Stylish red garden tractor
to make your neighbour green with envy
Jonsered launches a new series of garden tractor for the homeowner with a more modest sized garden. The new tractor is what car dealers call an entry level model. Homeowners are expected to say goodbye to their traditional push mowers in favour of a value-for-money tractor that also looks stylish when you just happen to ”forget” you left it on the garage driveway.
The new tractor series from Jonsered consists of four models that offer good value, a compact design and are a joy to drive. A concept that is expected to convince many homeowners to abandon their push mowers and switch to the ride-on method. Jonsered is investing heavily in design and there is no doubt that the red tractor is a powerful status symbol on the garage driveway.
“Our customers are conscious consumers who value a stylish design,” explains Östen Piel, Product Manager at Jonsered. “It is no secret that the panache design and the red colour appeals to many young, and perhaps first-time homeowners.”
Available with or without collector
The four models differ primarily in that the LT 2213 and LT 2213 A have side ejectors while the LT 2213 C and LT 2213 CA have collectors for the cut grass.
A side ejector means your mowing work is finished in double-quick time. The cut grass is thrown out through the side of the cutting deck and ends up on the lawn.Using a mulcher hood, available as accessory, the cut grass is finely chopped and returned to the lawn as fertiliser.
The collectors on the C and CA models are easily emptied from the driver's seat. A sound signal indicates when the container is full. These models can also “mulch” the grass cuttings using a mulcher plug available as accessory. The plug prevents the cuttings from ending up in the collector, as they are finely chopped instead and spread out on the lawn as fertiliser.
The A and CA models are fitted with a hydrostatic connector that – put simply – is comparable to an automatic transmission in a car.Speed and forward/reverse movements are controlled by pedals, which makes the mowing really easy and comfortable. Starting in particular is perceived as easy with the hydrostat. The A and CA models also have an hour counter that lets you know when it is time for a service.
The compact design is common to all models. A cutting width of 77 cm means that the slimline tractor is easy to drive into the garage. The ergonomics are well catered for. A wide and flat entrance helps when you need to get on and off the tractor. The adjustable seat ensures you can find a comfortable driving position whether you are short or tall. You can easily adjust the cutting height from the driver's seat using a spring-loaded lever. And the mug holder is standard.
Practical accessories
There are several practical implements to attach to the back of the tractor, including various sized trailers, moss scarifiers, dethatchers and spreaders.
“We are convinced that the new series of tractor will appeal to those who today use a push mower, but think the step up to a garden tractor for large gardens is too great,” says Östen Piel. “Here we have a tractor that is ideal both for the young family in their first house and for the elder generation who have grown tired of mowing the lawn on foot.”
