Premium Performance for Large Lawns
The Hayter Harrier® 56 stands as the largest pedestrian rear roller rotary lawn mower in Hayter’s range, making it the definitive choice for maintaining large lawns up to 1000 square metres – roughly the size of a 5-a-side football pitch. Its impressive cutting width and powerful petrol engine make light work of extensive formal gardens, delivering a pristine, professional finish every time.
Intuitive Control and a Flawless Finish
Achieving the perfect cut is effortless with the Harrier 56. The mower features Hayter’s innovative Sens-a-Speed™ system, which automatically adapts the self-propelled drive to match your walking pace, adjustable from 1.0 to 2.9mph. This intuitive control ensures comfortable operation across large areas. The integrated two-piece, ribbed polymer rear roller is key to its performance, creating sharp, classic stripes while providing superior traction. The split design cleverly avoids marking the turf when making turns, preserving the immaculate finish.
Advanced Features and Lasting Durability
Engineered for excellence, the Harrier 56 is packed with features for convenience and longevity. The hard-wearing aluminium cutter deck comes with a Lifetime Warranty against cracking or breaking during normal use. Its Trim Side design allows you to cut right to the edge of borders and flower beds. The high-performance cut and collection system, enhanced by Vari-Pitch™ technology and front/side fins, ensures efficient grass clipping removal. Maintenance is simplified with an easy-wash hose connector for cleaning the underside of the deck. Further benefits include a simple single-lever height-of-cut adjustment (7 positions, 13-60mm), folding handlebars for compact storage, and an easy-to-empty 70L grass bag that lifts through the handlebars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Hayter Harrier 56 lawn mower best suited for?
The Hayter Harrier 56 is designed for homeowners with large, formal lawns up to 1000 square metres. Its wide 56cm (approx. 22″) cutting deck and rear roller make it the ideal choice for creating a classic, sharp striped finish on relatively flat ground.
What is the main benefit of the two-piece rear roller?
The two-piece, ribbed rear roller provides superior traction and manoeuvrability. Its key benefit is that it allows you to turn the mower at the end of a run without scuffing or marking the turf, ensuring your perfect stripes remain undisturbed.
How does the Hayter Sens-a-Speed™ system work?
The Sens-a-Speed™ system is an intuitive self-propelled drive that automatically adjusts the mower’s speed to match your personal walking pace. It operates within a range of 1.0 to 2.9mph, providing a more comfortable and efficient mowing experience without needing to manually adjust levers.
Does this mower cut right to the edge of the lawn?
Yes, it does. The Harrier 56 features Hayter’s Trim Side deck design, which positions the cutter blade very close to the edge of the deck. This allows you to mow precisely along borders, raised flower beds, and retaining walls, minimising the need for additional trimming.
What does the Hayter Lifetime Deck Warranty cover?
The Lifetime Deck Warranty protects the original purchaser against any cracking or breaking of the aluminium cutter deck during normal domestic use. To maintain this warranty, the lawnmower must receive an annual service from an authorised Hayter dealer. It provides excellent peace of mind in the durability of the machine.
