Maxim: “The Viking 545 lawnmower is a workhorse with a powerful engine that can handle a large area overgrown with grass. I didn’t even think to write a review, but I liked it so much that I want to recommend it to you and others. The tank is roomy. Thanks to the low fuel consumption, I have enough fuel for 2 mowing tanks. Mows smoothly, even though our area is anything but smooth. Starts up without any problems. “

- The height of the cuttings is centrally adjustable on 7 levels between 25 and 80 mm. An integrated indicator shows when the 60 liter grass catcher box is full.
- The control handle can be easily adjusted in three positions.
- The Viking 545T is made of impact-resistant polymer.

Performance, maintenance
When developing the 545T, Viking made many ergonomic improvements that make the operator’s work much easier. The grass catcher box is equipped with a hinged lid and is easily emptied with functional handles.
Starting is fast, whether the engine is cold or warm. With one step on the rear wheels, operating the Wikinger 545T lawnmower is easy and convenient – with one turn of the control lever, the unit starts working.
The Wikinger lawnmower should be fueled immediately before starting. Liquid unhealthy gasoline with an octane rating above 77 is poured about 4 cm below the level of the chute edge. Engine oil is Viking HD brand 10W-30.
There are several modifications of the Viking fifth series of mowers with different additional functions: quick start, electric start with the ignition key (MB 545 VE), Vario Drive for stepless speed regulation with the lever, a more powerful 3.7 hp engine (MB 545 V), equipment with a garden roller for creating a specific lawn pattern (MB 545.0 VR), mulching system as a standard feature (MB 545 VM).
In the instruction manual for the Viking 545T lawnmower, you can read about the features of the device and its operation:
Advantages and disadvantages of the Viking MB 545T model
The Viking lawnmower has a lightweight body made of high-strength, thermo-UV-resistant polymer and a reinforced sheet-steel frame. There are special removable strips on the sides that provide protection when working near fences, curbs and worn out cladding and can be replaced with new ones.
Optionally, the Viking 545T lawnmower will be equipped with a special mulching kit. When mulching the grass is not collected in a container, but finely chopped and distributed over the area during the movement of the mower. Thus, the operator is freed from the need to clean the grass catcher box from the mowed grass, and the lawn receives a natural, environmentally friendly fertilizer.
Of the disadvantages, owners most often note the rather high cost of the model – about 48,000 rubles. And also the need to choose a place with a minimum amount of grass to preheat the engine. It is also important to carefully clean the lawn from foreign objects (it is necessary to identify stones, branches, tree roots, stumps and other hidden obstacles).
