    Im a Pro Gardener , Bought a Hayter 56 BBC AUG 2008, great machine Rolls royce, but beware the height adjustment settings are dangerous. Lowest cut will cause the blade to hit the ground scalping the lawn and bending crankshaft easily. The lowest you want to set the height adjuster is to No 3, beware !!!!!
    Otherwise the BBC is the one to buy , spend a little extra and you will be a happy gardener.

    Having been a head groundsman for 10 yrs and using hayter 56 mowers we brought 2 new models, what a mistake the new "improved" Hayter Harrier 56 ones are not a patch on the old ones!
    They hate wet grass,they do slow down over time,the roller gets jammed with wet grass and will not turn,variable speed is a bit of a gimmick, and I bent the crank in one! Making a joke of their unbendable crank pledge! Listen hayter bring back the old 56 even if its just for the trade as I will now be looking at oth ...

    New model brought in features such as variable ground speed. This system worked when mower is new but soon failed. You need to be strong for this mower as it will require a lot of pushing as drive mechanism soon fades with a little use and variable speed becomes worthless. Poor quality metal used with springs especially on blade brake system snapping easily. I have replaced 2 already on my machine.
    Overall a great machine in theory but let down by poor quality metal, and design flaw with drive s ...

    Hayter Harrier is very poor at picking up damp grass. System clogs and can leave a mess on your lawn. Front wheels easily bend as adjustment system just uses a bent piece of metal rather than any proper linkage. Over time this will mean deck becomes out of true and will leave half moon scalp marks on your lawn. Grass collection bag not strong, with very week plastic base.

    Hayter Harrier 56 - Good lawn mower all round, the only problem I've had with it is that it didn't start easily, it backfired and squeaked in the wet. Cuts the long grass off though.
