Hayter Motif 48 Autodrive Lawn Mower (Code: 439H) (Ex Demo 30 Mins Use)

With over 50-years of accumulated lawn mower knowledge under their belts, it’s no surprise Hayter are capable of producing machines of this quality. The Motif 48 is equipped with Briggs and Stratton’s ever-popular 600E Series EcoPlus engine. Thanks to Hayter’s unique cutter-bar Friction Disc, both the crankshaft and engine are protected should the operator strike an immovable object (the crankshaft has a life-time guarantee against bending). A high-quality steel cutting-deck contributes further to durability. The Hayter Motif 48 Autodrive Lawn Mower has a rear-wheel power-drive that will make it easy to operate on slopes; rough grass; and undulating ground. Single-point cutting-height control means it couldn’t be easier to make the necessary adjustments; while folding handlebars serve to reduce the overall size of the mower for space-saving storage. Other key features include a fabric grassbag (59-litres), which allows spent air to escape for improved collection-performance; and ball-bearing mounted wheels, which will far outlast wheels mounted on bushes.
