Hayter Hayterette Push

Just picked up my hayterrete today, got it to mow the tracks and orchards and other rough areas at my 4 acre smallholding, so first impressions are its fantastic I mowed all tracks and both orchards in an hour, this usually takes 3-4 hours with a strimmer or my other old mculloch 3in1 which has always struggled with long grass even tho it says it copes with it trust me it doesn't, part of the reason it's so quick is the fact it doesn't have a drive system, rather than being a bad thing I found that the mower will cut anything in front of it even when I walked at a fast walk, the grass today was around six inches would Prob walk slower if cutting longer grass tho.

Some ground is quite rough and this does vibrate a little through your wrists as the wheels bump up and down but so much better then stimming it didn't bother me at all, I've been struggling with strimmers and useless mowers for ten years and am so glad I finally brought the hayterette I've been looking at it for years not wanting to spend thousands on big rough cutters but not wanting to spend hundreds on something that looks a little puny, finally took the plunge and now wish I had done so years ago.

It's also very light so easy to lift into back of my truck. If your in the same sort of dilemma as me just get it, trust me you won't regret it.

Described as ideal for rough ground so I bought it for my orchard. Moles and frost bring up stones in the winter so a rough ground one should be ideal. I got half way through the first cut picked up a stone which chopped up the blades like tinfoil and removed one of the bolts which I cannot now find. No doubt I will find it next time I mow. The swinging blades appear to me a typical gimmick which adds nothing but reduces usability. I now have to buy a new set of blades and bolts at £25 the set. Don't waste your money.

I've had a Hayterette cutting my medium sized lawn for 40 years! In that time I've only had to replace the baffle on the exhaust and the pull string. I am not one to nurse things but I service it each autumn. It has cut neighbours lawns frequently also. I'm full of admiration. If you're buying a mower get one with aluminium deck. It will repay.

The Hayter Hayterette Push is a wonderful rough cut lawnmower. Absolutely ideal for use on my verge, under trees, in my paddock- in fact anywhere where the going gets rough. Absolutely bombproof design and build quality. Like the swinging blade design which prevents damage to the engine shaft if you hit something solid in the undergrowth. Simple to service and maintain. It's a bit steep pricewise, but it'll last you twenty years or more.
