Hayter Harrier 48 PRO - 48cm/19" Petrol Auto-Drive Mower (479C)

A rear roller lawnmower utilises a cylindrical roller, positioned at the rear of the mower (essentially these type of lawnmowers only have 2 front wheels), to create a striped effect on the lawn. As you gut the grass on your lawnmower, the roller gently rolls over the grass blades and moves them in the direction that you are mowing, this is what gives the effect of a striped lawn appearance.

This gives your lawn a professional and very pristine look. Additionally, the rear roller provides stability and prevents scalping, ensuring an even smooth cut and finish. When choosing a lawnmower with a rear roller, choose a machine that has a roller with some weight in it. Most rear roller lawnmowers are quite heavy, hence why they tend to be self-propelled.
