HAYTER Harrier 48 PRO Petrol Lawn Mower (479C)

Mow Like a Pro with the Hayter Harrier 48 PRO Petrol Auto-Drive Mower

When lawn care needs to move beyond the basics, the Hayter Harrier 48 PRO confidently steps in. Designed for gardeners who value pace, precision, and presentation, this rear-roller mower is built to handle regular cutting while delivering a finish that looks professionally maintained. From private gardens to more demanding commercial work, it brings control and consistency to every pass.

Beautifully built here, in Great Britain, the Harrier 48 PRO combines robust materials with advanced engineering. It is a petrol lawnmower designed not just to cut grass, but to make the whole process smoother, faster, and far more rewarding.

Honda Power You Can Rely On

Driving this lawnmower is a Honda GCVX170 air-cooled four-stroke engine, producing 3.2hp (2.4kW) from its 170cc displacement. Known for smooth running and dependable starts, this premium engine delivers steady power throughout the cut, even when grass growth is heavier.

A 0.9-litre fuel tank provides ample runtime for larger gardens, reducing interruptions and keeping productivity high during longer mowing sessions.

Fixed-Speed Auto-Drive for Confident Progress

The Harrier 48 PRO petrol mower is equipped with a commercial-grade auto-drive system, designed to maintain a steady working pace while easing the physical effort required by the operator. The fixed drive speed of 3.2mph (5kmph) strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and control, helping you cover ground quickly without feeling rushed.

Because the lawnmower drives itself, you can concentrate on steering and finish quality, rather than pushing. This makes extended mowing jobs far more comfortable.

Blade Brake Clutch for Seamless Operation

To keep workflow smooth, Hayter has fitted this model with a crank-safe blade brake clutch system. This allows the cutting blade to stop independently of the engine, without shutting the mower down completely.

This means you can pause cutting to empty the grass bag, then continue mowing without having to restart the engine. It also lets you move safely across paths or hard surfaces using the drive system alone, which saves time and avoids unnecessary wear.

Wide Aluminium Deck for Strength and Coverage

Cutting is handled by a 19-inch (48cm) aluminium cutter deck, offering an ideal width for gardens up to 500m². This size allows you to mow efficiently while still retaining accuracy around borders and obstacles.

Aluminium construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength, while keeping overall weight manageable. It’s a durable solution that suits frequent use and long-term ownership.

Flexible Height Adjustment for Seasonal Control

Grass height requirements change throughout the year, and the Harrier 48 PRO adapts easily. A simple height-of-cut lever lets you select from seven cutting positions, ranging from 13mm to 60mm.

Whether you’re maintaining a short summer finish or leaving grass longer during cooler months, adjustment is quick and intuitive.

Vari-Pitch™ Technology for Reliable Collection

Longer grass can challenge even capable mowers, but Hayter’s Vari-Pitch™ technology helps maintain strong collection performance. As cutting height increases, the system automatically adjusts the deck angle to boost airflow.

This improves grass lift and directs clippings cleanly into the bag, helping the lawnmower maintain efficiency even when growth is more vigorous.

Advanced Deck Design for Clean Results

The underside of the deck and blade profile have been developed using aerospace-inspired design techniques. This careful shaping improves airflow and clipping movement, reducing blockages and ensuring the grass bag fills evenly.

It’s a behind-the-scenes feature that plays a big role in delivering tidy results, particularly in demanding conditions.

Rear Roller Striping with Enhanced Control

For those who value presentation, the Harrier 48 PRO includes a ribbed steel rear roller designed to create strong, defined stripes. It is built in two steel sections, improving traction and manoeuvrability while reducing the risk of turf marking during turns.

The outcome is a sharp, professional striped finish that elevates the appearance of any lawn.

High-Capacity Collection and Practical Details

A 70-litre grass bag allows you to mow for longer before stopping, which is especially useful during peak growing periods. Handling is made easier with a rear carry handle, providing a secure lifting point when moving or storing the mower.

A front bumper adds further protection, helping shield the deck and wheels from accidental knocks during use.

Simple Cleaning and Ongoing Care

Maintaining cutting performance is easier thanks to the integrated hose connector wash port. This allows you to rinse the cutting chamber quickly after mowing, helping prevent grass build-up and preserving airflow.

Optional upgrades, including a Hayter lawnmower cover and SAE 30 engine oil, are available to support proper storage and care.

Warranty Support for Long-Term Confidence

The Harrier 48 PRO is supplied with a two-year domestic or two-year commercial warranty, offering reassurance for both home users and professionals. In addition, Hayter provides a lifetime warranty on the crankshaft, reflecting its confidence in the mower’s core construction.

Professional Finish, Everyday Control

If you want a lawnmower that delivers beautiful stripes, strong collection, and reliable performance, the Hayter Harrier 48 PRO is a compelling choice. With its Honda engine, auto-drive assistance, aluminium deck, and blade brake clutch, it is built to make lawn care faster and more refined.

FAQs

Can the Hayter Harrier 48 PRO be used for professional work as well as home lawns?

Absolutely! This petrol lawnmower is part of Hayter’s professional rear-roller range and is covered by a two-year commercial warranty. It is also well suited to domestic users with lawns up to 500m² who want a premium machine.

Why is the blade brake clutch useful in day-to-day mowing?

The blade brake clutch lets you stop the blade without switching off the engine. This speeds up grass bag emptying and allows safe travel across hard surfaces while keeping the drive system engaged.
