Simplicity Conquest SYT510 Special-Edition Garden Tractor (with Lawn-Striping Rollers)

Long-established US brand, Simplicity, are marking a century in business by issuing this special-edition version of one of their best selling side-discharge garden tractors; the SYT510!

Combining one of the largest cutting-widths (127cm) with one of the most powerful engines found on any domestic yard & garden tractor, the heavy-duty Simplicity SYT510 Special Edition is difficult to beat on every level.

At its heart is a 27hp/724cc Briggs & Stratton 8270 Professional-Series OHV motor; a twin-cylinder horizontal power unit that’s commonly used for utility vehicles, heavy-duty grounds-keeping machines and commercial horticultural tractors.

The V-Twin cylinder angling ensures the optimum mixture is maintained for increased power across the rev band, fewer harmful exhaust emissions and an ultra-smooth idle. Full-pressure lubrication and an industrial-grade air filter work to maximise engine life.

The Simplicity Conquest SYT510 Special-Edition Garden Tractor employs Simplicity’s exclusive Automatic Controlled Traction™ system, whereby the transmission senses when an individual wheel needs more power, and applies it accordingly. This eliminates wheel spin on slopes and wet ground, in turn eliminating unsightly scuffing.

The side-discharge cutter deck on this model makes it perfect for informal long-grass areas, but, should you wish to create a neat and tidy finish on a formal lawn, you can fit the included mulch plug.

The deck is Free Floating™, so the blades will track even the subtlest contours of the ground; and it can be height-adjusted in infinite increments for an exceptionally precise cut (adjustment is electronic).

Other deck features include Quick Hitch™, which makes it possible to remove the deck in a matter of minutes for maintenance or towing applications; and full-width, multi-section rear-mounted rollers for those much coveted ‘Wembley’-style lawn stripes.

A treat to drive, the Simplicity SYT510 Special Edition benefits from the incorporation of a foot-pedal hydrostatic drive which gives you smooth, intuitive control of the tractor’s speed in both forward and reverse gears. If you’re undertaking unbroken straight-line runs, you can engage the cruise control for reduced user fatigue and a more consistent finish (a high-back netted seat and soft-grip steering wheel contribute further to driver comfort).

Effortlessly manoeuvrable, the Simplicity Conquest SYT510 Special Edition boasts electronic power steering, and has an impressively tight turning circle for such a substantial machine. Further enhancing driving-pleasure is Simplicity's SCS-4 Suspension Comfort System, which works to smooth the lumps and bumps.

An hour meter ensures you’ll get your tractor serviced in good time; an electronic PTO clutch means you can engage the blades with the simple push of a button.
