Maintaining a stunning lawn isn’t just about watering and fertilising – the way you cut your grass can make all the difference. That’s where a good lawnmower comes into play.

The Ryobi RM 125 is equipped with a 125 cc four-stroke air-cooled petrol engine rated at 1.9 kW and is built on a rigid steel deck that will last for years. This little mower has a 410 mm cutting width and the adjustable cutting height offers seven settings ranging from 20 mm to 65 mm. The 45-litre grassbox collects clippings, which can then be emptied onto your compost heap.

The mower arrives flat-packed but can be assembled and ready to mow in a matter of minutes. The user-friendly manual provides clear instructions, but all you need to do is attach the handles and clip on the grassbox.

Storage space concerns? The RM 125’s compact dimensions (480 mm wide) and lightweight build (20 kg) make it a breeze to store, especially since you can fold the handlebars forward. Maintenance is straightforward too and regular tasks, like replacing the spark plug and cleaning the air filter, will keep your lawnmower in tip-top shape. 

The Ryobi RM 125 lawnmower really is an excellent choice for maintaining a picturesque lawn on a small property. Builders stock it as well as other mowers from Ryobi and other leading manufacturers, both in-store and online at builders.co.za.
