Hi all,

We are on the lookout for a powered rotary mower with about a 41cm cut
and wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations and why


Hayter - c25 years old and still going strong. Used on large garden of
c0.3acre of grass for 10 years but house move to larger lawned area means
its now just used fortnightly to get the steeper areas and bank sides.


Is this one powered / driven OOI please as looking at both this
Qualcast and a Hayter previously, the 'gear in wheel' looks prone to
being damaged if a small stone got in there (and how I came to be
looking at the Hayter).

Easy to service.


Servicing isn't generally an issue, as long as the designers have done
their stuff. That said, I have seen some engine drain plugs in some
less that ideal places but I guess that's what you might get when you
take a stock engine and mount it on a platform?

May I ask what model your Hayter is please (I know you probably can't
still get it today).

Cheers, T i m
