A ride-on or garden tractor isn’t only for trimming the lawns and grassy areas.
It’s an essential all-year piece of garden machinery if you have a larger area to maintain and is especially useful at the moment if you have a trailer for carting fallen leaves and prunings, wood for the fire and rubbish to the bonfire.
So here are five top trailers which will turn make the most of your garden tractor this autumn.
Great value: MD steel tipping trailer
The first is the MD 225T Steel Tipping Trailer sturdy and robust enough for a host of tasks around the garden.
The bed of the trailer is made from heavy duty steel for a long life and is finished in a powder-coated paint to minimise corrosion.
It can take a load of up to 225 kg and has a capacity of ten cubic feet.
The tyres are heavy duty 16 in to keep the trailer balanced when towing and add to its strength.
