Four things to consider when buying cordless garden machinery

Being a cylinder mower, the Allett Liberty 30 will give a precision cut to your lawn. Powered by a 40 volt 4Ah lithium-ion battery, the Liberty 30 has the power and freedom of movement of a petrol mower whilst at the same time giving the cleanliness, convenience and quiet operation of an electric mower.

The Liberty 30 is hand propelled and a fully charged battery is capable of powering the cutting cylinder for approximately 40 minutes. As for any cordless mower, performance is always dependent on the cutting conditions but the battery can be fully recharged in 105 minutes. A dial on the switch allows the motor speed to be varied to achieve varying cuts per metre.

A five bladed cylinder gives a 12” (30cm) width of cut whilst the front roller and steel rear roller ensure a traditional striped finish to your lawn.

The Allett Liberty 30 is fitted with a Quick Cartridge (QC) system that allows the cylinder unit to be removed quickly for ease of maintenance. The cylinder cartridge can be replaced with an optional scarifier cartridge to turn the mower into a powered lawn rake.

The height of cut is easily adjusted via a dial on the side of the mower that gives five heights of cut and an additional setting for very low cutting or use with the scarifier.

When the mowing is done, the grass box cradle folds up and the handles fold for ease of storage.

The Stihl FSA57 cordless grass trimmer set is ideal for trimming grass under fences and around obstacles in small to medium sized gardens.

An AK10 battery is supplied in this set and gives up to 25 minutes of run time. An AL101 charger is also supplied and this takes 95 minutes to fully charge the AK10 battery.

The FSA57 is fitted with a Stihl AutoCut cutting head. The mowing line automatically feeds from the head when the mowing head is gently tapped on the ground. When it is time to refill with mowing line, refilling the head is a simple job. Optional PolyCut blades can also be used.

At the push of a button, the shaft height is adjustable to allow operators of different heights to use this grass trimmer comfortably. The loop handle angle can also be altered with ease.

The Hayter Harrier 41 has been in Hayter’s range for many years and the range now includes the Hayter Harrier 41 Cordless which incorporates all Hayter’s experience in manufacturing top quality mowers with the latest green technology. The result is a truly excellent mower suited to any small to medium sized lawn.

The Hayter Harrier 41 Cordless has a 16” (41cm) width of cut and is packed with features that will make cutting your grass a joy.

Cordless Technology – Hayter’s 60 volt cordless power unit is a serious alternative to traditional petrol engines. The battery provides clean and quiet power to a high-performance brushless DC motor.

Power Boost – A Power Boost feature maximises the run time from the battery by only providing maximum power when needed. Clever sensors monitor the performance of the mower and provide just enough power for the conditions thereby limiting power consumption and prolonging the battery’s run time.

Split Rear Roller – The rear roller on the Hayter Harrier 41 will give that classic striped finish to your lawn. The roller is split allowing each half to rotate independently which makes for easier turning and avoids the marks on the lawn that can be left by single piece rollers.

Variable Speed Drive – The Hayter Harrier 41 Cordless mower is self-propelled and the forward walking pace can be altered to suit the operator and cutting conditions.

Vari-Pitch – The latest Hayter Harrier 41 range features Vari-Pitch cutting technology that automatically adjusts the forward-pitch angle of the cutter deck as the height of cut is raised or lowered, increasing airflow in more difficult conditions to ensure efficient grass collection.

Single Lever Height of Cut Adjustment – Adjusting the height of cut on your Hayter Harrier 41 Cordless is simple. A single lever gives seven different settings to choose from.

Superior Cut and Collection – Using aerospace technology, the design of the blade and the cutter deck have been optimised to pack the grass clippings into the 60 litre grass bag. When the grass bag is full, it simply lifts through the handles for easy emptying.

Trim Side – The Hayter Harrier 41 Cordless features Hayter’s Trim Side which allows you to cut right to the edge of your lawn. On one side, the wheel, cutter blade and rear roller are positioned in-line allowing easy mowing around borders, raised flower beds and retaining walls, reducing the need to trim around the lawn after mowing.

Aluminium Cutter Deck – For maximum strength and durability, the Hayter Harrier 41 uses an aluminium cutter deck.

Wash Port – Keeping your new Hayter Harrier 41 clean is easy thanks to the wash port integrated into the cutter deck. Simply plug in the hose, switch the water on and start the blade to clean the underside of the cutter deck.

Soft-Grip Handle – The soft-grip handle ensures your comfort whilst operating the mower.

The battery and charger are sold separately. With a 6Ah battery, this mower is recommended for lawns of up to 300m² and can achieve a maximum coverage of 860m².

The Hayter Harrier 41 is an excellent mower and, for your peace of mind, Hayter offer a 5 year domestic use warranty (3 years on the battery and charger) and a lifetime warranty on the cutter deck.

The STIHL BGA45 is a cordless leaf blower that is both lightweight and easy to use. The perfect blower for smaller gardens, making clearing leaves, dirt and debris an effortless task.

An integrated lithium-ion battery gives up to 10 minutes of run time for blowing away fallen leaves and grass clippings in the smaller garden. A charge indicator on the side of the blower shows the remaining battery charge. A charger is supplied as standard and takes 300 minutes to fully recharge the battery.
