KEEPING LEAVES AT BAY...


Besides the beautiful picturesque views that autumn brings, there is one hurdle that all gardeners face. As autumn approaches, leaves fall to the ground making lawns, patios and gardens look untidy as well as presenting a potential hazard on paths and walkways. In the past it was common for gardeners to have to tirelessly rake their lawn by hand in order to remove leaves, which was a very time consuming and tiring job. The same job can be done today in a fraction of the time with one of AL-KO's powerful blower / vacuums.

Handheld Blower / Vacuum

For small to medium sized gardens, the AL-KO Hurricane is the perfect companion, either blow or vacuum leaves quickly and easily, clearing the lawn / path and producing a fine leaf mulch for use as compost around the garden. The AL-KO Hurricane is leightweight yet powerful and, with its front mounted roller wheels, it is extremely easy to use, especially in hard to reach corners of the garden.

Wheeled Vacuum

With the 750B and 750H Easy-Vac, the job gets even easier. These powerful petrol wheeled vacuums can cover large areas easily, with a large 200 litre collection bag and a 75cm working width, both models are perfect for large lawns and patios, as well as for clearing driveways and paths. The 750B is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, while the Easy-Vac is fitted with a Honda version.
