(NAPSI)-The garden of your dreams is more likely to come up roses if you have time-saving tools.
Quite a few gardening and landscaping jobs involve extensive digging, which means investing many man hours of labor.
That's where a compact garden tractor can a be handy thing to own. A garden tractor is a big timesaver, whether you're planting potatoes, creating a patio or digging a pond. Some subcompact tractors-designed to be useful in small spaces-can be surprisingly versatile. With a variety of attachments, these tractors can till, dig postholes, backhoe, mow and even throw snow.
For example, the Legacy XL subcompact garden tractor from Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc., features a powerful 27-hp gas or diesel engine, a heavy-duty frame, four-wheel drive and hydraulic attachment operation.
"We've designed a front-end loader especially for this tractor," says Harold Redman, vice president of product development for Simplicity. "It features a 500-lb. lift capacity and features a walk on/off design. A four-way joystick control lets you easily disconnect the loader from the tractor without leaving the tractor seat."
Other front attachments include a dozer blade that can be easily attached and features hydraulic lifting and angling, as well as single- and two-stage snowthrowers up to 47-inches wide. With its category "1" three-point hitch with an available rear 540-rpm PTO (standard on most four-wheel drive units), the tractor can operate a 50-inch tiller, a posthole digger, such as a backhoe and many other rear implements.
The transmission will operate the mid/front PTO or the rear PTO either together or separately with a simple touch of a lever.
Customers can select a 48-, 54- or 60-inch mower deck. Any size mower can be matched with any engine choice. All mowers are shaft-driven and Free Floating™ with full-width rollers.
