Available now from VIKING Approved Dealers, the new VIKING MB 253 T rotary epitomises the VIKING lawn mower brand: unique design, robust build and great performance. Adding easy economy to core values within, VIKING 2 Series mowers are among the most popular models available in the VIKING range. The new MB 253 T adds a wider cut 51cm width to the 2 Series choice, giving Dealers a literally broader offering for customers who demand straightforward practicality at an economic price.

At £389.00 RRP for the new 51cm model, keen price is just one of the great benefits of the new VIKING MB 253 T. Achieving that price however, does not mean corners have been cut. Indeed as with the two other 2 Series models, the new 51cm mower is certainly tough, hard-wearing and built to last. Beneath its sturdy sheet steel housing the new model's robust Kohler XT-6.75 OHV engine delivers long service life; it is a smooth-running performer with an automatic Smart Choke function ensuring it is simple and easy to start-up, and work with from the off.

Hard-working as well as hard-wearing, the VIKING MB 253 T is impressive in use; its quality high-lift blade gives a clean and sure cut, in varying conditions and on differing types of lawn. Cut height is centrally set via a simple click-and-slot handle, and adjusts through 7-settings between 25 and 75mm cut height. The 51cm (20") cutting width is ideal for up to 1800 square metre lawns and the single-speed rear-wheel drive sets a swift and easy pace. The mower's ergonomics and well-balanced design make it easy to manoeuvre and comfortable to drive.

Straightforward practicality is another benefit of the VIKING 2 Series range; the robust plastic catcher box for example, gathers a high volume of grass cuttings with its 55 litre capacity efficiently filled. The box is easily removed for emptying or storage, and when the mower is not in use its handlebars fold neatly over the top of the machine.

The VIKING MB 253 T mower is available now and priced at a competitive £389.00 inc VAT (RRP). Full details and specifications are on the VIKING website
