Allett Buffalo 34 Cylinder Mower
The Allett Buffalo 34 is a premium, all-round turf management solution engineered to deliver a professional-grade finish across a wide range of grass types and mowing conditions — including damp or challenging environments where many mowers fall short.
With a generous 864mm (34-inch) working width, it’s ideal for maintaining large, high-profile areas such as sports pitches, prestige lawns, and public parks. This wider cutting span maximises coverage, reduces mowing time, and increases efficiency for groundskeepers and turf professionals alike.
At the heart of the Buffalo 34 is the dependable Honda GX160 petrol engine, delivering consistent performance while operating smoothly at lower speeds. This not only helps to minimise fuel consumption, vibration, and noise, but also ensures a quieter, more environmentally conscious mowing experience.
The machine offers an adjustable cutting height from 10mm to 40mm, paired with a high clip rate of 66 clips per metre, guaranteeing a clean, even cut regardless of forward speed. Whether you're managing fine turf or tackling longer grass, the Buffalo 34 ensures excellent results every time.
A durable 160L moulded grassbox, robust steel front and rear rollers, and a range of optional accessories — including a speed reduction kit and the TS100/1 trailing seat — make this mower incredibly adaptable to both intensive and routine turf care.
Built for comfort, performance, and reliability, the Buffalo 34 is the perfect balance of power and precision — making it a trusted choice for professionals who demand quality and consistency.

Clean stripes!
We use the Buffalo 34 for a private estate and the customer insists on perfect stripes — it never fails to deliver. Runs smooth, low on noise, and the grassbox holds plenty. The steel rollers really do make a difference to the finish.

Cuts amazing in the wet
The Buffalo 34 tackled our outfield after a week of rain and still gave a professional finish. The clip rate is spot on and no scalping even on uneven ground. It’s heavy, but that’s part of what makes it feel solid and reliable.

Perfect for football grounds
We’ve recently upgraded to the Buffalo 34 and it’s been a huge time-saver. The wide cutting deck makes quick work of our pitches, and the quality of the finish has impressed both players and visitors. The grassbox size is ideal for fewer interruptions.
