“hayter 41 mower”
Written on: 08/06/2012
I have owned a Hayter Harrier 41 412C with electric start and is self propelled. The major issue with this model is the strength of the rear roller support brackets which are made of cast aluminium. In 7 years , I have replaced the right hand bracket three times. It is not a difficult job to replace the right hand bracket yourself but practice makes it easier and I have had plenty of practice. This bracket is just not strong enough to take lateral stresses for any great period of time. My... (read more)

Had one for two years, as it was recommended by the salesman in the shop. I have had to replace the aliminnium roller support 3 times , i have now made one myself, the plastic roller gaurds have both fallen off . The roller keeps coming out off the drive so end up having to push the mower half the time , I could name other faults, worst mover I have ever owned . (read more)

Beware of these reviews - the harrier 41 is made as 2 totally different machines - 1 made in england with aluminium housing and parts and top of the range B & S engine - the other made in China with low cost plastic housing and parts and a low cost engine. They are 2 totally different machines. (read more)

Purchased a Harrier 41 Electric Start in 2002 by 2009 it ended up on the scrap heap. Over the 7 years the Aluminium height adjustment casing snapped, then the clutch went so the lawnmower wouldn't pull you forward. The handle snapped, etc. These are just three examples of numerous faults.
The only good thing about it is that it started every time and cut the lawn with fantastic stripes.
I would love to buy another Harrier even though it died, but fear the same problems could...

Also the build quality is realy good I can't believe all the stuff people about it being cheap and plasticy. you know when you are buying Hayter Harrier you are buying the best the rolls Royce of mowers. And so cheap at £664.55 I knew all about it befor I brought it. (read more)
“Harrier 41 rear roller push model ”
Written on: 03/06/2009
Harrier 41 rear roller push model
Very pleased with quality of cut, but have found that it is fragile in construction.
At 5 months old the lower handle cracked and needed replacing, now at just under 2 yeras old a bracket on the alumimium chassis has cracked and will need replacing. both have made impossible to use, so necessitated hire or laon of another mower. My lawn is smooth, reasonably flat and not large.
Dont buy one !!

Isn't the Hayter Harrier 41 cheap?! 269.00 buys the basic harrier push with a roller. This lawn mower cuts really well. Far better than my mountfield did. Fits into the boot of my car, it starts easily and is light enough! (read more)

This would not have been a Hayter 41 at that price more like the cheaper Chinese Spirit

Poor design and unimpressive performance. I had a push Atco petrol rotary before which is being pressed back into service again. Much easier, even if means I get more exercise pushing it, which the medicos will tell us is a good thing! (read more)

Having bought the Hayter Harrier 41 as a replacement for a Mountfield Princess, I was looking forward to the extra 2" of cutting width but it came at a price. Moneywise and weightwise. When the motor suddenly burned out it was with almost relief I purchased a smaller machine. (read more)

I have found the Hayter Harrier 41 lawn mower to be reliable, and it gives a quality finish to the lawn. There a cheaper mowers available, but if you want a machine to give years of service, then this machine will do it. I think dealers must vary in what they offer, as I have an extended warranty at no extra cost. (read more)

I think i must have a different Harrier from the reviewer. I have found my Harrier to be well built, reliable and offer a good quality cut. This machine was given 7/10 rating in the May Gardners World magazine and I totally agree.

So how do you know which is which? - And how do you know which one you are going to end up with if you're buying one off the Internet where you can't see the differences? More to the point, what an Earth was Hayter thinking of when they decided to use the same name (i.e. Harrier 41) for 2 very different quality machines? Hardly helpful, is it?
