AL-KO Premium 520 VS-B (119949)

Self-propelled mower with a "proprietary" engine

The AL-KO Premium 520 VS-B lawn mower is designed for lawn care up to 18 acres. It has a four-stroke 163 cc petrol engine with 3.5 hp. from the American company Briggs & Stratton, which is one of the most reputable companies in the production of small motors for construction and garden equipment. This engine is reliable and moderate appetite, it is durable and easy to maintain. Therefore, the operation of the lawn mower will most likely be trouble-free, and the machine will last a long time without repair.

Tons of benefits

Thanks to the presence of a drive to the rear axle, working with a 34.9-kilogram machine is not at all difficult, because it moves independently on the lawn. The driving speed can be adjusted from 2.5 km/h to 4.5 km/h to match the mower to your stride. The cutting height setting changes synchronously on all wheels. You can set one of seven height positions: from 30 mm to 80 mm. Grass is collected in a 70 liter hard plastic container with a full indicator. The lawn mower has two grass ejection modes: backward and sideways. It is also possible to install a mulching kit instead of the grass catcher. In the mulching mode, the cut vegetation is not collected, but finely chopped and scattered over the lawn to protect the soil from drying out and supply it with nutrients.

"Premium" lawn mower for large lawns

The $700 lawnmower is by no means cheap (and the electric starter version is even more expensive). But it should be noted that the equipment from the AL-KO Premium series are mowers that, in terms of quality and characteristics, almost do not differ from professional models of lawn care equipment. They are not even assembled in Asia, like almost all the instruments presented on our market, but in Europe.

When buying a petrol mower for a large lawn, it also makes sense to ask the price of the AL-KO Solo 518 aerator, with which you can make the grass thicker and healthier.
