Enjoy the ultimate easy mowing experience with this impressive four-in-one lawn mower from long-established German manufacturers Al-Ko. Modern in design & function, the Al-Ko 5250HWS is equipped with additional aluminium components on the handlebar-fixing & adjustment-points, enhancing both durability & performance. The front of the cutter-deck is also reinforced with aluminium. Power is provided by an ultra-dependable & user friendly Honda GCV160 OHC petrol engine, which not only drives the 51cm blade, but also turns the extra-large, high-traction rear wheels. This ensures undulating ground, slopes, & rough-grass can be traversed without problem. The pressed-steel ' Ultimow' cutting-deck on this model ensures excellent collection-performance, due to the increased airflow created by its aerodynamically-optimised underside. Convenient single lever height-of-cut adjustment allows for mowing at seven different cutting-heights between 30 & 80mm; while ball-bearing wheels provide smooth-operation & won’t become stiff with age (as can be the case with cheaper bush-mounted wheels). If grass collection is not practical because the grass-conditions are too heavy, or you wish to mulch during drier periods of weather, both side-discharge & mulch options are available (as is rear-discharge mode). Other premium features include a height-adjustable handlebar, which means the mower can be used comfortably by operators of any stature; & a heavy-duty, deck-mounted h&-grip, which makes it easy to lift the mower up steps or into the boot of the car.
