Product Spotlight: Hedge Cutter

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could trim a hedge down to it’s perfect length and it just… didn’t grow anymore? Sadly, that won’t happen, and your perfectly sculptured hedge will start to look wild and rough eventually.

But, it can be trimmed, and the project can start again. Maybe try something new? Whatever the size and shape there is a Hedge Cutter suitable for your need.



The Tanaka TCH22EAP2 is great for home or lighter commercial use. It has low emissions from it’s 22cc Pure Fire Engine and also smooth low-effort pull starts.

The Twist Handle is great for giving you the best opportunity to be able to work at the correct angle.

The Tanaka TCH 22ECP2 features the same twist handle and easy start as the previous example, but has an extra 16cm in length. This allows you to spend less time completing those big jobs.

Not that spending time with this hedge cutter is a problem as it’s anti-vibration strings makes this tool very comfortable to use.

Tanaka TCH 22ECP2 - £299

Finally, the Tanaka TCH22ECP2 puts all of this together into one very long package. Having all the advantages of the previous 2 models, but has a whopping 780mm double sided, tripe edge blade.

From the small to the large, from the waist high to head high, World of Mowers has a hedge cutter that is suited to your needs and budget.

Spring Lawn Renovation

Our last few posts have looked at the now… Salt Spreaders, Winter Mower Repairs and Winter Lawn Maintenance.

It’s time to look forward a bit, towards spring where it’s a good time to renovate your lawn if it’s not looking as good as it could. There are a few steps to take which is why it’s good to cover them now, so you have time to think about them before the weather returns to more outdoor friendly temperature.

Let’s look at one particular job you might consider, Scarifying and Reseeding.

Some parts of your Lawn may not look too healthy (If your lawn suffers from excessive thatching etc) so the lawn may need scarifying... Now it will mean you will have to do this until the scarifier machine itself hits soil which will mean that portion of the lawn will be bare.

Then you can rebuild. Then you need to ‘repair’ this newly scarified patch of Lawn. To do this, you can use spiked roller to makes holes in the ground and also flatten it out a little if it’s uneven.

These holes allow water, oxygen and nutrients to get into the soil so you can bring back life into the lawn. This newly revived patch of lawn can then be reseeded and will grow back much healthier then before with regular watering.


Agri-FabPush 50lb Spreader 45-0409A - £69
So, something to consider. If in autumn/winter you’ve looked out at your lawn and wished you had done something to make it better this year, start to plan now.

Product Spotlight: Salt Spreaders

With the met office forecasting the arrival of La Niña this winter, it’s time to get prepared. The last time we saw La Niña was the winter of 2010 which saw unprecedented snowfall and a big freeze.

The weather in this winter let to a surge in the sale of snow shovels, rock salt and salt spreaders.

So with the return of La Niña this winter, it might be the ideal time to invest in salt spreaders.

World of Mowers have a few options some of which double up as seed and fertiliser spreaders.

For smaller areas an easier and less expensive option is a small salt spreader.

Small Salt Spreader SSS2 - £305

This one has a 60kg hopper size and its pneumatic wheels make it easy to push over uneven ground. In the summer months the spreader can be used for seed and fertiliser.

For larger areas there is the Large Manual Salt Spreader.

Large Manual Salt Spreader SSLA - £799

This salt spreader has an integral agitator to create an even spread and a skirt to control the width of the spread and can also be used with fertiliser and seed.

If you are looking for a salt spreader that can be towed rather than pushed, the towed disc spreader is easily attached to your vehicle and has an adjustable speed control depending on what you are spreading. A handy showerproof cover keeps the salt dry while you are spreading.

Towed Disc Spreader TDS125 - £399

Most of the spreaders available at World of Mowers can be used for salt spreading. So take a look at what is on offer at World of Mowers this winter before the weather turns.

Winter Lawn Mower Repairs

Following on from our previous post on maintenance for your lawn mower this winter. Now is the ideal time to fix any issues with your lawn mower and get your equipment in working order. Spares are available for most lawnmowers and are available to buy from World of Mowers.

The first step is to identify your model number and if possible identify the part number you require. Model numbers are usually contained on labels that will contain the company name, the model number and the serial number.

Using the model number is the quickest way to narrow down which lawn mower you have but if you aren’t 100% sure you can narrow it down using the world of mowers website with certain brands such as Mountfield.

If you know for example your mower is a Mountfield lawn mower and it is a ride on, you can click on Mountfield spare parts, then Ride on Mower Spares.

Then choose from Lawn Tractors or Front Cut mowers, eg Front Cut Mowers, then pick the production year eg. 2007, this then narrows it down to one of two models. Which makes finding a spare a little bit easier.

Once you have narrowed it down to the model, either by model number or by using the website, you can then select the part of the mower that contains the part eg steering, then you can identify the part using the detailed diagrams and order the relevant part to fix your mower.

So if you are fixing your lawn mower this winter, take advantage of the spares available from World of Mowers with Brands including Mountfield and Stiga and links to Tanaka, Lawnflite, Yard-Man Agri-Fab, Lawnflite Pro, Victa, Rover and Cub Cadet Spares.

Winter Lawn Mower Maintenance

November! The calendar slowly ticks forward to 2018, the weather gets colder, the nights get darker quicker and the work in the garden is slowing down…

We recently looked at what you can do to take care of your Lawn in November, but it’s not just the greenery that you need to prep for Winter.

Your Lawn Mower, Battery or Petrol, will need a few bits of maintenance in Winter to make sure it’s at 100% when needed in Spring.

So grab your gloves, the operators manual and… a stick, and follow these essential tips for winter lawn mower maintenance.

Remove the Battery

For your Battery Mower you will need to remove the battery. (The same goes for your other battery powered items). Firstly disconnect it (starting with the negative lead) and give it a clean with a cloth.

Store the battery indoors as keeping it at room temperature over Winter will help to extend its life.

Some batteries might also benefit from a charge over Winter, but some will not so make sure you check the manual to see what it suggests.

Also, if it’s going to be 30 days before the next charge then try to keep your lithium-ion battery around 40% but again, check the manual to see what it suggests.

Clean the Mower

Get rid of all the leaves, grass etc from your Mower. Obviously be EXTRA careful cleaning the deck which is necessary to help performance and stop the spread of disease.

Again, consult the manual before doing any of this but the first step will be to disconnect the spark plugs and empty the fuel tank (more on that later) and tie/tape up any moving parts.

Put the Mower on its side and give it a spray with a hose pipe to loosen anything you can’t reach. No matter what, don’t risk putting your hand somewhere dangerous, use that stick I mentioned earlier to knock loose anything the hose can’t get.

Empty the Fuel tank

On a Petrol Mower there are a couple of things that are important. We’ve mentioned them before but they’re important, so I’ll do it again.

• Fuel goes off so you need to get it out of your Mower

• An empty tank is bad too!

So (and again, check the manual to be sure) you need to empty the tank and refill it.

Empty the tank, then refill it with fresh fuel with a fuel stabiliser or fuel preserver to keep the fuel fresh in the tank. Run the engine for a couple of minutes to make sure the newly preserved fuel is in all parts of the engine.

The reason you don’t want to keep it empty is that if the tank fills with oxygen is creates condensation, condensation creates rust and rust in your carburetor can clog up the system, decreasing performance.

 Keep it Dry

The final point is a little obvious but worth highlighting, make sure your Mower stays dry over Winter.

Store it in a dry place including away from items like a Water heater.

So that’s it, follow these maintenance tips and your Mower will be good to go when you need it next.

November Lawn Care

November is here and as the Tulip Bulbs go in and the more tender plants come out there is still a lot of lawn maintenance to be done before it’s too late. We’re approaching what could be the ‘last cut of the year’ and this November in 2017 is due to be a cold one so the earlier the start, the better.

Let’s look at hygiene… We’ve covered it before but it’s so important to not let your hard summer work go to waste for a couple of months of neglect.

Good hygiene will prevent disease and especially stop diseases coming back year after year. So clear up and destroy infected leaves. It’s important not to compost these as all you’re doing is reusing something you didn’t want in the first place.

Using a Sweeper is a quick and easy way to remove debris from your lawn.

Agri-Fab Push Lawn Sweeper 45-0218A - £179

With the next few months sunlight will be at a premium so don’t allow leaves to shelter your lawn from the precious rays that are available. The reverse is true too as the leaves will prevent moisture leaving the grass increasing the chance of moss, mould and algae forming which you probably won’t notice for quite some time if left covered.

A petrol leaf blower is obviously a very quick way to remove leaves from larger areas very quickly.

Tanaka TRB 24EAP Petrol Blower - £185

Speaking of Algae, it loves a damp environment so keep an eye out for poor drainage or shade from buildings, walls or overhanging trees. Also look out for water logging and try and drain away any resting water as soon as possible.

From algae to fungi as toadstools may start to grow this time of year. Most are OK and can be ignored BUT, if you’re going to have young ones or pets around, take the time to remove them, it could prevent illness.

A few other points worth mentioning…

• Don’t use Summer lawn feed, use Autumn lawn feed which contains more of the needed phosphorous and potassium
• Weeds are no longer growing so hold off on the lawn weed killer
• A further reminder: Drain the fuel from your stowed mower

So back to the grass and that ‘last cut’ of the year.

On the milder days the grass will still grow but due to damp or frozen ground cutting it too short can damage your lawn. The simple answer here is to cut your lawn a bit longer than you would normally.

A bit of a trim will allow room for the reduced growth without potentially tearing up your soil.

So there we have a few tips for lawn care in November, but it’s also time to start thinking about your Spring Shopping List for your Garden.

Top Products for the Summer

Top Products for the Summer

With summer on the horizon we’re recommending out top garden machinery that can help keep your garden in tip-top shape for those summer barbecues.

1)      Lawn Mower:

A good lawn mower is a must. We recommend the Mountfield S421R as a brilliant all-rounder. This hand propelled rear roller rotary mower is ideal to mow any small to medium sized lawn. The rear roller enables you to deliver a superb, striped finish and has a deck wash link for easy cleaning after use. It’s powered by an easy start 100cc Mountfield RSC OJC 4-stroke engine which enables the mower to be effortless to use and cuts right up to the paths and border edges. 5 heights of cut ranging from 20mm to 70mm selected using a lever ensure you can pick the most suitable for the finish required. The 55 litre collector is easy to attach and has an indicator to show when it needs emptying. The S421R has a 41cm or 16inch cutting width ensuring cutting the lawn won’t take all day.

2)      Hedge Trimmers:

If you have any hedges or trees you’re going to need a good set of hedge trimmers to keep your garden looking neat and tidy. We recommend the Tanaka TCH22EAP2 (50) Petrol Double Sided Hedge Cutter which comes with a free mixing bottle and 1litre of 2 stroke oil. This lightweight and versatile model has been equipped with a 22xx Tanaka Pure Fire motor; an advanced two-stroke unit that delivers its ample power (0.87hp) with reduced emissions and lower fuel costs when compared to similar powered engines. It boasts a 50cm double sided, duel reciprocating blades that will enable you to cover a substantial hedge in quick time. A tooth pitch of 30mm means you’ll be able to trim thick, woody growth without fear of the twisting and chewing that can lead to damage of the hedge, whilst a 180° quick-twist rear-handle makes it possible to achieve the optimum angle of attack and also facilitates comfortable left-handed operation.

Key Features include

-          A superior petrol hedge trimmer for domestic and lighter-duty commercial use

-          PureFire engine delivers a cut in emissions without compromising power output

-          S-start technology for smooth, low-effort pull starts

3)      Strimmer’s:

If you have any borders, paths or trees you might need a grass trimmer or strimmer to cut the awkward sections of grass and shrubbery your lawnmower struggles to access. They are also important to creating a neat edge to a lawn. When buying a trimmer, there are a few things to consider; first, the size of your lawn affects what cutting width you require. Secondly, how to power your strimmer; either electric, battery (cordless) or petrol depending on the power you require, the weight you want your strimmer to be and if you mind having a cable or not. Tanakas TCG22EAB 22cc Bent Shaft Petrol Strimmer is perfect to meet all your garden needs. It’s light and easy to use and the 22cc engine ensures you can make easy work of any jobs around the garden. Having a bent shaft means you are closer to the work you are doing and have more control for trimming borders.

Key Features include

-          Low weight and compact design

-          Well-balanced and comfortable to use

-          Reliable, low emission 2-stroek Tanaka engine

-          Comfortable loop handle for firm control

Choose the correct Lawnmower for your Lawn

Choosing the right type of lawnmower for your garden can be a difficult decision, but our guide will help you find the right mower to keep your grass looking great.

The key factors you need to consider are the quality of the cut you wish to achieve, your lawn size and accessibility.

Rotary Lawnmowers

View our range here

Rotary lawnmowers work by spinning a blade to cut the grass. They are generally heavier, but provide more power and are a good choice for larger lawns as well as long and overgrown grass.

If you want to get the job done quickly, with minimal fuss a self propelled 4-wheeled rotary lawn mower will be your best bet. With good manoeuvrability, 4-wheeled mowers produce a neat and tidy finish to your lawn.

They are the most common type of garden mower meaning there is a large variety of models to choose from. Rotary mowers can come with a rear roller, which leaves the stripe effect you may have seen on football pitches.

Electric Lawnmowers

View our range here

Electric lawnmowers are lighter than petrol mowers and cheaper to run. They’re not as powerful, making them suitable for small to medium sized lawns.

Most models plug into your mains, so you will need either an extension lead or an outside power source to power the machine. Some have an inbuilt battery, so no need for cables but you will need to ensure they carry enough charge to finish the job.

Petrol Lawnmowers

View our range here

Petrol lawnmowers provide you with more power and are therefore more suitable for larger gardens or lawns with longer grass. More power is important as it allows for a good cut and general easier grass mowing although it tends to mean petrol mowers are more expensive.
