Whether it’s small or large, lawns look their best when left with a perfect stripe and this look is only possible with a mower with a rear roller.
So here are five top mowers to give that quintessentially English finish and make you the envy of the neighbourhood.
British made: Hayter Spirit lawn mower
Fins at the front of the machine smooth the grass before it is cut and there are seven cutting heights.
A Briggs & Stratton 158 cc engine gives the power and the aluminium deck has a plastic lining underneath to enhance grass collection and keep the noise down. The engine has a friction disc which stops the crank from bending if you hit something solid.
The grass box can take 55 litres and the cutting width is 41 cm making it suitable for medium sized to larger lawns.
We have it for sale for £369.95 compared with the maker’s recommended price of £449.
Delivery is free the next working day and there is a three year maker’s warranty.
Special offer: Sanli rear roller mower
This has loads of top spec features, well made and capable of dealing with natural undulations and well as billiard table lawns.
The 163 cc engine uses little fuel and has low emissions and the deck is polymer making the machine comparatively light in weight.
Cutting heights are from a very low 12 mm to 65 mm and the width is 48 cm.
The grass box can take an impressive 70 litres and folds down for easy storage.
This one costs £424.95, £75 less than the maker’s recommended price.
There is a two year manufacturer’s warranty and free next working day delivery.
Plus, absolutely free, there is a ten litre jerry can.
