Allett Buffalo 24 Cylinder Mower
The Allett Buffalo 24 is the go-to choice for grounds professionals, landscapers, and gardeners who demand versatility, reliability, and a first-class finish. With a 61cm (24") cutting width this very robust and well balanced mower is ideal for maintaining larger, high-profile areas such as public parks, and prestige lawns,—even in wet or demanding conditions.
Powered by the proven Honda GX160 engine (3.6kW / 4.8hp @ 3,600rpm), the Buffalo 24 delivers consistent, fuel-efficient performance with reduced noise and vibration—perfect for extended operation in noise-sensitive environments.
The 8-blade, large diameter cutting cylinder ensures an excellent cut quality across a range of grass types. The heavy weight of the mower ensures perfect and clearly defined light and dark stripes. Adjustable cutting heights (10mm–40mm) make it suitable for both ornamental turf and sports surfaces. The rubber-covered 2-piece rear roller with differential and a smooth aluminium front roller—provide excellent traction, striping, and surface protection with no wheel marks.
User comfort is built in, with an anti-vibration adjustable handlebar and smooth drive and cylinder engagement via handle-mounted levers. A large 90-litre moulded plastic grassbox with a steel reinforcing strip makes emptying quick and simple, even during long mowing sessions.

Brilliant for match days
We use this at our local football ground and it’s been a game changer. Makes light work of the pitch and leaves those proper stripes everyone loves. Easy enough to handle once you get used to it. Honestly can’t fault it so far.
