A TRACTOR FOR ALL SEASONS
Perhaps you have a beautiful front lawn to maintain. You want a perfect striped finish but without leaving clippings behind. You want a mower that will cut and collect thick, lush grass even if it’s wet.
What are the benefits that you look for in a new ride-on lawnmower? Maybe you look for versatility. You have a lawn to mow but also a tall grass paddock and orchard to keep maintained. Built in Britain
Perhaps accessibility is an issue. Some gardens have narrow gateways and paths to negotiate, steep slopes to mow or muddy areas to drive through. Most customers look for value for money. They want a long warranty, a strong durable product and the ability to drive attachments that extend the use of their ride-on lawnmower. There is only one manufacturer whose products deliver all of the above‌

Designed and manufactured in the UK, Westwood tractors excel in cutting and collecting grass. Each model has been built with the unique demands of the British garden in mind. Ball bearings in the stub axle and wheels provide positive and light steering, essential for negotiating around trees and along borders. The unique grass collector is, in our opinion, the only collection system to effectively collect thick, lush or wet grass clippings. An integrated roller leaves a classically British, striped lawn finish. Computer monitored, fuel efficient engines balance cutting performance with economy. A noise reducing double-skinned bonnet makes the Westwood a quieter alternative to many other lawnmowers.

Cutting and collection
Cut and collect fully and leave a striped law In our opinion, nothing comes close to the finish achieved by a Westwood tractor – it’s what our reputation is built on. What makes a Westwood a better option? Consider the unique way that our tractors cut and collect grass. Unlike most collection methods, a Westwood uses a powered rotating brush mounted inside the collector to sweep up grass clippings. Because clippings are brushed from the lawn, a Westwood won’t clog – not even when cutting wet grass. This collection system makes Westwood the choice for thousands of British homeowners. Owning a Westwood means you can mow your lawn whenever you want – not just when it’s dry.
The optional Powered Grass Collector attaches to the rear of the tractor and sits on an integrated lawn roller. When set in the lowered position, the collector will stripe your lawn. There’s no need for another pass with a roller or striping kit
The Westwood Combi deck can be configured as either a rear discharge or mulching deck. The Vector Flow is a dedicated rear discharge deck.
5
wn finish... even in the wet Cutting height can be adjusted from 12mm to 101mm (depending on cutter deck fitted)
The height of the brushes on the collector can be adjusted for the best possible collection A Westwood Powered Grass Collector is highly effective at collecting leaves and other organic debris from your lawn

The rear roller on the Powered Grass Collector produces a striped lawn finish
The Powered Grass Collector articulates independently to the tractor. This maintains constant contact with the ground
The collector’s brushes rotate at over 2000 strokes per minute sweeping cut grass, leaves and garden debris into the bag
6
Mulching Mulching – A faster way to mow your lawn Mulching is a popular choice for people who want a fine finish on their lawn without having to collect grass clippings. All Westwood Combi decks have mulching capability. The specially designed deck lining and blades keep grass clippings trapped within the cutting chambers. Grass clippings are kept trapped within the cutting chamber. Here they are cut multiple times, reducing their volume to a fine mulch
The grass is cut time and time again, becoming ever finer and reducing it to a mulch. In fact, the clippings are so small, they are barely visible on the lawn surface. After a few days they decompose, releasing nutrients and moisture back to the grass plant.

High Grass Mulching Applying the same principles as the Combi deck, the High Grass Mulching (HGM) deck is built to be strong and tough – capable of tackling the very toughest cutting conditions. It will happily tame a paddock, scrubland or high grass area with absolute ease; completing the job of a brushcutter in a fraction of the time and with a lot less effort. Dense weeds, nettles, brambles and thistles are forced into the path of the HGM deck. Heavy chains at the front and rear of the deck ensure that cut material does not leave the cutting chamber until fully mulched.
The fabricated deck has six hardened steel blades that can cut through all but the toughest material
Thick heavy chains fitted to the front and rear of the deck ensure that no material can escape the blades

Special features Powered Grass Collector (PGC)
The Engine Westwood tractors are only fitted with premium-grade engines. All have a solid reputation for reliability and performance and offer a comprehensive warranty programme.
Westwood pioneered the powered grass collection system. The tractor’s Power Take-Off drives rotating brushes at over 2,000 strokes per minute, to sweep the cut grass, leaves and debris into the collector; while the integral roller gives a classic striped effect. Additionally, the grass benefits from dispersal of worm casts and the accumulation of thatch is inhibited. It is acknowledged to be the best grass collection system available and proves unbeatable under any conditions.
Deck Lift Utilising a clever gearing system, the manual deck height adjustment lever is light, smooth and easy to use. Thanks to this design, adjusting cutting height is almost effortless.
Power Take Off (PTO) Seat Adjuster Easily adjust seat position using the fingertip control lever. An angled adjuster plate moves the operator down and closer to the pedals or up and further away.
Power to drive the grass collector and accessories is taken directly from the engine. An independent clutch allows you to use the PTO to power accessories with the cutting blades disengaged. You can sweep up leaves and debris on paths or drives and run accessories to scarify and spread salt or fertiliser.
9
Foot Controlled Transmission All Westwood tractors feature foot controlled hydrostatic drive. Hydrostatic drive delivers infinitely variable speed selection via foot pedal controls.
Dashboard Special attention has been given to the design of the Westwood dashboard to ensure the operator has maximum visibility of the controls and indicators at all times. Regularly used controls have been grouped, making operating a Westwood intuitive and user-friendly.
Safety
Cutting Decks The Vector Flow cutter deck has three, razor sharp integrated blades. These finely cut the grass and direct it to the discharge chute at the rear of the deck ready for collection by the optional Powered Grass Collector. A Westwood Combi deck is a versatile cutter that lets you cut and collect, mulch or rough-cut. A High Grass Mulching deck, designed to tackle tall grass, nettles and bramble, is available for most models – see page 23.
The ergonomically designed driver’s seat is fitted with a sensor that cuts out the engine when the operator leaves the seat. The tractor cannot be started unless the park brake is engaged. An electromagnetic clutch that controls the drive to the cutter blades is operated at the touch of a button. In the ‘off’ position, a safety brake stops the blades within three seconds.
10
S Series Garden Tractors S Series features A stalwart of the Westwood range, the S Series is a firm favourite with many British gardeners, famed for its versatility and rugged construction. Fitted with a powerful single cylinder engine, an S Series is ideal for gardens of around one acre, producing a firstclass finish on a formal lawn. The S150H Mini is the ideal choice for those with limited access to their garden, narrow gateways or winding paths to negotiate. It has more than enough power to drive both its 76cm (30") cutter deck and an optional 255 litre Powered Grass Collector. Premium-grade single cylinder engines Smooth foot controlled hydrostatic transmission Power take-off to drive powered accessories Electric cutter engagement and electromagnetic blade clutch Easy cutter height adjustment Ergonomically designed seat
Like the tractor, the ‘mini’ grass collector has been engineered to be slimline, allowing easy passage through ‘standard’ sized gateways and along paths. Now there is a Westwood tractor for most larger gardens. The Westwood S1500H has been designed to be both intuitive and easy to operate. With hydrostatic foot controlled transmission, push button cutter engagement and ultra-light steering, operating a Westwood is easy. The S1500H features a premium-grade, single cylinder engine. A 92cm (36") Vector Flow rear discharge deck provides superb cutting performance.

The Westwood T Series offers the same functionality as the S Series but with the added refinement of a twincylinder Kawasaki engine. This extra power means that there is a wider choice of cutting options and deck sizes available; and a larger cutter deck means that you can mow a bigger area of lawn, faster. Both the T1600H and T1800H tractors are available with a Combi deck. This deck can be configured for cutting with collection or as a mulcher simply with the application of a conversion plug. The T1600H can also be fitted with a 107cm (42") rear discharge deck. The T Series has a power take-off to drive accessories such as the powered scarifier or broadcast spreader.

T Series 4WD Garden Tra T Series 4WD features For the ultimate in ‘all terrain’ mowing, the T1600-4WD and T25-4WD apply 4TRAC four wheel drive technology to a rugged and durable tractor design. The result? A garden tractor that can tackle steep inclines, traverse grassy banks and drive through the most challenging mud or over wet ground.
Kawasaki twin cylinder engines
heavy duty four-wheel drive transmission
On a lawn, the 4WD Westwood excels. Due to an advanced Dynamic Traction Control system, the tractor senses ground conditions and compensates drive accordingly. As you turn, the outside front wheel is driven faster than the inner – this prevents any scuffing of the grass – perfect for mowing a manicured lawn or to gain traction on a muddy pathway. Both 4WD tractors are fitted with an Electronic Slope Alert. This safety feature warns the operator when the tractor reaches a slope or incline too steep to be safe.

V Series Garden Tractors V Series features Kawasaki petrol or Yanmar three cylinder diesel engine Smooth foot controlled hydrostatic transmission Power take-off to drive powered accessories Electric cutter engagement and electromagnetic blade clutch Easy cutter height adjustment Operating Performance Indicator (OPI) Ergonomically designed seat Push button start and intuitive dashboard controls Lightweight ball bearing steering Electric lift for the collector Electric emptying of the collector Suitable for gardens of up to five acres Differential lock Optional 390 litre grass collector Large 58.4cm rear wheels
With either a high-powered petrol or high-torque diesel engine, the larger V Series is the flagship of the Westwood range. Fitted with a wide area 127cm (50") Combi deck as standard, a lawn can be cut quickly and with fewer passes. The V Series makes short work of any garden up to five acres and provides professional cutting capability, high-end features and durability. Although heavier, the V Series won’t mark your lawn. Extra-large rear wheels evenly distribute weight and provide extra grip. When the going gets really tough, engaging the differential lock will drive the rear wheels at the same speed – preventing wheel spin and providing extra traction. The optional 390 litre Powered Grass Collector means fewer trips to the compost heap, but when you do need to empty cuttings, push button electric emptying makes the task truly effortless. The V25-50HE is fitted with a smooth-running Kawasaki 726cc petrol engine. The abundance of power is monitored by the OPI system which allows you to match engine revs to cutting conditions – a fantastic feature that saves fuel. For the ultimate in economy, the V230D tractor features an industry favourite three-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. The PTO and cutter deck is driven by a newly developed hybrid drive. This means that more of the engine’s torque is available to the operator.

Thick heavy chains fitted to the front and rear of the deck ensure that no material can escape the blades
The HGM deck features a heavy-duty fabricated steel housing that is shaped to flatten tall grass and force it into the cutting chamber. Six hardened steel blades reduce the material to a light mulch. The High Grass Mulching tractor is also highly effective at mowing a formal lawn and, fitted with a Powered Grass Collector, will even leave a striped finish.

Powered Accessories
Towball An automotive type ball hitch can be fitted to the tow bar. Tow trailers and other attachments with your Westwood garden tractor.
A range of powered accessories extend the use of your Westwood tractor. By utilising the tractor’s engine through a power take-off, you can drive a Powered Grass Collector, broadcast spreader or scarifier. Sweep leaves from your lawn, remove moss or spread salt on your driveway. A Westwood can be used all-year-round. The optional snowblade fitted to the front of your tractor easily clears paths and drives of snow and ice.
Tractor cover A purpose designed cover for protecting your tractor when not in use.
Powered Grass Collector Snowblade Fitted with a front-mounted snowblade and highgrip chevron tyres, a Westwood tractor becomes a formidable force in quickly clearing snow from paths and driveways.
Chevron tyres Provide extra grip on slippery ground and muddy conditions.
Throughout the year, your Westwood helps to keep the garden tidy. The optional Powered Grass Collector is as much at home in the autumn as it is collecting in spring and summer. It offers you the fastest and most efficient way to collect fallen leaves in the autumn tidy up.
21
Powered Scarifier Lawns accumulate thatch – the mass of debris at the roots that strangles healthy grass growth. Scarify your lawn regularly to remove thatch and moss and you will be repaid with thicker, healthier turf. The scarifier is simply mounted on the tractor, reducing what would be days of hard work with a rake to a leisurely ride around the lawn.
Powered Broadcast Spreader You can harness the tractor’s power to run the broadcast spreader. It holds up to 50kg of salt, weedkiller or lawn additive for use on drives, paths and lawns.
