Chris Bb Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Cylinder give the best cut, as its a clean cut like cutting with scissors. Just has to be set up right. Figgy Some of the cheaper cylinder mowers do not have the cylinder touching a bar, they rely on the speed of the cylinder's baldes to rip the top of the grass off. Regardless of the action, the blade(s) must be kept sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hayter are made in the UK (not far from my town). OK they have a Briggs & Stratton engine but if you want to support British Engineering rather than Japanese then surely a better choice than Honda. I have one and it does the job.

Paddy Galore! Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 i have a hayter which i found in a skip last year, my father has the next one up which is self propelled and has a heavy roller, both are powered by briggs and stratton motors and have cast alloy frames, i'd advise not to get cheap, for example tin or plastic bodies as they're carp and will rust or just break.
