £59.
The Mountfield 3000SH Lawn Tractor has an 82 cm cutting width with twin cutting blades.
It has a Honda 389 cc engine, a great little motor which produces few few emissions, is quiet when running and has very low vibration levels.
A great feature of this engine is that it automatically decompresses to make starting much easier. The dual blades give a stronger airflow through the cutting deck and gives better grass collection – there is a 240 litre grass box.
Hydrostatic transmission means this machine is especially easy to drive and it has a adjustable sprung seat for even more comfort.
Cutting heights are from 25mm to 80mm and there is a handy deck washing facility – simply attach a hose and run the engine to sluice the water around.
Mountfield’s recommended price is £2209 but we have it for sale for £1999. Again there is a two year warranty from the manufacturers and free delivery within three to five working days.
