With the new smart cockpit, the solo® by AL-KO lawn tractor not only revolutionises lawn mowing, but also makes it much more efficient and makes work easier. How does it work? By turning your smartphone into a cockpit and inserting it into the stable holder suitable for smartphones from 4"-7". Simply establish the Bluetooth connection with the tractor and the smart cockpit can be started. All important data such as speed, fuel gauge, mowing efficiency, remaining and previously mowed time, total operating hours, battery charge status, inclination display, etc. can be read directly on the cockpit. So that the smartphone is always available for use, the solo® by AL-KO T 22-105 HD V2 SD incorpates a USB charging connector with integrated dust and rain protection.

This T 22-105 HD V2 SD Premium lawn tractor in solo by AL-KO's rear collect range is powered by a two cylinder 22hp Briggs & Stratton Intek 7220 V2 engine and is equipped with a wide synchronised 105cm twin-bladed cutting deck with MaxAirflow technology and 3-in-1 function. Ideal for large lawns around 8,000 square metres in size, the machine boasts a fully welded 3mm thick steel frame cast iron front axle which guarantees a robust and durable tractor that can handle any mowing task.

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. Mowing large lawns is also a pleasure thanks to the 23" rear wheels and the G700 premium gearbox, which enable speeds of up to 11km/h. The built-in cruise control is also a gain in comfort and efficiency. The machine is easy to refuel thanks to the tank nozzle on the outside.

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 conveniently emptied using the telescopic lever from the driver's seat. An optional expansion pack is available which allows electrical emptying of the grass box at the press of a button (see accessories below). The cutting height can be centrally adjusted through seven stages between 30mm and 90mm to suit conditions and the desired lawn finish, and features AL-KO's cutting height memory function.

The solo by AL-KO T 22-105 HD V2 SD 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 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.

This model is ideal for fast and easy handling of large areas with its wide, synchronised, 105cm mowing deck and strong 11.7kW, twin-cylinder engine. The robust and torsion-resistant C profile frame, as well as a stable cast front axle and sturdy front bumper, also ensure long service and the best possible cushioning of impacts and jolts.

The integral tow hitch extends the use of the T 22-105 HD V2 SD lawn tractor through all seasons with the addition of a range of trailed accessories.
