AL-KO LAUNCHES NEW INNOVATIONS FOR 2026
New Solo by AL-KO Zero Turn & Battery Rider Arrive

 

AL-KO Gardentech is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovations, the all new ZT 18-107-6 A zero turn mower and the R 74.5 Li battery rider to further compliment the range.


Stewart Anderson, Managing Director of AL-KO Gardentech UK commented -

 

The new zero turn and battery rider are something we have been missing over recent years. As part of our continued growth strategy, we can now offer a quality ride-on product at every pricepoint and category. Following our launch at Groundsfest both products received exceptional feedback and form part of our strongest ride-on lineup to date.”

 

 

The ZT 18-107.6 A features a powerful AL-KO PRO 600 V-Twin engine and 107cm heavy duty fabricated steel deck with high performance mulching and side discharge functions. Operator comfort is enhanced by a premium high back cushioned seat, arm rests and fully adjustable drive levers. As with all new AL-KO tractors the zero turn features LED lights and an integrated tow bar.


The second addition to the ride-on family is the R 74.5 Li battery rider, powered by the AL-KO 36V platform the rider can mow for up to 60 minutes on a charge (6 x 8Ah batteries) and navigate tight turns thanks to the geared steering with tight turning circle. The 74cm cutter deck features twin blades for high performance collection and a 130L collector. For maintenance and storage the rider can be placed in an upright position, and as part of the 36V platform the batteries can be used in any of the 36V range of tools. The rider kit includes 4 x 8.0Ah batteries and charger. 


As with all AL-KO tractors, the zero turn and rider feature a comprehensive 5 year warranty (subject to annual service) and full spare parts support with the majority of parts available for next day delivery.
