Three attachments to make the most of your ride-on this Spring

With that funny yellow ball making its appearance at long last, Spring is finally in the air and a young man’s fancies turn, naturally, to the garden, what else.
So now’s the time to fire up the lawn tractor or ride on if you have one.

These great little machines have a range of attachments which can turn them into year-round workhorses so here are three attachments to make the Spring chores a little easier.
First is the Agri-Fab Broadcast Spreader – 85LB Tow model, the perfect little machine for spreading fertilizers and treatments on to lawns and small meadows.
This neat spreader has a working width of eight to 10 feet and is mounted on a sturdy steel frame and the transmission to the spreader is fully enclosed to prolong the machine’s life.
Wide tyres mean there is less risk of leaving deep indentations on the lawn or grass.
The hopper itself is made from polypropylene so that the products it holds won’t be damaging in the long term.
It costs £89.95 compared with the maker’s recommended retail price of £105 and has a two year warranty from Agri-Fab.
Delivery is free the next working day.
Next is a very simple device which will make lawns look much healthier and save hours of hard work with a tined rake.
The Agri-Fab 40″ Spring Tine Dethatcher has 40 sprung tines to ease out moss and dead grass so that nutrients and moisture can penetrate the roots.
The tines can be raised when driving from place to place and the machine has a ballast tray to take weights when you want to be a bit more severe.
It is this basic simplicity which makes the dethatcher such a popular accessory. It costs £85 compared with the maker’s recommended retail price of £105.
This machine, which is compatible with all makes of lawn tractors, has a two year warranty from the manufacturer and free next working day delivery.
And finally, every lawn needs to be rolled from time to time especially after winter has done its worst and this handy and simple attachment fits the bill.
The Agri-Fab 36″ Tow Behind Lawn Roller has a yard wide polypropylene drum and when filled with water weighs around 300 lb.
When empty it weighs just 47 lb, so is easy to manoeuvre around the garden. And it is simply filled and emptied by a brass plug.
This roller costs £159.95 compared with the maker’s recommended price of £205.
It has a two year manufacturer’s guarantee and free delivery the next working day.
