Designed for keen home gardeners with medium to large lawns, the Kensington Petrol Garden Mower is the ultimate cartridge machine in the Allett Homeowner Range. It is one of our most popular cylinder mowers and takes all the cartridges in the Allett range allowing for a range of lawn-care tasks using just one machine. The Kensington 17k has a number of special features giving it an unbeatablecutting performance.
The spring tine comb attached to the Kensington 17k lifts the grass prior to cutting to ensure an even cut, and a good steel front roller and heavy steel rear roller help produce those beautiful, classic stripes that are the hallmark of an Allett lawn. Equipped with a six-bladed precision cutting cylinder delivering 79 cuts per metre, the Kensington 17k has a 17 (43cm) cut. It also features an infinitely variable micro cutting height adjustment from ¼ to 1 ¼ inch (6mm-32mm).
