Hello my name is Austin Jarrett from Allett Mowers.
If you are very very serious about your lawns or you have a gardener and you want to have
exceptional lawns then you need to look at the Allett Buffalo.
The Allett Buffalo comes in a range of sizes and we have one suitable for all sizes of
lawns.
The Buffalo is used on the finest lawns and football pitches and sports grounds all over
the world.
The reason why the Buffalo is selected for these really high-quality locations is because
it's a very serious machine it can be used as a professional product if you walk behind
a mower for your job then this is a mower that you'd be very proud to walk behind but
it's also very precise in what it does and it also has an amazing ability to be able
to cylinder mow even in very wet conditions and put all the grass into the grass box.
So let me talk you through the whole product.
The grass box at the front of the machine takes all the grass that is cut.
It's an extremely robust plastic roto-molded box and we select that material because it
will really take a lot of scratching and bumping without causing any damage whatsoever to the
grass box.
The front roller is adjusted by these adjusters that rolls the grass but it also controls
the height of cut very accurately.
The business end of the machine is the cutting cylinder this is an eighth inch or two hundred
millimetre diameter cylinder that's the sort of diameter selling that you'd expect to see
on a gang mower behind a tractor.
The reason we use such a large diameter cylinder is it can handle a large volume of grass so
if you get caught out and go on holiday for a week or two and the grass really grows this
cylinder mower will handle long grass and that's not what you normally expect from a
cylinder mower.
The blades are extremely thick and they're hardened and the bottom blade against which
it cuts again is quite thick.
The cutting range for this machine on the height of cut is about half an inch up to
about two and a half inches so that covers really all ranges of grass for the general
lawn appearance.
The cylinder gives a really fine cut it gives 88 clips in every metre so you just can't
see where the blades have been it's very robust and because it's such a large diameter it
throws the grass into the grass box from a very high position this ensures even in wet
conditions that all the grass goes into the grass box.
The height of cut choices I have with this machine are from 15 millimetres to over two
and a half inches and that gives us the range of grass cutting that we need to produce any
type of lawn.
We use Honda GX Series engines these are professional series engines and we use them because our
customers love them so much and just because of their ever reliable starting.
The Buffalo's are extremely controllable and easy to use as you would expect so I have
two bail bars; the first engages the cylinder drive if I release it it fails to safe and
the rear bail bar controls the drive to the rear roller again if I release this it fails
to safe.
Other controls is hand brake and also my throttle to choose my cutting speed.
The rear rollers on the Buffalo's are strong and robust and they are also rubber-coated
that means that we can drive them around on concrete surfaces even gravel surfaces and
they will drive the machine very adequately or even up and down unloading ramps.
It's split with the differential and on this 20 inch model it split into two pieces that
means when we're turning at the end that we're not scuffing the grass because the rubber
does have really good traction.
The roller of course is the key to creating these wonderful stripes and combined with
the Buffalo's higher weight because there's a lot of steel in this machine it creates
a very strong stripe that lasts until the next mowing.
The Allett Buffalo is available in four different widths and it's important you choose the right
with the machine for your lawn this is the 20 inch which is the smallest; we do 24 inches,
27 inches and 34 inches for the biggest lawns and those are used on international football
pitches too.
Choose the right width of lawn mower for your size of lawn and the best way I can use of
describing it is that if you go for too narrow a mower on too large a lawn the stripes start
to appear like corduroy rather than stripes and and it's the stripe effect that we're
after for the most impressive lawn so choose the correct lawnmower size of lawn mower for
the size of lawn that you have and we can give you that advice if you visit our website
at
www.allett.co.uk.
You will find all sorts of advice and you're able to ask us any questions that apply to
you or your lawn.
All i can say is really the Buffalo is the King of lawnmowers we're very very proud of
this product we have a whole range of products that suit all pockets but if the effect you
want is the best possible lawn you can have then its the Allett Buffalo that you need
to buy.
