Precision Mowing for Elite Sports Turf
The Allett Tournament 24 is a precision-engineered turf mower, built to meet the highest standards required for maintaining professional cricket wickets, golf greens, and bowling greens. Specifically designed for sports where a consistent, true finish is essential, it delivers optimal ball roll and surface uniformity with every pass. This mower is the definitive choice for groundskeepers and turf specialists seeking a flawless cut.
At its heart is a reliable Honda GX160 engine, which operates efficiently at low speeds to reduce fuel consumption, noise levels, and vibration. This ensures a smoother, more comfortable user experience, even during extended periods of operation. The 610mm (24″) cutting width is perfectly complemented by a 120mm diameter, 10-blade cutting cylinder, which achieves an impressive 217 cuts per metre for a dense, manicured finish.
Integrated Groomer for a Perfect Surface
A key feature of the Tournament 24 is its integrated powered turf groomer. This system works in tandem with the cutting cylinder, using 45 precision vertical blades (spaced at 10mm intervals) to lift lateral grasses and runners just before they are cut. This action produces a cleaner, more level sward essential for high-performance turf. The grooming reel can be set 2–3mm below the height of cut (HOC) for an aggressive action that helps create a firmer, more consistent playing surface by removing surface debris and reducing thatch.
Advanced Control and Operator Comfort
Control is paramount in professional turf care, and the Allett Tournament 24 delivers. The cutting height is fully adjustable from a remarkably low 2.4mm up to 19mm, allowing groundskeepers to fine-tune the turf length to exacting requirements. Handle-mounted engagement levers provide responsive control of both the cutting cylinder and the drive system. Manoeuvrability is assured by the two-piece steel rear roller with a bevel gear differential, which enables tight, smooth turns with minimal turf disturbance. The grooved aluminium front roller, equipped with a scraper and sealed end bearings, enhances durability and helps maintain clean, sharp lines.
The mower includes a lightweight yet durable 39-litre grass box. For added convenience, optional accessories such as pneumatic transport wheels are available. To reduce operator fatigue, the handlebars are fitted with anti-vibration mountings, promoting comfort and control throughout the working day.
