...specialist advice should be sought from your local dealer who can visit your garden to advise on which tractor and what size of cut is best for you!

Purchasing a Garden Tractor is a major investment and careful consideration should be given as to which tractor is right for you. Before making any decision, you should ask yourself.

• What size area of grass am I cutting?
• Is this all fine lawn or are there mixed areas of formal lawn and paddocks?
• Do I cut my lawn regularly or do I leave it so that I am always cutting long grass?
• Have I got restricted access?

and these are questions that you will want to ask to one of our 400 plus Specialist Dealers:

1) Will the tractor work in British Conditions?

Our "Direct collect®" system has been specifically designed to cope with lush, wet grass plus the normal damp conditions usually found throughout the UK. This system eliminates the need for a powered sweeper. There are no expensive moving parts such as brushes, bearings, belts and pulleys to regularly maintain or replace. Wet cuttings are thrown direct from the blades, without touching the ground, straight through a large opening into the rear of the tractor, high into the bag where the grass circulates and is evenly distributed until the bag is full. When the bag is full, cuttings will drop to the ground. Some of our models offer audible warnings or deck cuts out.

2) Can I remain seated whilst emptying the grass?

Our "Direct collect®" systems have grass catchers that allow the operator to empty with minimal effort from the fully adjustable seat.

3) If I have undulations in my groung will the grass catcher follow the contours?

With our Direct collect®" fully mounted collector, it is left to the tractor wheels and floating cutter deck with its adjustable guiding wheels to follow the lie of the land for complete grass collection.

4) Can I cut the rough with the smooth and pick up fallen leaves?

You will be able to cut long paddock or orchard grass with some of our "Direct collect®" tractors and when you transfer to formal lawns you can expect the smoothest finish and be able to tidy up any fallen leaves. N.B. Always discuss area with you local dealer to ensure you select the correct model to suit your needs. Most modes have optional standard grass deflectors when grass collection is not required.

5) Can I cut grass without collection?

Our "Direct collect®" grass catcher can be easily lifted off by one person. An optional deflector (standard on 404,503,603,604) replaces the collector allowing the cuttings to be ejected to the rear eliminating spread over borders or pathways. N.B. Rear discharge models only.

6) Can I cut close to walls, fences or borders?

The cutter decks on our "Direct collect®" tractors are fitted with offset decks on the left side and overlap both front and rear wheels allowing close up cutting.

7) Are our tractors user friendly, comfortable and easy to operate?

Our "Direct collect®" tractors are compact without compromising on cutting width and, because the grass collector is easily removed, the tractor takes up little storage space. Those models fitted with automatic variable transmissions, hydrostatic or Autodrive make operation a pleasure. The seats are comfortable and the controls are minimal and simple.

8) Can I tow and operate accessories?

All "Direct collect®" tractors with the exception of the 404 are fitted with a tow baras standard to tow the full range of Agri-Fab accessories available. >>see range

9) What are the safety features?

All "Direct collect®" tractors have safety switches on the cutter deck, reverse gear and the seat. These safety switches cut out the engine if the operator leaves the seat whilst the tractor is in motion or if the cutter deck and reverse gear are selected at the same time.

10) Is extended warranty available?

All Lawnflite, tractors come with a FREE optional second year warranty provided the tractor has been serviced by an authorised dealer within the first twelve months of purchase. In addition if you choose a model with a Kohler engine for use in a domestic application you can benefit from a 5 year engine warranty, subject to conditions.
