Front mower or garden tractor? It is a question of manoeuvrability. In open spaces
a tractor is an excellent choice. If there are lots of trees and bushes it is easier with
a front-mounted cutting deck. You can see the difference.
Front mowers
MANOEUVRABILITY. The articulated steering means that
the rear wheels follow exactly in the front wheel tracks. You
have full control and can easily navigate around bushes and
trees without running into them.
LESS WORK AFTERWARDS. Because the cutting deck
is at the front, nothing is missed. You avoid having to trim
afterwards.
TWO-IN-ONE. The new Combi cutting deck combines two
cutting technologies: The Multiclip mows and fertilizes at the
same time. If the grass gets too long you can change to rear
discharge.
ALL-TERRAIN. The four-wheel drive which is fitted to sev-
eral lawn mowers means that you get good grip and can stop
and start on a slope without the wheels spinning and damaging
the lawn. Recommended in hilly terrain.
VERSATILITY. Park and Villa are year-round machines with
large implement ranges (see pages 22–27). From brush units
and trailers to snow blades and snow blowers.
Tractors
CAPACITY. A lot of engine and cutting capacity for the money,
particularly effective on open spaces. Garden is recommended for
up to 1000 m

. For larger areas, Estate is better.
COMPACT. If the choice is between a walk-behind and a ride-on
lawn mower, then Garden Compact is an excellent alternative.
Thanks to the compact format, it can operate in tight spaces and
requires minimal storage area.
COLLECTION AND MULTICLIP. Both cutting technologies
are included on Estate as standard. If the grass gets too long between
cuts, add a deflector and run with rear discharge.
NOW EVEN SMOOTHER. With straighter chutes and an even
more spacious collector, you can suck up every last blade of grass.
You can empty the collector from the seat. Certain models have an
electric lift, so it is enough just to press the button.
LONG SEASON. The implement range (see pages 22 and 31)
means that Estate tractors can also earn their keep as leaf and snow
clearers and also as implement carriers – depending on the season.
