Hayter Harrier 48 Autodrive VS Electric Start Petrol Mower

For homeowners who want powerful, controlled mowing without the strain of heavy pushing or stubborn pull starts, the Hayter Harrier 48 Autodrive VS Electric Start petrol lawnmower delivers dependable performance at the push of a button.

If you’re maintaining a lawn up to around 500 square metres, effort becomes the main barrier to keeping it consistently tidy. Heavy push mowers drain energy quickly, especially on longer sessions. The Hayter Harrier 48 Autodrive VS Electric Start petrol mower removes that resistance by driving itself forward, so the work stays controlled rather than exhausting. Variable speed control lets the movement match your natural walking pace instead of forcing you to adapt to the machine. That reduces fatigue, keeps the cut more consistent, and makes longer mowing sessions feel manageable rather than punishing.

Built to solve starting, stalling and poor collection problems

Manual pull starts remain one of the most frustrating parts of petrol mower ownership. The ES InStart electric ignition removes that problem entirely with consistent push-button starting every time, and the battery and charger are included, so there’s no extra cost or setup uncertainty. The Briggs & Stratton petrol engine is built to maintain steady torque as grass thickens, preventing the stalling and drop-off in cut quality that often appear mid-season. Vari-Pitch cutting technology improves airflow beneath the deck so grass lifts cleanly before cutting, which directly improves collection and prevents clumping in damp or fast-growing conditions.

Designed for long-term reliability and practical ownership

Long-term ownership confidence is built into the structure of the Hayter Harrier 48 Autodrive VS ES InStart. The aluminium cutter deck resists corrosion and impact damage that commonly shorten the lifespan of steel alternatives. The split rear roller prevents surface scuffing during turns, protecting lawn edges where wheeled mowers often cause visible damage. Cleaning effort is reduced through the integrated wash port, allowing grass residue to be rinsed from the underside without tilting the mower. Fold-down handlebars reduce the overall storage footprint, making everyday ownership simpler for sheds and garages with limited space.
