Allett Tournament 20 Cylinder Mower
The Tournament 20 is a precision-engineered turf mower designed to meet the highest standards for maintaining cricket wickets, golf greens and bowling greens. Its advanced features ensure a consistent, true finish with optimal speed and ball run making it ideal for sports that demand precise turf conditions.
Equipped with a Honda GX120 engine that delivers a power output of 2.6 kW (3.5 hp) at 3,600 rpm, the Tournament operates efficiently at low engine speeds, providing low fuel consumption, reduced noise levels, and minimal vibration. This makes the mower a pleasure to use, even for extended periods.
The 51cm (20”) cutting width combined with the 120mm (4.7”) diameter cutting cylinder, ensures an exceptional cut with 217 cuts per metre. Its 10-blade cutting cylinder works in harmony with the integral powered turf groomer, which uses closely spaced vertical blades to lift lateral grasses and runners in front of the cylinder. This results in a uniform, level finish, ideal for maintaining the smooth, even surface required in high-performance sports.
The grooming reel with 45 blades spaced at 10mm intervals further enhances the finish by setting the groomer 2-3mm below the height of cut (HOC) helping to create a firm and consistent playing surface.
The cutting height is adjustable between 2.4mm and 19mm, allowing for precise control of the turf's length to suit specific requirements. The handle-mounted engagement levers provide smooth control for both the cutting cylinder and drive, while the two-piece steel rear roller with a bevel gear differential ensures exceptional manoeuvrability and smooth turns. The front roller is made of grooved aluminium, featuring a scraper and sealed end bearings for enhanced durability and performance.
With a 32L grassbox that is both lightweight and durable, along with optional extras like pneumatic transport wheels, the Tournament is designed for ease of use and maintenance. The mower's robust build is complemented by anti-vibration handlebars, ensuring comfort during operation.
Whether you're maintaining professional sports fields or private clubs the Tournament combines precision engineering, efficient operation and ease of use in a single, powerful package. With a 24-month warranty for sports users (48 months for home users), you can trust that the Tournament will deliver top-quality results for years to come.
