British-made mowers give an unrivalled traditional finish to the lawn

If you’re looking for a traditional British made lawnmower look no further than the Allett range.
New for 2012, the company makes a range of solidly-built cylinder mowers which leave the lawn with a perfect striped finish.
This style of mower has been used for many years in the great country houses of Britain to give a very precise clean cut – and are the secret behind many bowling greens and cricket pitches.

The range starts with the Allett Classic 12E Electric Cylinder Lawn Mower. Mains powered, the Allett Classic can cut right down to 6 mm and is powered by a 23 volt motor.
The machine has five cylinder blades which trap the glass against a cutting blade to give a very precise cut.
The advantage of this mower is that it is very quiet to use and so is ideal for a town or city lawn.
A steel rear roller gives the perfect striped finish; it is easy to use with controls on the handlebar and there is a 32 litre grass box.
There is a 22.5 metre cable and the cartridge-based cylinder is easily replaced by a very useful scarifying cassette.
This model costs £379.00 and comes with free next working day delivery and a one-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

The Allett Kensington 20K Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower is the absolutely classic British mower.
Think of any traditional British garden and you will remember the green mower puttering up and down and the Allett Kensington will give that flawless finish with the front roller made from zinc plated steel and the rear roller from solid steel.
This mower has a 98 cc four stroke engine designed to be easy to start and six rotating blades. The cutting width is over 50 cm and there is a scarifying cassette you can buy as an extra to keep the lawn healthy.
This mower can be improved still further with another optional extra, a 10-blade cutting cylinder.
The cutting heights go from 32 mm to a very short 6 mm and there is a very large grass box which can hold 70 litres.
Delivery is free the next working day, there is a one year manufacturer’s guarantee and the mower costs ££1,159.00, a good £90 cheaper than the RRP.

And at the top of the Allett range is the Buckingham 20H Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower.
This traditional mower is perfect for the larger lawn as there is a clever trailing seat which can be fitted which follows the mower as it is steered.
Power comes from a 196 cc engine and there is a good sized 3.1 litre fuel tank meaning less time spent re-fuelling.
An adjustable lawn rake fitted in front of the front roller and lifts the grass for a more even cut.
The rear roller drives the mower forward a feature which helps provide the all-important traditional stripes and the cutting height is adjustable from 5 mm to 35 mm.
There is a large sized grass box which has a capacity of 84 litres and the machine is easy to drive and control. This model costs £3,159.00 including free next working day delivery to a Uk mainland address, and a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Allett machines are British made and totally traditional in appearance and in the finish they give to the lawn beloved by the discerning gardener.
