If you think the grass cutting is impressive, then try take it to the woods. I have some very elevation rich forest here, and I have used this lawnmower to haul 40 cubic meters of pine wood in a alko trailer rated at 400kg - the combo is easily dragging 600-800kg on the trails. I did mount a electrical winch in the front to both pull logs - and to save me when the displacement just isnt enough to pull the entire rig out of the mud. I am absolutely mindblown at what this tractor have done - beyond cutting the 1 acre of lawn and few km of forest trails. If you have any need for a lawnmower and very capable micro tractor - go get it! Its a beast of a little machine.
Bought one last summer (2022) and its fantastic for my use. Unplugged the limit switch on the left side of the transmission so it doesnt shut off the cutting deck while reversing. That alone saved me 20-30min cutting my lawn.
Unfortunately not. There is a reverse switch next to the key, but you need to press it every time the transmission is returned to neutral. So if you reverse a little bit and stop or drive forward the button needs to be pressed again before you can reverse again. That quickly adds up to many, many hundreds of times every time. I guess its due to some safety EN standard. Two spade connectors with a short wire is all it takes to bypass it.
I habe one. When it runs, it works great, but our t22 makes lots of Problems. The Engine starts often not and when it is started the droving doesn‘t work.
Hi James, I found your channel from Steve's Small Engine Saloon. That is a nice ride on. I have a Solo chainsaw and I love it. Now I'm confused. Is AL-KO the manufacturer for my chainsaw?Great machines.
Yeah they could, it’s aimed at domestic users at a reasonable price and a diff lock axle would put the price up a fair bit and then it would be closer to the price of an actual rough cut mower.
Thanks was going to go for the AL-KO Premium T22-105.1 HD-A V2 which is effectively the same machine but with two blades the T22-110 has 3 blades slightly wider cutting deck but is £1000 more in price. I need to cut some high grass. Can I get away with the T22-105.1 as has the same power in the engine and a decent sized cutting deck? Any advice on this would be great thanks
You need a ride on brush mower ideally. We have done a video on a Stella Racoon and also a comparison between an AS Motor and a Canycom here on our channel. Hope this helps.
I’ve used the T-16 105 in the past to cut high grass which has a regular deck and rear discharge or for collecting. It can cut really high paddock grass with ease providing you go very slowly and if it is the slightest wet it will get clogged up and stop coming out of the shoot. So you may have to empty the shoot occasionally during heavy and wet cutting. But it is possible to use the non-high grass regular ride on alkos for both lawns and high grass but just be careful. I suppose this high grass version of the alko has the chains and other equipment on the deck and cutters to enable it to churn through the tough stuff?

@@ReolinkKu My respectable local garden machinery shop sold me the T-16 105 after seeing my property and he even allowed me to test it. For me it cuts high grass easily. You just have to go very slowly (as with any ride-on mower) if you want the belts to last. I’ve used it over very weedy terrain and while it doesn’t always cut the thicker stalks completely it’s still pretty good. Just be careful and you should be fine. The only thing is that if it is damp the high grass can get clogged up fairly quickly if it hasn’t been cut in a year. But this is an easy fix. As soon as you notice the grass is not being shot out of the back just remove the shoot and pull the grass out with your hand or use a stick perhaps. I would advice you test the lawnmower first on your land but if that’s not possible you should be alright with the T16 as long as you are not using to cut high grass all the time
Am impressed with that James, cutting that much grass in wet conditions very good indeed. do the rear tyres come as standard. would you be able to do a test /demonstration with #ventrac compact tractor .
Haha, yeah I see your point. I am a farmers son, if it was a full field I would of cut 6 rows around the outside, then found the longest point from end to end and the worked out from there while using my headland for turning 😂👍🏼
The biggest downside to these types of machines is the temptation to go too fast! I used to use Countax and Kubota, and even though one of the Countax was 4 wheel drive, I would choose the Kubota every time. Just a better machine in every way!
