THE WIDEST WALK-BEHIND CYLINDER MOWER IN THE WORLD
Allett Regal 42 Cylinder Mower
The Allett Regal is widely regarded by groundsmen worldwide as the ultimate large-area, dedicated cylinder mower — purpose-built for maintaining cricket pitches, sports grounds, parks, and other expansive grass surfaces. Celebrated for its exceptional build quality, high work rate, and refined ease of operation, the Regal delivers precision and performance on every pass. At its heart is a high-specification Eaton Model 11 hydrostatic transmission, offering infinitely variable forward and reverse speeds along with an adjustable clip rate (cuts per metre) to suit varying turf conditions. This is paired with power steering and independent braking, ensuring unmatched manoeuvrability and control, even in confined areas.
With a cutting width of 1,067 mm (42″) and a 159 mm (6.25″) diameter, 6-blade cutting cylinder fitted with greaseable bearings, the Regal is capable of producing a perfectly even cut across wide expanses in minimal time. Its Honda GX340 11 hp petrol engine delivers a net output of 8 kW (10.7 hp) at 3,600 rpm, supplying ample torque for both the cutting unit and drive system. The mower starts via a reliable recoil mechanism, while the infinitely variable hydrostatic drive allows seamless adjustment of mowing speed without sacrificing cut quality.
The Regal is also fully compatible with the AutoSteer trailing seat, transforming it into a high-productivity precision mower capable of producing sharp, professional-grade stripes. Both the mower’s three-piece rubber-covered steel rear roller and the optional trailing seat roller are engineered for excellent traction and quiet operation, even over hard surfaces. Internally, the rear roller houses hardened steel spur-gear differentials running in a sealed oil bath for long service life. Combined with easy-access height and cutter adjustments, the Regal delivers an unrivalled, uniform finish on professional sports surfaces and large lawns alike — all backed by a robust two-year warranty on parts and labour.

Power Steering with Independent Brakes
The Allett Regal 42 features power steering with independent braking, giving operators exceptional control and manoeuvrability—especially on turns and tight areas.
