Ten Top Machines for the Autumn Toolshed

Leaves changing colour, falling temperatures, and the gradual erosion of our sunlit evenings is a sure sign that Autumn is on the way.

We’ve enjoyed a variable Summer season but I don’t think we can complain. We had a fair share of sunny days to enjoy our gardens and now we have to knuckle down and get on with the maintaining, preparing and clearing up.

So here are ten top tools for trimming, chopping and cleaning up your garden.

As leaves fall, it’s worth remembering that letting them sit on the lawn can cause real problems like disease and choking of the grass  (Drew mentioned this in his blog yesterday).

So it’s probably worth starting with this excellent cordless leaf blower from Redback, exclusive to MowDirect.

It’s lightweight at 2.5kg easy to use and compatible with any of the three powerful and advanced Samsung 40v lithium-ion batteries (2Ah; 4Ah; 6Ah) that offer petrol matching power, fast charging and long run times.

It has a variable speed control for versatiltiy and a super efficient brushless DC motor.

This one has a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and costs £89, £30 below the manufacturers RRP

And after you’ve cleared the leaves, it’s a really good idea to aerate and scarify, opening up the sward to receive more nutrients and water and removing moss and thatch for a lush lawn next year.

So take a look at this great value petrol aerator/scarifier.

The German engineered Einhell GE-SA 1335P Petrol Combi Scarifier / Aerator is a powerful and versatile little workhorse designed to give you a healthy and great looking lawn.

It’s powered by a n efficient and clean 53.2cc petrol engine offering 1.7hp / 1.3kW

This model has 20  aeration knives  and  26 scarifying spikes all made of durable and rust-free stainless steel.

It has single lever height adjustment and fully foldable handles for convenience and easy storage.

And don’t forget, it’s an aerator and scarifier so you get two functions for the price of one! 

It comes with a two-year warranty and this one costs £249.95, a full £150 below the maker’s recommended price.

Now’s also the time to be thinking about breaking up some of that hard ground in your vegetable patch or up at the allotment to prepare it for the Winter.

So here is the perfect tool to carry out that hard work and save your back.

The Einhell BG-MT 3360-LD Petrol Tiller/Cultivator is a rugged and German engineered machine with an extra wide tilling width of 60cm.

The engine is a reliable and efficient  6hp model with throttle-controlIt

This tiller/cultivator cuts through the soil with a set of six hard and strong tines with four blades each.

It sports a deadman’s handle to keep the operator safe and has an extra large fuel tank so you can work for longer without stopping.

This one costs £279.95 a massive £220 off the RRP and comes with a two-year warranty.

So here is a great chainsaw that will give you all the power you need for that tough job without breaking the bank or waking up the neighbours.

The Redback E216C Cordless Chainsaw (Tool Only) is a remarkable battery powered chainsaw that offers petrol power with cordless convenience.

The price is £179.00, £70 under the manufacturers listed price. The battery is available separately.

The grass in the orchard or the end of the garden has probably got a bit out of hand, so you’ll need a good trimmer to deal with it.

Enter the popular and great value MD Tondu Wheeled Trimmer, a big hit with customers and amazing value.

The five-star rated Tondu is exclusive to MowDirect and is quite possibly the best buy on the market. It is powered by an OHV, 160cc, 4-stroke from industry giants Loncin.

Other great features include a nylon line so you can work up close to obstacles and cause no damage, a rugged and durable steel deck and bail-arm control.

Now, here are a couple of great hedgetrimmers to help tame those out of control bushes and hedges.

This top-grade hedgetrimmer comes with a very reassuring five-year manufacturers warranty and costs only £329 , a whopping £90 below the manufacturers recommended price.

If you don’t want to use a petrol hedgetrimmer but need power that feels like petrol, and a tool that reaches and trims where others don’t, here’s a model that is just up your street.

The Redback E920D Cordless Pole-Hedgetrimmer (Tool Only) is part of a great range of premium grade cordless tools, exclusive to MowDirect and available at special prices.
