The great British summer is threatening to arrive later this week with the weather as hot as the south of Spain.
A great British summer deserves a great British mower so here are just three from Hayter, a British manufacturer responsible for many of the fine striped lawns which epitomise the British garden in all its glory.
This little Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Push Rear Roller Lawnmower (Code: 617) has proved a very popular machine this year and is perfect for a smaller garden with its 41cm cutting width and ribbed rear roller.
The roller gives the striped finish and a 125 cc Briggs & Stratton engine powers the blades. This engine is particularly easy to start.
It curs right down to 13mm and has front fins to smooth the grass before it is trimmed.
The chassis is made from aluminium and with its cutting deck lined with polymer it will resist corrosion for years.
This one costs £285, £70 less than the maker’s recommended price and it has a three-year warranty from Hayter.
We deliver it the next working day complete with a bottle of engine oil.
For a larger lawn this could be the machine you are after.
The Hayter Harrier 48 Autodrive Lawnmower with Variable Speed (Code: 490) has a 48cm cutting width and a 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine which starts with the just the lightest pull.
It cuts down to 13mm and up to 60mm and the lined deck will guard against corrosion while minimising noise.
The mower also has a cutter-bar friction- disc to prevent damaging the crank if you hit something solid.
With a grass box of 70 litres you can spend more time mowing and less visiting the compost heap.
With this mower you receive a free 10-litre steel Jerry Can worth £24.95.
It costs £719, £180 less than the maker’s price. We deliver it free the next working day complete with a bottle of engine oil and a five-year warranty.
The Hayter Harrier 56 Autodrive Lawnmower with Variable Speed (Code: 560) is an even bigger mower with a wider cut and a 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine and is made for very large lawns where the smartest finish is needed.
And it is simply started with a key – no tugging on ropes with this one.
Cutting heights are right down to 13mm and the autodrive function means you can set the speed to that which suits you not the mower.
Strong, durable and reliable this is the mower which shows Hayter at its best.
It costs £919, £230 less than the maker’s recommended price and comes with a free steel Jerry Can worth £24.95.
Delivery is free within two to three working days and it arrives with a free bottle of oil to get you started.
