Atco GT 30H 84cm ride-on mower

The GT 30H is an extremely popular lawn tractor which is small enough to go through a 36″ gate yet large enough to maintain a good sized lawn.

A reliable 344cc Briggs & Stratton PowerBuilt 3130 AVS engine delivers power to a fully hydrostatic transmission.  Hydrostatic transmissions are clutch-less automatic systems that allow infinitely variable speed adjustment; they shuttle seamlessly from forward to reverse, which greatly enhances manoeuvrability.

The cutting deck features twin contra rotating blades for a fine finish, plus powerful rear discharge and collection of clippings.  Blades are engaged or disengaged at the flick of a switch through an electronic clutch.  The cutting height is adjustable through 7 preset adjustments from 25mm to 80mm.  A snap on hose connection on the cutter deck facilitates cleaning after use.  Clippings are collected in a rear mounted 240 litre capacity collector which features a buzzer to let the driver know when it needs emptying.  Tipping the collector is done from the driver’s seat. 

This Atco tractor is a real pleasure to use.  To talk about how it handles seems more automotive, however the light steering, seating, ergonomics and ride quality are outstanding.
