Lawn Mowers UK

Originally started as a tool & die supplier and distributor to the local manufacturing community of Cleveland, Ohio, the Modern Tool & Die Company (or MTD) was founded in 1932. The MTD family of brands consists of Cub Cadet, White Outdoor, Cub Cadet Yanmar, Cub Cadet Commercial, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, Arnold, GardenWay, Bolens, MTD Pro, Arnold, MTD Gold and Yard-Man. Most residential MTD models make use of either a Briggs & Stratton engine or an engine built and designed by Honda. In the US, Briggs carries with its name an enviable reputation for power and durability. MTD lawn mower models brag about low maintenance cost, ease of use and more importantly, their self-propelled capabilities.

MTD residential lawn mowers also claim that their 12” back wheels help in the mowing of larger sized yards, even with rough surfaces. Whilst the larger back tyres do help substantially in pushing these mowers, the self-propelled models obviously make your job of pushing the mower on bigger yards (usually above ½-acre) a lot easier. Therefore, if your yard is bumpy, rough or hilly type, these wheels will help you considerably.

Prices of course will be the deciding factor of which model you will buy. Since most MTD yard machines come with either a Briggs and Stratton or Honda engine, you will be paying for the quality of the body, something really important, as you can see from some reviews found from many customers online.

Comments and reviews on MTD models revealed that most of the lesser-price units have had problems with their toughness of their transaxle and back-end frame. There have also been some concerns over the safety of the transaxle because of blade disengagement and lack of breaking capability. Other areas of concern include ordinary customer service to its residential care customers in conjunction with Lowe who more often than not carries MTD brands. Another major drawback that a few customers faced include engine malfunction, besides normal wear and tear. While on the commercial point, MTD seems to design and build durable frames (and transaxles). On the residential frame, there seems to be still some work left to be done, though we found the engine well-designed and solid as ever.

Coming to the MTD range of lawn tractors, they are tested and certified before they are available on the market. Because they can carry out multiple functions, it is really important to make sure that they are in top shape before you purchase them. They are designed to tackle years of use at reasonable maintenance costs. We found that MTD are built with the capability of handling up to 250 hours of mowing activities. The MTD models of lawn tractors are well-built and quite reliable to operate beyond the recommended hours. You will also have no trouble taking the MTD lawn tractors for repair. Depending on the MTD lawn tractor model, the reliability of a lawn tractor can be particularly felt by the user. MTD strives to assure customers of reliability of its products and so far they have been successful in keeping up the promise.

MTD lawn tractors have wider mowing decks and could get the job done faster and they also seem to cut the grass as evenly as would be desired. Some of the famous models of MTD lawn tractors include Troy Bilt and Cub Cadet and these names have become as popular to gain their brand identities. There are other LTD lawn tractors which are sold under the brand names Yard Man, Yard Machines, White Outdoor and Bolens brands.

Some of the MTD lawn tractors have got a new look like the ones that are manufactured under the Troy Bilt and Cub Cadets a consumer may not come to realize this, but they are indeed much similar to MTD products, than like the Troy Bilt or Cub Cadets models manufactured when those firms were independent.

The Yard-Man and Yard Machines are quite limited, but offer good value at the economical end of the market. For example, Yard-man comes with the following models:

• 15.5Hp, 42” Yardman tractor
• 12.5 Hp, 38” Yardman tractor
• 50” Zero Turn Yard man riding mowers
• 42” Select Zero Turn Yardman riding mower
• 22Hp, 46 inch Yardman tractor

Therefore, you can find engines that range from 12.5 HP to 22 HP and cutting decks ranging from 38” to 46”, together with a pair of highly functional and effective zero turn lawn mowers. You can find from the prices that Troy Bilt and Cub Cadet ranges are slightly more expensive with the zero turn mowers and riding mowers of varying technical features and specifications, spanning across the whole spectrum of products.

MTD lawn tractors in Europe are still marketed and sold under the tag of MTD, with one smart model which is being sold and distributed in the UK known as the MTD Racing. MTD also markets and sells the Cub Cadet range widely in Europe and MTD owns the brand Lawnflite too. These Lawnflite MTD garden & lawn tractors are highly popular in the British Isles owing to their capability to deal with the prevailing damp conditions out there. You can find that most models are rear discharge models and this means that when they are linked to collection or bagger units, there are lesser chances of the mechanism getting clogged because of the moisture found in the grass rather than with the side discharge lawn & garden tractors.

Not all lawn tractor products can be available in one location, the reason why MTD has divided its business operation to other geographical areas is that consumers from different parts of the world who are keen to buy lawn tractors can easily buy them. This strategy is also to reduce on the amount of time it takes to transport or ship a replacement part for a lawn tractor.

Coming to the parts and servicing, MTD gives you free servicing for your mower, as long as you have filled out the warranty card. Generally speaking, MTD mowers are a great value, offering you excellent quality at an affordable price. Take the time to meticulously research and choose the right model for your requirements and you will enjoy your purchase for sure and create a lovely lawn for several years to come.
