Mulch mowing is increasingly popular in Great Britain. Returning finely shredded grass trimmings to decompose in the lawn saves bulky clippings disposal and encourages a naturally healthy lawn. It's a technique that is familiar to many professional and contract gardeners who want a fast and neat finish with minimal fuss. Now servicing dealers who serve those professionals and home gardeners can offer two new premium mulch mowers from the respected VIKING lawn care brand.

Tough, reliable and easy to use, the new MB 4 RT and MB 4 RTP mulch mowers are designed for straightforward practicality and hard-working use. Their efficient mowing performance gives a neat and clean cut, with finely mulched grass clippings deposited deep in the lawn - the result of a special mulching blade, which has stepped cutting edges and chops each blade of grass multiple times before returning it to the lawn.

Whilst the two new models each have distinct benefits they both offer enduring quality and simplicity in use. Take their robust aluminium housing for example, for long service life, and the special SmartChoke feature that gets them off to an easy start. Both models also feature a soft-grip handlebar which folds neatly over the machine, and showing their literally 'green' credentials both have been awarded the Nordic 'Svanen' ecolabel which recognises their environmentally friendly manufacture and operation - with low emission levels and fuel economy in use.
