OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Something Different "Hayter Harrier 48"

Well it's amazing what you can find in some of the most unsuspecting places. Came across this mower at Cash converters and thought "what the heck", worse case scenario i'll part it up and use the quantum on something else.
About the mower: It's a Hayter Harrier 48 self propelled roller mower. It's definitely different and i've never come across one before. Brought it home, put some fuel in it and started up first pull. Everything about the mower is functional and according to the engine code it was made sometime in 1991.
It's running a 12ci (190cc)quantum with a PTO to run the self propelled unit.
Thought i'd post it up as i searched Hayter on this site and it appears no-one has posted anything about these mowers on this site before.
Any comments, discussions or or general banter welcome.
Hayter have a UK based website and these mowers are still in production today.

That looks so close to an MTD I parted out it scary, I was never able to try the mtd as "the place" I got it from had cut up all the cables and leads before it got to my mates yard to make sure noone fixed it. One main difference though was my mtd had electric start...

What a good score mate...and as you say...something different.

Yes, something different alright. "mower of the decade". Interesting reading there Deejay.
I now have a catch phrase for her, "You either hayter or you love'er".
Joe I intend on using it to see how good it actually is but i'm going to have to wait a week or so for the grass to grow, i just cut it 2 days ago with my trusty Victa.
