What about the new Hayter Harrier 41 PRO? Build quality looks significantly better than previous plus it comes with a 2 year commercial warranty. A friend of mine swears by Masport, which tend to be 18", though I've never used them myself. I currently use a Weibang which has exceptional build quality but is 19" as is my Etesia.
Agree on Masport's being a good mower.I ran one of the 18" rollers for a number of season. Very strong build wise and not much to go wrong,no BBC though.
Thanks Gents. Interesting comments. Used to love our old Hayters but the supports were only aluminium so kept shearing off. Ended up having a friend fabricate a steel one. Would be interested to see if that build quality has improved. Decent commercial warranty as well Jonathan.
I'll have a look at the Weibangs and Masports. Seen them but been reluctant to take the plunge without recommendations.
p.s if you've broken the deck handle mounts on 48/56 hayters rollers (old style) there is an easy and cheap fix by buying two extra lower handlebar clamps. Often saves scraping the deck and means it can continued to be used (for us it's lasted several years).
Just bought a weibang roller mower recently, so cant comment on long term reliability but the build quality looks very good,(aluminium deck), easy to fold up, bag fills up well, no complaints so far!
