HAYTER Harrier 56 PRO Petrol Auto-Drive Lawn Mower (579C)

A British-Built Mower That Creates Perfect Stripes: Hayter Harrier 56 PRO Auto-Drive

If you want a lawn that looks professionally finished, you need more than just raw power. You need control, collection, and a roller that remains consistent from the first pass to the last. The Hayter Harrier 56 PRO Auto-Drive BBC fits the bill perfectly. Beautifully built here, in Great Britain, this professional rear-roller mower delivers the widest stripe in its class and the kind of dependable performance that suits large domestic gardens and commercial spaces alike. It is recommended for lawns up to 1,000m².

Briggs & Stratton 850E I/C Engine Power

The Harrier 56 PRO lawnmower is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 850E I/C engine. This is a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled OHV unit with a displacement of 190cc. It produces 4.4 horsepower (3.29kW), giving you the muscle needed for thick growth and longer mowing sessions. Starting is via recoil, and the 1-litre fuel tank provides plenty of runtime before refuelling is required.

Commercial-Grade Drive with Three Working Speeds

Covering larger areas is far easier when the lawnmower does the hard work for you. This machine is self-propelled and fitted with a commercial-grade, three-speed transmission. You can choose between 1.9mph, 2.5mph, and 3.2mph, so you’re not forced into one pace for every situation. Slower speeds suit tighter areas and thicker grass, while the faster setting helps you cover open ground quickly. The auto-drive system reduces operator fatigue and keeps progress steady across the whole lawn.

Blade Brake Clutch: Stop the Blade but Keep Moving

One of the many standout features of this petrol lawnmower is its crank-safe blade brake clutch, which, in day-to-day use, makes a real difference. You can stop the blade to empty the grass bag, without needing to turn off and restart the engine. It also allows you to travel across paths and hard surfaces without the blade rotating. This saves time, reduces repeated starting strain, and keeps your workflow smooth when you’re mowing around separated lawn sections.

Aluminium Deck for Long-Term Durability

The cutting deck is a 22-inch (56cm) aluminium unit, chosen for its impressive strength and corrosion resistance. It offers a high durability-to-weight ratio, so is robust without feeling overly heavy in use. For professional users, this deck material is a major advantage, as it withstands frequent work in all conditions while resisting rust over time.

Seven Cutting Heights for Precise Lawn Control

Whether you’re maintaining a short, formal lawn or managing stronger seasonal growth, height adjustment needs to be quick and reliable. The Harrier 56 PRO uses a simple height-of-cut lever with seven positions. Cutting heights range from 13mm to 60mm, allowing you to tailor the finish to the time of year and desired look.

Vari-Pitch™ Technology for Better Lift in Longer Grass

Longer grass can be harder for the machine to lift cleanly into the bag, especially when conditions are heavy. Hayter’s Vari-Pitch™ cutting technology helps solve this by automatically adjusting the cutter deck angle. When you set the mower to a higher cut, airflow is increased to improve suction. The result is a cleaner finish and stronger collection performance.

Aerospace-Inspired Collection and a 70L Grass Bag

This self propelled mower is designed to collect efficiently, not just cut. It uses a highly unique deck underside and blade profile, developed using aerospace technology. This further improves airflow and helps move clippings cleanly into the bag. The large 70-litre collector reduces the number of stops you need to make, which is a major benefit when mowing bigger lawns.

Two-Piece Ribbed Rear Roller for Classic Stripes

A rear-roller mower should do two things well. It should create a beautiful striped finish, and handle turns without scuffing the turf. The Harrier 56 PRO achieves both with its two-piece steel ribbed rear roller. It offers excellent traction, supports confident manoeuvring, and helps prevent turf marking when turning. Most importantly, it lays down those crisp, defined ‘Hayter stripes’ that instantly lift the look of the whole garden.

Easy-Wash Port for Fast Clean-Downs

To keep a lawnmower performing at its best, the cutting chamber needs regular cleaning. The Harrier 56 PRO makes that task simple with an easy-wash hose connector port, which allows you to rinse out the deck quickly and efficiently after mowing. It’s a practical feature that encourages good maintenance habits, helping preserve long-term cutting and collection quality.

Optional Extras Available

To protect and maintain your lawnmower, why not purchase some optional extras? We sell a Hayter lawnmower cover and SAE 30 engine oil, both designed to help keep the machine in tip-top condition, year after year.

Warranty for Domestic or Professional Use

The Hayter Harrier 56 PRO is supplied with a two-year domestic warranty or two-year professional warranty. It’s a reassuring level of cover for a mower that’s built to work hard, and reflects Hayter’s confidence in its design and engineering.

FAQs

Q: Is the Hayter Harrier 56 PRO only designed for domestic lawns, or can it be used commercially?

It is suitable for both. This petrol mower is designed as part of Hayter’s professional rear-roller range, with a durable aluminium deck and commercial-grade drive system, making it absolutely ideal for regular professional use.

Q: Can I empty the grass bag without switching the engine off?

Yes, you can. The blade brake clutch allows you to stop the blade while the engine continues running. This means you can empty the bag and then resume mowing without having to restart the engine, which is quicker and reduces repeated strain on the machine.
