The Ultimate Mower for Large British Lawns
The Hayter Harrier® 56 stands as the largest pedestrian rear roller rotary lawnmower in the Hayter range, making it the definitive choice for homeowners with expansive lawns. With its impressive 56cm cutting width and a robust, two-piece rear roller, it is perfectly suited for maintaining formal gardens and large lawns up to 1000 square metres – roughly the size of a five-a-side football pitch.
This self-propelled lawnmower is engineered for convenience and performance. It features an intuitive Sens-a-Speed™ system, which automatically adjusts the drive speed to match your personal walking pace (from 1.0 to 2.9mph). Starting is made completely effortless thanks to the Briggs & Stratton InStart® push-button electric starter, completely removing the hassle of a traditional pull cord.
Advanced Features for a Professional Finish
The Harrier 56 is packed with technology to ensure a pristine cut and a beautiful lawn. Its integrated ribbed rear roller not only creates perfectly sharp, classic stripes but also provides superior traction and manoeuvrability, preventing turf marking when turning. The Trim Side deck design allows you to mow right up to the edge of borders, raised flower beds, and retaining walls for a neat and tidy finish.
Built to last, the mower boasts a high-quality aluminium cutter deck that is both hard-wearing and long-lasting, backed by a lifetime deck warranty against cracking or breaking. Adjusting the cutting height is simple with a single easy-to-use lever, offering seven different heights from 13mm to 60mm. The high-performance cut and collection system, featuring Vari-Pitch™ cutting technology, efficiently clears grass clippings, while an easy-wash hose connector simplifies cleaning the underside of the deck. For convenient storage, the handlebars fold down, significantly reducing the space needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What size lawn is the Hayter Harrier 56 suitable for?
The Hayter Harrier 56 is specifically designed for large lawns, with the manufacturer recommending it for areas up to 1000 square metres. Its wide 56cm (approx. 22″) cutting deck makes it highly efficient for covering substantial ground.
Does this mower have an electric start?
Yes, this model is equipped with the Briggs & Stratton InStart® system. This technology provides an effortless push-button start, completely eliminating the need for a traditional pull cord.
Can the Hayter Harrier 56 create stripes on the lawn?
Absolutely. The Harrier 56 features a two-piece, ribbed polymer rear roller which is essential for creating the classic, sharp stripes synonymous with a well-kept British lawn. The roller also aids stability and traction.
What is the Sens-a-Speed™ system?
Sens-a-Speed™ is Hayter’s intelligent drive system. It automatically adjusts the mower’s self-propelled speed to match your walking pace, ranging from 1.0 to 2.9 mph. This provides a more comfortable and intuitive mowing experience without needing to manually adjust levers.
What does ‘PDI’ mean when buying from an authorised Hayter dealer like Sims?
PDI stands for Pre-Delivery Inspection. Unlike buying from a ‘box-shifter’, when you purchase locally from Sims Garden Machinery, our trained mechanics build, fuel, and test the mower to ensure it’s running perfectly. We then deliver it ready-to-use and provide a full handover so you understand how to operate and maintain it safely.
