About the HAYTER Harrier 56 PRO Petrol Auto-Drive Lawn Mower (579C)
Hayter Harrier 56 PRO Auto-Drive BBC Lawnmower: Professional Performance, Perfect Lawns
The Hayter Harrier 56 PRO Auto-Drive BBC Lawnmower is designed for gardeners who expect dependable performance and flawless results. Built in Great Britain, this professional rear-roller mower delivers a wide, defined stripe and impressive cutting efficiency. It is very well suited to demanding domestic gardens and commercial spaces up to 1,000m². Every detail reflects Hayter’s commitment to user-friendly control, high-precision cutting, and exceptional durability, making this petrol lawnmower a trusted machine for serious lawn care.
Powerful Briggs & Stratton Engine
At the heart of the Harrier 56 PRO is a Briggs & Stratton 850E I/C engine. This single-cylinder, four-stroke unit delivers a power rating of 3.29kW (4.4hp) from its 190cc displacement. It is air-cooled, overhead-valve, and built for a long service life. The engine starts reliably via recoil and runs smoothly during extended use. A 1-litre fuel tank provides ample capacity for larger mowing sessions without frequent stops to refuel.
Auto-Drive Transmission for Effortless Progress
This petrol lawn mower is fully self-propelled and fitted with a commercial-grade three-speed transmission. Forward speeds of 1.9mph, 2.5mph, and 3.2mph allow you to match the pace to the terrain and grass conditions. The auto-drive system reduces operator fatigue and helps you maintain consistent progress. It is absolutely ideal for long runs and varied ground.
Crank-Safe Blade Brake Clutch System
The Harrier 56 PRO self propelled mower features the world’s first crank-safe blade brake clutch system. This advanced design lets you stop the blade while keeping the engine running. You can empty the grass bag or cross hard surfaces without having to turn off and restart the engine. This saves time and reduces wear on internal components for a longer service life.
Durable Aluminium Cutter Deck
Cutting is handled by a 56cm (22-inch) aluminium cutter deck. Aluminium combines excellent strength with low weight and strong resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for daily professional use. A front bumper adds extra protection for the deck and wheels when working near obstacles.
Precise Height Control and Vari-Pitch™ Technology
Grass height is adjusted with an easy-to-use height-of-cut lever. You can choose from seven cutting heights, ranging from 13mm to 60mm. This gives flexibility across seasons and lawn types. Hayter’s Vari-Pitch™ cutting technology automatically alters the deck angle to increase airflow when cutting longer grass, improving lift and collection.
Exceptional Collection Performance
Grass collection is handled by a generously sized 70-litre grass bag, reducing the required number of stops during mowing. Collection efficiency is enhanced by a uniquely shaped deck underside and blade profile. These were developed using technology inspired by the aerospace industry. The result is very strong suction and clean pick-up, even in challenging conditions.
Professional Rear Roller for Clearly Defined Stripes
The Hayter Harrier 56 PRO lawnmower is fitted with a two-piece steel ribbed rear roller. This design improves traction and manoeuvrability while avoiding turf marking during turns. It produces crisp, classic ‘Hayter stripes’ with every pass. It also supports stable cutting along edges and slopes.
Simple Cleaning and Easy Maintenance
Cleaning is quick and straightforward thanks to the easy-wash hose connector port. This allows fast rinsing of the cutting chamber after use. To help you care for the machine, we sell a Hayter lawnmower cover and SAE 30 engine oil as optional extras.
Warranty You Can Rely On
The Harrier 56 PRO petrol lawnmower is supplied with an excellent two-year domestic warranty or two-year professional warranty. This reflects Hayter’s confidence in its build quality and reliability.
