Allett Buffalo 27 27″ Cylinder Mower

The Allett Buffalo 27 stands as the ultimate all-rounder for professional groundskeepers and discerning gardeners. It is meticulously designed to deliver a pristine, striped finish across a wide variety of grass types, performing exceptionally even in challenging, damp conditions. This mower is perfectly suited for maintaining formal lawns, public parks, and smaller sports pitches, providing the durability, precision, and flexibility essential for professional-grade turf care.

Professional Performance and Power

At the heart of the Buffalo 27 is the renowned Honda GX160 4-stroke petrol engine. Known for its exceptional reliability, this 4.8hp engine ensures low fuel consumption, quiet operation, and minimal vibration. This combination reduces operator fatigue and lowers the environmental impact without compromising on power, making it ideal for long working days.

With a generous 68cm (27″) working width, the Buffalo 27 covers ground quickly and efficiently. This makes it the ideal machine for larger, high-profile areas that require consistent results and reduced mowing time. Despite its wide coverage, its robust yet compact design allows for confident manoeuvrability in more sensitive or restricted spaces.

Precision Cutting System

Equipped with a precision-engineered 8-blade, 200mm diameter cutting cylinder, the Buffalo 27 produces a clean, scissor-like cut that promotes healthy turf growth and a beautiful striped finish. The micro-set height-of-cut adjustment system allows for precise control from 10mm to 40mm. This, combined with a high clip rate of 61 clips per metre, allows grounds professionals to tailor the cut to specific grass conditions and seasonal requirements, maintaining impeccable quality regardless of forward speed. A large 115-litre grassbox, moulded from durable plastic with a steel reinforcing strip, ensures efficient collection and reduces downtime for emptying.

Operator Comfort and Control

Operator comfort is a key focus in the Buffalo 27’s design. The ergonomically designed handlebar features anti-vibration mountings, making the machine comfortable and easy to operate for extended periods. The durable two-piece, rubber-covered rear roller incorporates a steel bevel gear differential, ensuring smooth turning without damaging the turf while creating those classic, strong Allett stripes. A smooth steel front roller with sealed end-bearings provides consistent ground contact and effortless operation. For even greater control, an optional Buffalo Speed Reduction Kit is available to slow forward speed and increase the clip rate for an even finer finish.
