A First Class Cut
There is nothing better than a cylinder mower to leave that classic razor-sharp finish to your lawn. Just one word of warning, cylinder mowers are designed for a fine cut lawn. In many cases, a petrol roller rotary mower can give a very good finish if your lawn is slightly uneven or rough. Roller rotary mowers also offer more versatility than the cylinder mower. However, if you are keen and you want a good lawn, there’s nothing better than a cylinder mower for that perfect finish.
Classic Mower Classic Cut
This classic cylinder Allett lawnmower has a 14-inch cut (35.6 cm). The five-bladed cutting cylinder delivers 66 variable cuts per metre, leaving a perfect finish. A cylinder mower has a very precise scissor-type cutting action. The five-blade cylinder cuts against a rigid fixed blade which gives that perfect razor-type cut.
It is important to make sure your lawn is clear of any debris before cutting. Cylinder mowers are more delicate than a rotary mower due to the precise cutting action. Stones and hard objects can potentially put the cylinder out of balance and reduce the quality of cut.
The cutting height of the Allett Classic has five preset cutting heights ranging from 1/4 inch to 1 1/4 inches (6 to 32 mm).
Petrol Engine
The Allett Classic 14L Self Propelled Petrol Cylinder Mower is powered by an 87 cc Loncin four-stroke engine with recoil start. This modern designed engine features excellent economy and low emissions.
Steel Roller And Adjustable Handlebars
The steel rear roller is the part of the mower that gives that traditional perfect striped lawn. The adjustable handlebars are adjustable to 3 different positions, depending on the height of the operator. The handlebars can be folded down for storage or for transporting the machine.
Scarifier Cartridge
One of the many benefits of the Allett range of cylinder mowers is the fact that an optional scarifier cartridge can be fitted. The scarifier cartridge simply goes in place of the mowers standard cutting unit. To my mind, this is a great option for keeping your lawn healthy all year round and making the most of your Allett mower.
To Conclude
If you are looking for a well-groomed fine cut lawn then the Allett cylinder mowers are definitely worth a look. These British built cylinder mowers leave a perfect finish to your lawn and come with the finest British engineering.
As I mentioned earlier, cylinder mowers are great for having a perfect bowling green type finish. However, for some people, a rear roller cylinder mower can give a good finish and is more versatile if you’re lawn is uneven.
If you’re looking for a fine lawn and a fine piece of engineering then I would definitely think about purchasing an Allett mower.
