Overview
The AL-KO Silver 468 P-A Bio is a 46cm cut hand propelled mulching mower which will also side discharge grass cuttings.The ALKO 468 PA Bio cuts and mulches grass clippings into fine particles which are blown down onto the lawn increasing moisture and nutrients to the grass roots. The side discharge option is great for cutting grass in areas where the growth is longer and the clippings can be left to wilt back naturally. The AL-KO 468 PA has a quality 123cc AL-KO QSS engine, which utilises QSS Quick Start System and OHV Overhead Valve Technology for performance and reliability.Features Large Diameter Wheels : The 468 P-A features large 205mm diameter wheels for improved traction and manoeuvrability. Ball bearings ensure smooth running for years of use. 2 in 1 Function : Where necessary the deck can be converted over to side discharge, allowing the mower to cut longer grass for example in meadows and orchards.
