Allett 10 Blade Quick Change Cutting Cylinder
The QC cartridges have been replaced by RC versions. They are identical in size and function, with the only difference being added side brackets to support grassbag frames on newer models. These brackets can be removed with one screw each and replaced with rubber bungs to convert them back to QC.
Compatible with the following Mowers:
Classic
Liberty
Kensington
Made of hardened and ground steel the 10 bladed cylinder offers a super fine cut, which is sharp and clean. A clean-cut is less damaging to the grass plant and lessens the risk of disease forming. This cartridge is available as an optional extra and is ideal for the serious cylinder mower user requiring cutting heights below 20mm to achieve a bowling green finish (the 6 blade is your general purpose cutting cylinder for 20mm and above). You will need to be cutting regularly with this cartridge; at least twice a week.
The 10 blade cutting cylinder mows as low as 6mm with a higher clip rate (131 cpm) than that of the 6 blade cylinder (79cpm) resulting in a more uniform finish.
