THE DM CULTIVATOR WITH BARROW


The Flymo DM is not just a garden cultivator. As an optional extra, you can turn your Flymo into a very special wheelbarrow— and more. A barrow that doesn't need any extra effort to move about the garden. . . or to tip. And one that’s “steady as she goes" — because it's a four-wheel barrow. IN STOCK NOW
