In today's video, I review the Hayter Hawk 36! If you've found today's video useful or if you've enjoyed it, feel free to give it a like or even subscribe!
I bought the hayter hawk 43 a couple of weeks ago after watching the first video and I absolutely love it, it's massive and has a good weight to it, fantastic build quality, beautiful cut, great stripes. 👌
I've just put an order in for a Hayter Hawk 43, got an amazing deal for it at only £349 incl 4ah battery and charger Would be great to have a 1yr review with regards to how the handles have held up, the blade wear, scuffs and scrapes etc.
@@charlieboyvespa8610 I couldn't find a better option for that price in terms of power, quality, battery capacity etc. plus the rear roller. I really like mine after a few days of having it. I bought mine from Garden Machines Ltd, it's the only place I can find with that deal currently.
Regarding battery life, I think you would be better off with two of the smaller batteries, rather than the one bigger one. That way there is always one charged ready to go and you don’t get half way through a cut and not be able to finish.
Ive just bought the 43cm version and i love it, ive had quite a few mowers including Allett, Hayter petrol and mountfield etc... and i have to say this overall is the best ive had overall. Stripes the lawn really nice, super easy to adjust the height and the vertical storage is brilliant when space is tight in the garage.
Have followed you for sometime now and purchased one of these which turned up yesterday and got it for a very good price. I used to have a petrol mountfield which was great but this is very good to, pleased so far with it.
Im over the moon with the hawk. The finish is top notch for a rotary mower. Regarding the grass box you can leave the handles in like a mid position so you dont have to reach through to take the box off. I managed to pick mine up for £499 ( including battery and charger) whilst the sale was on. Its very pricey but a brillant bit of kit.
Picked this up after your previous video. Used it yesterday for the first time and I'm very impressed. This new video echoes my experience as well. The only design flaw I found is the height adjustment, I'd have expected the simplicity of mapping 1 line = 10mm, 2 = 20mm, 3 = 30mm, etc. Not a big issue, I just need to adjust from mm to lines. But they fluffed that part or the instructions 😂 Overall, incredible lawn mower and great review video. Thanks for the recommendation and the content.
Cheers 🤣 I thought with it being quite a pricey mower that it would have quite precise information regarding the cutting heights! Nevertheless, it’s a cracking mower!
i just managed to pick up the bigger Hawk 43 with 4ah battery and charger new for £349 which was a deal i couldnt say no to, really looking forward to getting it in. ive just layed some new grass seed down last week so im going to have to be pacient and wait a few weeks before i can use it!
Looks like a really good quality ergonomic mower. Definitely will be my next mower that I purchase. I have a honda 426 hrx with a really heavy roller, but it is too heavy the grass grows laterally, so next time I cut the lawn it still has long grasses in, so I don't use it I use my cheap spear and jackson, which does do a better cut but stripes only last a few days. So I just cut it every three days.
Just ordered the 43 with battery and 4.0 amp charger for £329.00 (includes £20 voucher discount) from Mowers Online. A 36 would have been sufficient but the 43 was only £10 more, so a no brainer at that price.
Great Review and Channel fella. Have been watching your lawn videos and these have inspired me to buy this Mower and to up my lawn care a notch. Managed to buy the Hawk 36 in a kit with the 2.5 battery and charger for £479 from Mowers Online. I thought at that price even if I didnt like it (which I'm sure I will) I could sell on for pretty much the same due to the cracking deal. Thanks for the content #LFC
I bought this after watching your first video from seeing how well it cut and how good the stripes were! Im over the moon with it, i agree with all the points you mentioned its a great mower, i am curious, what height setting(s) do you typically cut on? Thanks in advance
I’ve been cutting on 3 and 4, but I’m sticking with 4 now just because of the weather we’re having at the moment. I’m praying for either rain or clouds!
The push one is really easy to use. If you've got a small space, you should be fine with it. The only downside would be the weight - it's quite heavy. But it's not a problem if everything is on the same level.
I think that cobra has really bad reviews mate. I was looking at getting one second hand and checked reviews and everyone was trashing it. Shame, because was a great price, £150 typically second hand.
@martinlogan8329 don't know I haven't got one, it's just another option. I used to watch broadmeadows lawn care on CZcams and it put good stripes in. 41 would be a bit too big for me I want a decent 36 size so will probably get the hayter. Stiga 43sr looks good aswell 550 quid.
@@stevo1970 ah fair doos, thanks I'll check it out. But yeh I'm leaning towards the hayter too. Enjoy the weekend mate. Utd in cup final and a bit of gardening... perfect weekend. 😀👍
Great review. I am going to buy the Toro 21836 which as far I can tell is identical to the hayter but without the rear roller and £150 cheaper. Not sure why 2 different manufacturers have the exact same mower - Is it made in China?
I've just had a look at the Toro mower. Almost identical! Very strange. The only difference (from first look anyway) are the two wheels at the back of the Toro mower.
@@NoviceGardener Toro apparently purchased Hayter in 2005. Actually suits me better not having the roller as I use a cylinder push mower with a roller to cut the grass down to 15mm. Bit of a bargain at £399 👍
Nice one! 👍🏻 I'm using the 4th, 3rd and 2nd all on different lawns. The ones that spend the most time in the sun are being cut slightly higher to help them with any potential heatwaves that we get.
Really useful video, had been considering this hayter for a while and have just bitten the bullet and ordered one. Just out of interest, what height settings have you used?
Cheers! 👍🏻 Honestly, I recon the Hayter Hawk range is worth the price. I've only used my Bosch once since getting the Hayter, and that was to scalp a lawn before renovating it!
@@NoviceGardener OK mate cheers,my garden is a little bigger than yours and it's on a slope as well,what you reckon is better for sloped garden,the 43 or the 36?
It depends. If your space is a fair bit bigger, definitely go for the bigger mower. But it will depend on how wide you want your stripes too. The larger one will get bigger stripes and will take less time to cut too.
I'm about to purchase a Hawk 36. Now you've had it for sometime, would yo u still recommend it? I know you mow on setting 3/4, is that still good? Thanks
I can't recommend it enough. Spot one! Use it constantly. Those settings are perfect for me. The lower cuts can look decent as well, just end up having to do more management on the lawn, but it's well worth it!
@@NoviceGardener Thank you for taking the time to reply! I will be ordering mine tomorrow. Great channel by the way and i appreciate the honest reviews.
@@NoviceGardener Should have agreed an affiliate link with the company before you reviewed the mower so you could get commission, they are laughing cause basically your a salesman working for £000, i bet they sold 100s from your review.
Thanks for this. Sick of reading niche blog reviews. Seen this for less than 400 and tempted, but know nothing about mowers, so video really helped.
👍 Thanks for your review. I took delivery of my new Hayter 36. 1st cut of the year and very impressed so far. Thanks again

Got this on my list for in a few weeks! That deal is ridiculous - done well there!
Would you say its the best cordless for £349
@NoviceGardener see below! Agreed an update would be good

@JMHMellors there's a toro on offer for £359 which is same family of mowers no rear roller but....free air blower via redemption

That’s a great shout. It may be something I’ll pick up next spring. I’ve spent a small fortune on equipment so far this year! 🤣

Try part folding the handle bars forward to remove the grass bag 👍

That’s the only thing with heavy mowers, they can sometimes make things slightly more difficult in the long term.
Outstanding review - very nice how you compared it to the Bosch - so detailed and very well narrated - excellent video

Nice video mate. I also have the Rotek but you`re very close to convincing me to treat myself to one of these.
Cheers!
It took me a few weeks of deliberating before I bit the bullet! 🤣
Which model rotek?

Hey how is this holding up for you and how is it on wet grass? Thanks.
It's boss! Best rotary mower I own!
Hi, i have a really small lawn, only at the back in a cottage, was thinking about the self powered model, or is the push one easy to use, many thanks
The push one is really easy to use. If you've got a small space, you should be fine with it. The only downside would be the weight - it's quite heavy. But it's not a problem if everything is on the same level.
Looks a good buy. Still thinking about the Cobra RM4140V.
I'm done with Bosch after this one falling apart etc.

Mount field empress 41 with rear roller, comes with 2 batteries!

Nice one! 👍🏻

Really useful video, had been considering this hayter for a while and have just bitten the bullet and ordered one. Just out of interest, what height settings have you used?
Nice one!
I have used 3 and 4, but I'm sticking with 4 for now with the amount of heat we're having at the moment.
How does the 2.5ah battery perform? How long is run time?
It's ok, but I'd much rather the 4ah. But the 2.5ah battery is enough to cut each of my small lawns 3 times before recharging.
Another great review,am thinking about getting the hayter hawk 43 60v,what do you reckon?
Cheers! 👍🏻

Anyone use the Hayter Harrier 41? Battery powered.
Does this cut up to the edges?
It gets quite close, but you still ned to get the strimmer out every couple of weeks just to tidy the edges.
@NoviceGardener cheers I have a hayter harrier i suppose it's like that
Lawn mowing in flip-flops?
It's the best way at this time of year! I still have all my toes... for now!
Scousers do everything in flip flops from my experience
Think you need to get commission on all these hayter hawks your selling haha how long do the stripes last on the lawn?
I wish! 🤣
They last a good few days I've found.
