The compact Castelgarden XF135HD rider is ideal for the smaller garden allowing you to work in tight, restricted areas. Its rear mounted engine allows for greater forward visibility and maneuverability. Powered by a Castelgarden ST350 single cylinder 352cc engine, it comes with hydro-static transmission which allows for easier control in obstructed areas. Equipped with a 72cm cutting deck with a single collecting blade it boasts a highly effective collecting system. Engaging the cutting deck couldn’t be easier as its manual lever is situated beside the steering wheel. The adjustable seat provides the driver with optimum comfort. It also has seven pre-set cutting heights, ranging from 30mm to 80mm, which are selected by using the lever located conveniently at the side of the seat. The rear mounted 170 litre grass catcher can be easily emptied from the drivers seat via the handle bar. A deck wash facility means keeping the deck clean couldn’t be simpler; just attach a hose to the snap-on connector, turn on the water and engage the blades. The Castelgarden XF135HD rider is also an extremely versatile machine. While all models collect the grass clippings as standard, it also offers additional methods of discharging the grass. Optional accessories include a rear deflector attachment or a mulching kit for recycling your grass. Switching between standard collection or mulch modes is a simple process; just remove the collector, insert the mulching plug into the discharge chute and replace the collector. To return to standard collection simply reverse this procedure. Suitable for gardens up to 2,500m2
