It’s hard work being a reindeer at this time of December.

That sleigh seems to get heavier by the year and it’s not a lot of fun pulling it, let alone flying.

So that’s why we reindeer welcome the gifts of a lawn or garden tractor just as much as those receiving it. For we often hook it up the sleigh to give us a rest for a bit.

Santa doesn’t mind, it was his idea.

So here are a couple of machines welcomed by reindeer and gardeners alike.

Garden Machinery : Two perfect Christmas gifts !

The Lawnflite 903 XT-S Lawn Tractor 

Now really we should have finished with cutting the grass but the lawn is still growing unusually well for this time of year and could do with a mini trim.

This ride-on has a ‘Rear-discharge high-vacuum deck’ system for collecting in both wet and dry conditions. 

Wet grass tends to clump and stay on the lawn but this system will collect the clippings even in the wet.

The cutting width is 105cm making it suitable for lawns up to 6000m2 and it has cutting widths from 30mm to 95mm. And with a cutting deck offset you can mow right up to the lawn edges.

It is easy to drive – much like an automatic car – and it has a Briggs & Stratton engine started with a key.

It costs £2399 and has a two year Manufacturer’s warranty. Delivery is free and within two to three working days. Also, it arrives fully assembled and ready to use! 

The Mountfield 827H Compact Lawn Rider

For those with a slightly smaller lawn, this would make a great gift.

The Mountfield 827H Compact Lawn Rider (2019 Edition) has a 66cm cutting width and has six cutting heights from 30mm to 80mm.

Neat and simple to drive, it can navigate large garden gates and is excellent for cutting around flower beds as the speed is controlled by one foot pedal.

The grass box holds 150 litres and can be emptied from the driver’s seat.

You can also buy a trailer hitch and a mulch kit as optional extras.

It costs £1499, £100 less than the price recommended and has a two year Manufacturer’s warranty.

We deliver it free within three to five working days and arrives fully assembled, ready to use.
