A heavy duty garden tractor in the solo by AL-KO Premium rear collect lawn tractor series is the T 20-105.6 HDE V2 which is powered by a two cylinder Briggs & Stratton Intek Series 7200 engine, is equipped with a 105cm (41.3") twin-bladed cutter deck with 3-in-1 function and is ideal for larger lawns around 6,000 square metres in size. A fully welded 3mm thick steel frame cast iron front axle guarantees a robust and durable tractor that can handle any mowing task.
The premium model with electric grass catcher emptying is designed for everyone who loves convenience. This tractor with a complete set of equipment doesn't just look like a race car thanks to its 23"- wide tyres and low vehicle centre of gravity, it also easily handles the jolts while driving on uneven ground. The additional advantage of larger tyres provides excellent traction and fewer tracks on wet ground.
After a development period of several years, the AL-KO Solo lawn tractors feature the latest technology, high ergonomics and quality German engineering, all wrapped up in a racy red and black livery. The flat-bottomed steering wheel, bucket-style driver's seat and external fuel tank flap evoke thoughts of premium automotive brands, whilst providing high user comfort and unrivalled ease of operation. Simply turn the key and the fully electronic heads-up display shows key operating elements in an intuitive, easy to read panel.
Effortless control is ensured thanks to the side-by-side hydrostatic pedals for forward and reverse which make precise speed and direction control a breeze.
AL-KO's 3-in-1 function gives the user the option of either rear discharging, collecting or mulching the grass clippings (with the tool-less mulching kit included). The capacious 310 litre grass catcher can be electrically emptied at the press of a button from the driver's seat. The cutting height can be centrally adjusted through seven stages between 20mm and 80mm to suit conditions and the desired lawn finish.
The AL-KO Solo T 20-105.6 HDE V2 lawn tractor is packed with an array of superior and intuitive features which turn a functional garden tool into an emotive driving experience. Low foot rests with premium non-slip foot plates and plenty of legroom ensure easy mounting and dismounting and a low centre of gravity with no danger of tipping. In addition, all controls can easily be reached from the operator's seat, meaning there is nothing to prevent you from enjoying stress-free mowing. Wide tyres protect the lawn and ensure optimum traction and driving comfort.
Other key features include cruise control, optimum seat position, conveniently positioned parking brake, easy access to the battery for charging, integrated toolbar, maintenance free rods for throttle and brake, and a tool-less bonnet for easy maintenance. Safety comes as standard on this model with distance sensors on each side which detect contact with people or objects in the mowing path and bring the cutter blades to a safe stop - unless the simple override switch is triggered by the operator for close mowing around stationery obstacles. Powerful headlights will even allow you to mow longer into dark evenings and in poor visibility.
The integral tow hitch extends the use of the AL-KO Solo T 20-105.6 HDE V2 lawn tractor through all seasons with the addition of a range of trailed accessories.

“I purchased this as a replacement for a old and decrepit ride-on which literally ended with a catastrophic fail, game over. Hooray, so time to shop for new machine. Of course I was looking for something more modern, of better quality and which would effortlessly be able to handle the job of looking after around 2.5 acres split between orchard, lawns and paddock. After sifting through reviews and even watching video's I was really thinking that this was going to have to be an Al-Ko machine. As this review states, I plumbed for the AL-KO Solo T 20-105.5 HDE V2. I can say that this machine is built like a tank but is able to perform like a little sports car with instant responsive steering and power, it has great finesse and agility when mowing a complex and large lawn with multiple planted areas, boarders, trees and so forth. It can turn like a London taxi when mowing around fairly tight or small features. One thing I would say is that it is important to keep an eye on the rear collecting box 'manual' discharge lever when mowing around multiple trees as in an orchard especially for any lowish hanging limbs as the aforementioned handle is apt to snag these and will literally rip even a good sized limb from a tree in an eye blink. The electronic discharge button is pretty cool,- once backed into your spot to empty, just press the switch but be sure to give the process a little room so the electronic ram is not pushing the grass box into anything as it rises such as an existing grass heap. Petrol consumption seems reasonable but when tackling overdue, long grass such in the meadow, (although still effortless) this kind of grunt will see your fuel disappear pretty quick. The mulching attachment is excellent, quick to fit (although a little fiddly) saving so much time when mowing making the cuttings almost into a dust it's an absolute blessing with no need to constantly collect and discharge grass. However, this means regular mowing of course. My only gripe with this machine would be in respect of the seriously pared down dashboard, basically there isn't one. Al-Ko have removed anything and everything which would possibly cause unreliability in the long-term including function indicator lights, even an Hour Meter is absent (something I shall fit as an accessory shortly). Otherwise this machine it is a pleasure to use, I would say even great fun to use as it performs effortlessly whatever the job and is so comfortable to operate. 4.9 stars,”

“Absolutely superb - had a much smaller machine before that just took too long. This is like night and day, great build quality, quick and just glides through the grass. Well worth the upgrade”
