Dear Sir, I've been very satisfied with my Harrier 48... until last week! The blade brake clutch had broken down. For a mower with this reputation this should not have happened. The part is too thin (disk within the clutch with the balls) Hayter should reconsider the manufacture of this part. I've been so satisfied that I told all my friends to buy a Harrier but with this experience I also reconsider my recommendations! I hope this will help to review any purchase by new customers.

A good mower, but then it ought to be for the price! I have been using this mower for the past two years and it has been reliable so far. It seems to be built to last, and I have had no problems like the previous reviewer describes. I would say that it doesn't always cut as well as I had hoped, especially if the grass is not completely dry, and I admit that for the money I paid, I was expecting better.

I have had a string of Hayter mowers, and have worn out each before replacing. They have had very few problems .... until the Hayter Harrier 48 with its Blade Clutch. The Clutch literally broke in half at the end of the 1st grass cutting season, and was replcaed under the warranty. The second clutch has lasted 1 and a half seasons, and has just broken. I am hoping that it will be replaced under the 3 year warranty. This is not good enough. My mower cuts for two hours a week all season, and I am careful with my machinery. It is very difficult to engage the clutch completely smoothly, but I do my best. The disengagement mechanism is very abrupt - there is no choice in the matter, and I suggest that the build is simply not robust enough to take this type of strain each time you stop to empty the grassbox. I would be interested to see if any other people have had similar difficulties.
