The Hayter Harrier® 48 is a premium rear-roller petrol lawnmower designed for gardeners who demand a pristine, striped finish. It is perfectly suited for medium-sized lawns up to 500 square metres. Its variable speed drive allows you to set a comfortable walking pace between 2.1 – 3.3mph, ensuring effortless mowing across your entire garden.
Superior Performance and Finish
At the heart of the Harrier 48’s striping ability is its two-piece, ribbed rear roller. This design not only provides superior traction but also allows you to make turns without marking or damaging the turf, preserving the flawless finish. The mower’s Trim Side deck design enables you to cut right to the edge of borders, flower beds, and walls, minimising the need for additional trimming. Hayter’s innovative Vari-Pitch™ cutting technology, combined with front and side fins, creates a high-performing cut and collection system that efficiently removes grass clippings for a clean lawn.
Built to Last
Durability is a key feature of the Harrier range. The mower is built around a robust aluminium cutter deck, which is both long-lasting and hard-wearing, and comes with a Lifetime Deck Warranty against cracking or breaking during normal use. Powering the machine is a reliable Hayter 159cc 4-stroke engine featuring Guaranteed to Start (GTS) technology for hassle-free starting every time.
User-Friendly Operation
The Harrier 48 is packed with features for convenience. A single, easy-to-use lever allows you to choose from seven different cutting heights, ranging from 13mm to 60mm. The generous 70-litre grass bag can be lifted straight through the handlebars for simple emptying. After mowing, the integrated easy-wash hose connector lets you clean the underside of the deck without any fuss. For storage, the handlebars fold down, significantly reducing the space needed in a shed or garage. The mower can also be used to quickly collect fallen leaves by setting the cutting height one position above the grass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Hayter Harrier 48 best for?
This mower is ideal for homeowners with medium-sized formal lawns up to 500 square metres (roughly two tennis courts). Its rear roller is perfect for creating a classic striped finish on flatter lawns with minimal slopes.
What is the benefit of a two-piece rear roller?
The two-piece, ribbed rear roller on the Harrier 48 not only creates sharp, defined stripes but also provides superior traction. The split design allows you to make turns at the end of a lawn without scuffing or marking the turf, ensuring a pristine finish.
How does the variable speed drive work?
The variable speed self-propulsion allows the operator to adjust the mower’s forward pace to match their comfortable walking speed, from 2.1 to 3.3 mph. This means you can slow down for tricky areas and speed up on long, straight runs, all without affecting the blade speed.
What is Hayter’s Vari-Pitch™ cutting technology?
Vari-Pitch™ is a high-performance cutting and collection system. It automatically adjusts the cutter deck’s airflow to efficiently clear grass clippings, even in challenging conditions, ensuring a clean cut and excellent collection performance.
