AL-KO SOLO T14-86.6 HD-A Rear Collect Tractor

The solo® by AL-KO Easy T 14-86.6 HD-A petrol rear collect lawn tractor is built for homeowners who want smooth, controlled mowing without stepping into full-size premium territory. With its hydrostatic transmission and strong AL-KO Pro 450 engine, it delivers steady power and easy speed control across larger lawns.

An 86 cm cutting width, large 250-litre collector, and compact layout make it well suited to gardens that aren’t perfectly open. Practical features like LED headlights, an electromagnetic blade clutch, and included mulching kit add everyday usability without overcomplicating the machine.

What the Easy T 14-86.6 HD-A Is Designed For

This tractor is aimed at domestic users who want petrol power and proper collection, but with smoother control than a manual gearbox can offer. It’s built for larger lawns that include trees, borders, and changes of direction, where constant stopping to change gear quickly becomes tiring.

The hydrostatic drive is the key difference here. It makes the tractor easier to live with day to day, especially if your garden isn’t a simple rectangle.

Why Hydrostatic Makes a Real Difference

The foot-operated Hydro-Gear transmission allows you to adjust speed on the move without clutching or gear changes. That means:

• Smoother progress around obstacles
• Easier reversing and manoeuvring
• Less fatigue during longer mowing sessions

If you’ve used a manual lawn tractor before and found it clunky in tighter areas, this upgrade is immediately noticeable.

Cutting and Collection Performance

The 86 cm steel cutting deck uses twin blades to deliver a clean, even finish. It’s wide enough to make good progress on larger lawns, without becoming awkward to handle in tighter sections. Cutting height is centrally adjusted through seven stages from 30 to 90 mm, so it’s easy to adapt through the season.

Rear collection keeps lawns tidy, particularly where appearance matters. The 250-litre grass box fills evenly and is easy to empty using the telescopic lever, reducing downtime during longer cuts.

Comfort, Layout and Daily Use

This model keeps things practical rather than flashy. The seating position gives good visibility of the cutting area, controls fall easily to hand, and the steering feels predictable. Over longer sessions, the combination of hydrostatic drive and supportive seating makes a noticeable difference compared to entry-level manual tractors.

LED headlights improve visibility in shaded areas or poor light, while the front bumper adds basic protection when working close to trees, fences, or garden furniture.

Mulching and Versatility

A mulching kit is included, allowing you to switch from collecting to mulching when conditions are dry. This reduces emptying stops and returns fine clippings to the lawn. The tow hitch also opens up light-duty jobs such as pulling a trailer, roller, or spreader.

Where It Sits in the solo® by AL-KO Range

The Easy T 14-86.6 HD-A sits above manual Easy models, offering a clear comfort upgrade without the size, weight, or cost of the Comfort and Premium ranges. It’s the model buyers often choose when they want hydrostatic drive but still want to stay sensible on budget and storage space.
