Professional Power and Performance
Powered by a robust Briggs & Stratton XR550 127cc engine, the Cobra Fortis 20B is a self-propelled cylinder mower designed for larger lawns where a high-quality finish and long-lasting, defined stripes are a priority. Its heavy-duty construction and well-balanced chassis ensure precision cutting over extended periods, making this lawnmower the ideal choice for serious home gardeners, semi-professionals, and sports groundscare applications.
The Perfect Striped Finish
The finishing touch to any perfect cut is the iconic stripe, and the Fortis 20B excels in this area. It features a heavy steel front roller and a cast ribbed split rear roller, which work in tandem to create enhanced, defined stripes. The standard six-blade precision-ground cutting cylinder delivers a fine, scissor-like cut for a healthier lawn. The cutting height is easily adjusted via a single knob at the front, offering a range from 6mm to 30mm for the perfect lawn height.
Versatile Lawncare System
The Cobra Fortis 20B is more than just a mower; it’s the foundation of a complete lawn care solution. It features a versatile interchangeable cartridge system, allowing for quick and easy tool changes. While it comes with the 6-bladed cylinder, a range of optional cartridges are available to tackle any garden task. These include a 10-bladed cylinder for an even lower 3mm cut (ideal for bowling greens), a scarifier, aerator, dethatcher, verticutter, and a lawn brush.

What is the cutting height range of the Fortis 20B?

Can the Cobra Fortis 20B do more than just mow?
Yes, it features an interchangeable cassette system. While the mower comes with a 6-bladed cutting cylinder, you can purchase separate cartridges including a 10-bladed cylinder, scarifier, aerator, dethatcher, verticutter, and lawn brush to perform a full range of lawn care tasks.
