NEW battery walk-behind mowers from John Deere

Suitable for areas of grass up to 400m² or 500m², the cordless mowers are quiet and fuss free.  The new lawnmowers are environmentally friendly with no fumes or emissions but without the restrictions of a cable. Battery mowers are ideal for areas of grass with no access to a power socket.  Their light weight means it’s easy to maneuver around bushes, trees or other obstacles and makes them good for slopes, banks, and areas that are awkward to reach.

The long life 40-volt 4.0 Ah Lithium-Ion battery produces excellent mowing results and performs particularly well for gardeners who like to mow a little and often.  With a fully charged battery, the cordless mower operates for around 20 minutes.  Charging the battery takes around 90 minutes.

The cordless mowers are easy to operate and to maintain with no regular servicing required other than replacing the blade every third season. The handles are easily adjusted, to cater for varying heights of the operator and individual preference. They are also foldable, making the mower convenient to store where space is limited.  Both models come with a two-year warranty.

The height of cut is simple to adjust, and the mower comes with a 44-litre collection bag.  The recommended retail price is £673 including VAT.
