Allett Tournament 24 Cylinder Mower
The Tournament 24 is a precision-engineered turf mower built to meet the highest standards for maintaining cricket wickets, golf greens, and bowling greens. Designed for sports where a consistent, true finish is essential, it delivers optimal ball roll and surface uniformity across every pass.
Powered by a reliable Honda GX160 engine, the Tournament operates efficiently at low engine speeds—resulting in reduced fuel consumption, lower noise levels, and minimal vibration. This ensures a smooth, comfortable user experience, even during extended periods of operation.
The mower features a 610mm (24") cutting width and a 120mm (4.7") diameter, 10-blade cutting cylinder, delivering an impressive 217 cuts per metre. Working in tandem with an integrated powered turf groomer, the machine lifts lateral grasses and runners with precision vertical blades positioned just ahead of the cylinder—producing a cleaner, more level finish essential for high-performance turf.
The grooming reel, fitted with 45 blades spaced at 10mm intervals, can be set 2–3mm below the height of cut (HOC). This aggressive grooming action helps create a firmer, more consistent playing surface by removing surface debris and reducing thatch buildup.
Cutting height is fully adjustable from 2.4mm to 19mm, allowing groundskeepers to fine-tune turf length to exacting requirements. Handle-mounted engagement levers provide responsive control of both the cutting cylinder and the drive system, while the two-piece steel rear roller with bevel gear differential ensures tight, smooth turns with minimal turf disturbance. The grooved aluminium front roller, equipped with a scraper and sealed end bearings, enhances durability and helps maintain clean, sharp lines.
The Tournament comes with a lightweight yet durable 39L grass box and is compatible with optional accessories such as pneumatic transport wheels for added convenience. Anti-vibration handlebars reduce operator fatigue, promoting comfort and control throughout operation.
Whether used on elite sports grounds or private clubs, the Tournament 24 blends precision, performance, and ease of use in a robust, professional-grade package. Backed by a 24-month warranty for sports users and an extended 48-month warranty for homeowners, it’s a mower you can rely on for exceptional results season after season.
