Spring, if that’s the season we’re in, seems to be playing her usual tricks. One day warm enough to be comfortable in a sweater, the next fishing out thick coats as the wind veers to the north and east and blows blasts of Arctic air our way.
But you can start trimming the lawn, as many of you already have, just snipping off the very tips of winter grass to encourage new life.
If you want a new mower, then chances are that UK leading brand Mountfield will have the answer.
They have an extensive range of mowers and also some best-selling lawn tractors as well.
Here are three from their mower range starting with the, a long-time best seller.
Suitable for lawns around 800m2, the Mountfield HP180 Petrol Rotary Hand-Propelled Lawnmower has a Briggs & Stratton 125cc engine and a cutting width of 45cm.
This is a mower that you push rather than one which propels itself and is easier to work around narrow areas and flower beds with odd shapes – larger rear wheels help this.
Weighing only 25kg, it has a shaped cutting deck to create a powerful air current and power the clippings into the 55-litre grass box.
This is bad of fibre to help the airflow but has a plastic top to prevent dust blowing into the face of the user.
It has five cutting heights from 20mm to 70mm and has a folding handlebar so it is easy to fit into the cart boot.
A long-time favourite, you can see what other customers thought of the machine here.
It costs £199, £100 off the recommended price and has a two-year warranty. We deliver it free the working day following receipt of your order.
