- Description
If you're looking for an almost effort-free way to create a traditional striped finish on a smaller lawn, then this 41cm self-propelled roller model from Hayter could well be the machine for you.
It offers superb build-quality, with its rust-resistant aluminium cutter-deck, premium-quality components and long-lasting ball-bearing front wheels all contributing to an impressively lengthy service-life.
It's fitted with a full-width ribbed rear-roller that will leave a pronounced stripe, while at the same time allowing for stable edging; and it has a seven-step height-of-cut that's adjustable via a single lever; and which can be set right down to 13mm for a really close cut (front-mounted fins further enhance the quality of finish).
The Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Autodrive Rear-Roller Lawnmower employs a Briggs & Stratton 450E-Series engine; a powerful and ultra-reliable 125cc four-stroke unit with B & S's fuel-saving and emission-reducing OHV technology.
It has a smooth ABS plastic lining on the underside of the deck, so noise is reduced and bagging-efficiency is optimised; and it comes equipped with a large-capacity 55-litre grass-collector, which works to minimise downtime caused by trips to the compost-heap (the collector is made from fabric for space-saving storage).
Other noteworthy features include a friction disc, which stops the crankshaft bending in the unlikely event you strike a solid object; and an ergonomic full-width bail-bar, which provides a firm, positive grip and ensures you'll finish the job in comfort. - Features
- Autodrive system for effortless mowing without having to push
- Strong lightweight aluminium skeleton chassis for all key mounting points
- Front fins that noticeably improve the quality of cut and grass collection
- Full-width ribbed rear-roller for a striped finish
- Rubber-rimmed wheels with ball-bearing mounts for smooth operation and a long life
- Handlebars fold to save storage space
- Smooth, high-impact ABS plastic underdeck for improved collection-performance and reduced noise
- Seven height-of-cut settings controlled by a single counter-balanced lever for easy adjustment
- Comfortable full-width bail arm
- OPC (Operator Presence Control) for safe operation
- Briggs & Stratton OHV engine for guaranteed performance and reduced emissions
- Fabric grassbag can be lifted through the handlebars for easy emptying
- Friction-disc fitted for a lifetime guarantee against engine crankshaft bending

Champion of LawnmowersReview by John / (Posted on 22/03/2016)The build quality right out of the box is excellent. After mowing my grass twice at different heights this afternoon it looks superb. I've had other less expensive mowers before but this one's design and operation are far superior. Slightly difficult manoeuvring tight corners due to roller at back but stripes make up for this very slight weakness.
Buy this one and have a smile on your face every time you mow the lawn!Features

Easy to Use Rotary MowerReview by Mal Grant / (Posted on 29/09/2015)Easy start, but the auto cut-off when 'bar' released took a bit of getting used to. An option to 'fix' engine running would be an improvement.
Great easy height adjustment, and optional slow but steady rear wheel drive, makes it user friendly.Features

Review by Gordon / (Posted on 11/09/2015)
Great ProductReview by Gordon / (Posted on 11/09/2015)Ordered this lawnmower after trawling the internet for ages to try and find a machine with rear roller and powered drive. Machine arrived on time, which was a surprise after reading the terrible reviews of the courier used. We were lucky as I checked online and saw that we were to have a delivery at a certain time which our driver kept to,so relief all round.
I have only managed to cut one lawn out of three and the Hayter made a great job of it, with the only concern being that it is heavier to turn round than my old Flymo. But I will keep practicing and hopefully get into the swing of things. I am desperately waiting for my grass to grow as things are slowing down now in Scotland and I want to show off my new toy.
Getting back to MowDirect they were very nice to deal with and no one could fault the pre-delivery service and packing along with perfect ordering procedure. I suppose if the grass is taking it's time to grow I could always polish the beautiful bodywork of my new Hayter.Features

Review by David / (Posted on 12/08/2015)
Very GoodReview by David / (Posted on 12/08/2015)Bought this machine as a replacement for my old mower, which was a Mountfield. I had seen good reviews for the Hayter brand and decided to buy this one at a good price. Have used it a few times now and am very pleased with the performance compared with my old Mountfield.
Very easy to adjust the height with one lever and quite light to move around. This is a very stylish mower. The only assembly was the grass bag and that was a bit fiddly, taking about 20 minutes.
MowDirect sent out the mower when I asked them to and it arrived on the day I required. Very pleased with the overall service received and mower itself.Features

Good Value.Review by Graham / (Posted on 09/07/2015)Bought for daughter's garden. We had thought of buying a cheap, basic one. We then found this Hayter 'economy' range and there was no point in not going for this one. We have had a Harrier 48 since 1999 that has had one new blade and a new cord pull just renewed. Buy Hayter - you are buying a good mower.

Great Product and ServiceReview by lain Gilchrist / (Posted on 08/06/2015)Ordered late on a Sunday evening delivered less than 48 hours later. Very easy assembly, practically just add fuel (and oil), and you're off. Good, low cut and makes no mess to clean up after. Only issue is the weight, as we have to carry up and down some steps to the lawn.
Very happy with everything so far and would definitely recommend MowDirect .Features

A Good Little Mower
Review by DJA / (Posted on 06/05/2015)
A Good Little MowerReview by DJA / (Posted on 06/05/2015)Acquired the Hayter Sprint to replace an old Mcculloch mower that had fallen apart. Assembly is really easy. Just unfold the arms, assemble the bag, add oil, petrol and then start!
This mower is quite light and so its easy to move without the power drive. I was a little concerned that the basket size would be a problem but, whilst it's compact, it really does collect the grass very well and only needs to be emptied when its full.
On the downside, the mower does not create great stripes. The rear roller is plastic and light and so the stripes disappear quickly.Features

Slight Glitch but Matters Put Right Very Quickly
Review by Richard Wright / (Posted on 03/10/2014)
Slight Glitch but Matters Put Right Very QuicklyReview by Richard Wright / (Posted on 03/10/2014)Ordered a Hayter mower, on-line, at 09.30 Thursday, having previously checked it was in stock and expected it to be delivered the following day. Having waited in all day it didn't arrive and when I telephoned to check on progress was told that it 'didn't come in until late Thursday and still hadn't been sent'.
Having pointed out that I checked the stock level prior to placing the order, the lady I spoke to was most apologetic and promised to organise a special Saturday delivery free of charge (normal cost £25). It arrived at 10.00 on the Saturday, as promised.
Have only used the mower a couple of times, but it more than met my expectations. Appears to be an excellent product at an excellent price.
Sympathised with the lady I spoke to who, in fairness did everything within her power to put matters right and, in the end, provided excellent customer service.Features

Lovely Machine, Top Quality.Review by Alan G / (Posted on 25/04/2014)Arrived quickly, well packed. Easy to set-up, apart from grass basket which took a little bit more time and effort, but not too bad.
Started easily and is powerful in both travel and cut, not slowed by heavy grass. Has a tendency to pull you along as it is driven off the rear rollers.
I have had two mowers before this one and I would say that this is by far the best.

Excellent product and serviceReview by Dr Neil Cavanagh / (Posted on 08/04/2014)Took delivery about 4 hours ago. Had lunch, unpacked the mower and set about getting it ready.
Someone else mentioned needing about 20 mins to work out how to configure the grassbox - guess I'd agree, thats exactly what it took me. Hayter's instructions are as useful as a chocolate teapot.
However, the rest is a doddle! Oil, petrol and easy starting - all excellent. The cut was superb. I can't fault the machine nor MowDirect - both are highly recommended.

Once I used it found the grass bag only fills up 3/4 full before it needs emptying. It was easy to use especially with my garden which is on a slope. It also makes your lawn look great with the stripes.

Machine appears well built and cuts well.

So far so good
Review by Paul / (Posted on 02/07/2013)
So far so goodReview by Paul / (Posted on 02/07/2013)Having only had the mower a few days and actual use time limited to a couple of hours, this is a first impression review.
Order and delivery process was flawless, so I can't comment on the customer service of MowDirect if problems had been encountered.
The mower itself came well boxed and protected and was straight forward to assemble. As it is about 30kg's you could either do with 4 hands to lift it out of the box or just cut the box away from around it. The tricky part was actually fixing the grass bag to its metal frame. The clips are understandably firm and once attached aren't going to come off in any hurry. They are just a bit tricky to understand given the limited drawings in the manual. Having said that, it's about the worst thing I can say about it so far.
Performance has been very satisfying. The engine started very swiftly once the oil and fuel had been added. The height adjustment lever feels very sturdy and speed over the ground is at a leisurely strolling pace.
The rear roller does its job at striping the lawn well - I chose a medium length cut for my first run over the ground as it was due to be hot the week after cutting. The results were pleasing. The grass bag works well and is easy to handle.
Would I buy the same mower again from the same place? Yes.Features

My first concern would be the edges of the rod bolts touching or striking the cam lobes because of the larger stroke 383 crank. Hopefully one of these guys have done a similar build to iron the details out. |
I'm having my machinist double check everything - just to be safe (including clearances, valve-train geometry and piston-to-valve clearance). FWIW, the engine is coming out to investigate low compression on one cylinder - so it's a good time to make the change. There are about 1k miles on the setup right now. I just want to make sure this cam will pull pretty well down low. I also want to cruise at 1800 to 2000 RPM's - and I want the OD to work for this... Lunati assures me it will. I'm looking for some street experience to confirm. |
The reference for that cam = 3,000-7,000 rpms power range... Reference link: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w..._compatibility I am not for sure the 3.73's and 29" tires is going to help enough. Does this help any? |

Yes, it helps. Thanks so far guys.
Howards seems to be in the middle with lower lift and longer durations on their cams --- and Howards INSISTS that I use the 112 LSA. Comp, Lunati, and Crower all said 110 LSA. Howards suggest their 110245-12 cam: 224/230° @ 0.05" 280/292 Adv 0.501"/0.509" with 1.5 ratio 112/106 I currently have a 230/236 @.05" 274/286 adv .49/.49 hydraulic flat tappet. It does just fine cruising in OD at 1800 RPM's. It will accelerate mildly from there (no downshift for hills). I want a roller equivalent that is one step up from my current cam (XE274h). Suggestions? Last edited by Big Mouse; 07-21-2011 at 12:07 PM. Reason: I added more details to clarify my post... |
I am running that exact lunati cam in my 86 s10 but mine is a 350ci and I have no issues with mine but I don't have overdrive like you do so cruising down the highway at 55mph I am around 2500 rpm.
I am running 3:73 gears with a 3000/3500 stall and if I am in drive in town and I am under 2000 rpm the engine does not do very well so I just down shift to 2nd gear when I need to but highway wise that cam is killer with a good setup. I have very crisp instant throttle response and the torque is way awesome and with yours being a 383 it would be even more. As stated if your wanting to use the overdrive for highway you might want to go smaller on the cam. Mine does not like it under 2000 rpm very well and it will drive decent but not good. Hope that might help out in your decision you could go with the next smaller voodoo cam the 60111 it would be a really good cam as well. Guarantee there would not be a big drastic difference in horse power between the 60111 and 60112 cams but there would be a mild difference in how it would run in your combo. The other options you have look good as others have stated as well. Eric |
That is great feedback - thank you. I'm hoping the extra cubic inches will help me a bit. I'm also running a 4-hole spacer which may help boost the low end signal. Good stuff!
the 112 LSA will give you more vacume keeping the valves closed longer than a 110 LSA, so a 112 will have abit more low end torque for lower rpm crusing.. 110 still not bad but dont go lower than that, 109 and lower will be a little to much overlap and a little loss of compression as well

Bento #21 is a last minute creation that took on a life of its own. Most of it is straight from the freezer, then I heated it up in the microwave before lunch. It was really tasty! Here it is:
The bottom layer consists of fried rice and frozen corn. Hiding underneath the frozen Boca burger pattie is some BBQ sauce, yum! Veggies from the fried rice form the neck, and next to that, looking somewhat like a hand, is some fresh parsley. On the right and left of the pattie are cherry tomatoes. The face is drawn on with ketchup, mustard and a pickle.
And that was lunch!

: ) This is such an adorable bento! I'm sorry I've been away for a while so missed this when you first posted it. But this is just so cute.
I love the rice base on the bottom half and corn base on the top half too - very clever.
Pickle eyes are just the cutest though. M - October 22, 2007 at 9:44 PM

Why Today's Developers Might Be Programming Themselves Out of Tomorrow's Jobs
In late 2010, Apple approved 14-year-old Robert Nay's app, Bubble Ball, for publishing on the App Store, where it quickly racked up 2 million users and, for a short while, even wrested the ever-popular Angry Birds from its perch at the top of the download charts. It's a staggering achievement for a young teen with no formal programming experience -– never mind education. No skills. Nada. Zip.
Nay used an application called Corona that essentially allows users to build smartphone apps using a graphical interface, eliminating the need of any coding skills. He's a pioneering user of the next generation of platform dependencies — innovations upon which further innovations can be built.
The term "platform dependency," referring to products and services that are symbiotic with an existing platform (FarmVille on Facebook, Tweetdeck on Twitter, Rapportive on Gmail, and so on), has been discussed at length in several recent blog posts that weigh its dangers and opportunities.
While these relationships are not unique to "our" industry, the heady pace of evolution in the information sector, modeled with equal parts idealism and fantasy, is pointing toward some fascinating outcomes. The most fascinating of these is also the most paradoxical: The smartest kids are coding themselves into unemployment.
Before I'm viciously indicted with committing the Luddite fallacy, give me a chance to qualify: Smart kids code platforms that are making it increasingly redundant to know how to code — look at Nay for instance. As such, coding as a skill is becoming a casualty of efficiency, which is a beautiful thing. Coding is a means to an end, and if new methods are developed that enable us normal folks to achieve comparable results, then that's a win in my book.
To a certain extent this is already happening, albeit to a less romantic degree. Take Google App Engine for instance. Instead of needing to set up whole server infrastructures, you just upload a simple web app and Google handles everything else, from load-balancing to scaling. Many companies don't even go that far. A Facebook Page, with its built-in tools to distribute content, advertise, promote and engage with an audience, is often all you need.
Beyond the purely technical realm, services and layers are appearing to make aesthetic skills more and more redundant as well. Enterprise software company Cloudera used 99designs, which recently scored $25 million in funding, to crowdsource its logo on the cheap. And apps like Instagram and Retro Camera that allow users with little "skill" to take brilliant photographs.
Eventually, you won't need to have any technical knowledge in a world increasingly defined by technology.
Rather, the only thing you will need to have is an idea, and having good ones will be the only meaningful thing setting you apart from others. I like to think of it as the triumph of creativity over learned skill — a change that some believe has ramifications for formal education as well.
The only remaining question is: Where are your ideas going to bubble up from?

NBA Ace On Talent Scouting Mission
Sudanese-American National Basketball Association (NBA) scout and Harlem Globetrotters player 6.9 feet Deng Malual is in the country to recruit Kenyan players for the U.S. league.
Successful Kenyan players, including others recruited from the entire east African region, will be on a full basketball scholarship, during their tenure in the United States of America.
Speaking to the East African Standard at the Stanley hotel on Monday, Malual, who had a stint with NBA basketball team Cleveland Cavaliers in 1998, said he has been in Kenya for the last two weeks to lay out initial logistics and carry out the recruitment.
"I was recruited for this assignment by former NBA player Jerrod Mustaf as a basketball scout for the east African region. The region covers Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eriteria and Djibouti," he said.
"Mustaf, who played alongside Sudanese player Manut Bol in the NBA, is very keen about the east African region programme. West Africa already has a Senegalese scout, who has recruited 12 African players into the NBA," he added.
He said presently the region has very few basketball players in the NBA circuit, apart from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) NBA's Philadelphia player Dikimbe Matombo.
Malual, who is currently the Washington-based Lutheran Social Services Employment Advocate, said he is responsible for recruitment of most youth within the metro area of Washington, Maryland and Virginia.
The former basketball coach, who weighs 285 pounds, said the East African recruitment exercise will involve recruiting successful players on scholarship to several American universities Miami, Maryland, Wayland, Norfolk State, Colombia, among others, including high schools.
He said, while in the America, recruited players will initially be introduced to the NBA's minor feeder league Continental Basketball Association (CBA), before joining the former derby.
"This recruitment programme in the U.S is being carried out by a group called Street Basketball Association (SBA). The same group will be responsible for Kenya and neighbouring countries," Malual said.
The towering Malual said so far he has been attending practising sessions by Sudan's Imatong Buffaloes Basketball Club, currently training at YMCA Shauri Moyo, for the East and Central Club Championship, slated for Nairobi, from July 14-20.
At the same time, Malual disclosed plans by a US-based Christian organisation Prosecution Project Foundation (PPF) to build a basketball academy in Southern Sudan, to serve the east African region.
Malual, who was last week in South Sudan accompanied by PPF officials to distribute SBA basketball T-shirts and relief food, flew out of the country for U.S last night, through Uganda's Entebbe airport.

New store inventory management
Following on from the "buyout button" poll, and if Takkaria is willing, I am keen to fix the store-scumming problem now, rather than see a buyout button implemented and have the problem continue.
I think, from reading the thread, that everybody agrees that if a store is ever going to stock something, it should be available. The buyout campaigners want to do this by buyouts, and the anti-buyout crowd would prefer to see some other mechanism for setting the price of the desired item. So there are two issues here: which items should be available (ever), and how should we determine their prices. I'm happy to hear views on the former, but to be honest I have no real problems with the items which are currently stocked. The BM is obviously excluded from this entire discussion - it's up to Takkaria if he wants to remove it, but I'm not planning on touching it. So we're left with discussing the prices. Each item has a base price, which (for consumables) is fixed in object.txt - I'm not planning to change these. The discussion needs to focus on how prices for consumables escalate when they're restocked. My plan is to create a "market prices" array, so that the "current" store price of every consumable can be tracked separately from the base price. This means messing with savefiles, if Takkaria will allow that. (Another way to do it is to add a market price element to the object kind structure, but it amounts to the same thing.) My assumption is that the price increase of each item will be roughly proportional to its base price. But some things are much more commonly required than others (I'm thinking ?phase and !CSW, not to mention ?WoR and ammo) - perhaps these should not escalate at all, like at the moment? Other things (like ?enchant) should definitely escalate - perhaps as much as 50% of the base value each time the stock runs out. I don't want to track how many of each item have been purchased (means yet more savefile bloat), but we might need to tone down the randomness of amounts - currently you can find 1 !CSW or you can find 79. We might need to agree small variances around fixed figures, so that prices escalate after roughly constant purchase numbers. For things like ?phase this would be quite a large number (30? 50?) and for things like ?+dam it would be a lot smaller (5? 10?). Sorry if that's a bit rambling, but keen to know if people would be interested in this, or if we'd rather carry on arguing about a buyout button. EDIT: sorry, finished that in a bit of a hurry. I meant to say that the price increase should be random *up to* something like half base price, and also that there should be a possible random reduction to represent other sellers, new products etc. So the actual market price adjustment on restock should be something like: market price = old price + randint1(base price * 2 / 3) - randint0(base price * 1 / 3) .... that would give an average increment of 1/6 base, with the possibility of up to two thirds, or up to 1/3 reduction. That should prevent prices of desirable items spiralling out of control, but would need testing to ensure that it's not too generous for ?+dam etc. Then of course one could add a small (one_in_(whatever)) chance that the price drops dramatically - maybe all the way back to base - some sort of 'price reset' mechanism. This may appease those who cling to the fact that buying out stores doesn't currently increase the actual item prices ... Last edited by Magnate; June 7, 2009 at 13:56. |

Everything seems pretty sensible. Have a few questions to throw out there, though.
1. Are all items currently capable of being generated always guaranteed? 2. If so, will there be room for everything + reasonable space for selling to stores? 3. Is it feasible to have no town source of endgame consumables w/ current dungeon generation? 4. Should BM-only, but non-endgame consumables be put on sale at a high premium at regular stores? (?tele, ?telLevel, &c) 5. Should the Armory and Weaponsmith simply be replaced by good starting equip?

I don't think these changes belong in V for the first attempt. Angband is fun because it's not predictable (or fair). I don't see why making it more predictable is likely to make it more fun.

But the whole point of having a town is that it's more predictable than the dungeon. Just how predictable you want it to be is a matter of taste, I suppose. Even store restocking boils down to a measure designed to add a greater measure of predictability.

Sounds a little like simulated supply and demand, something I've suggested before. Maybe supply isn't involved, but the more you buy, the more it costs, which is the important bit.
A little off topic: Is there any chance of decreasing sale price of items, making it dependent on CL, and in exchange, increase the size of gold deposits/drops/finds in the dungeon. I'm looking for less gold from selling and more gold from actually finding it and killing stuff.

Teleport Level was too rare for a while, after the change in black market depth. The addition of Deep Descent has mostly fixed it. You really shouldn't need more than a dozen or two escapes in a game.

Well, you teleport much more than I do, but fair enough for spellbooks and _dEvil.

Friday Cat Blogging - 26 September 2008
FRIDAY CATBLOGGING....Good news: the debate is back on! Hooray! As you can tell, Domino and Inkblot are almost rapt already. They desperately want to know the candidates' plans for bailing out the cat food industry and preventing mass feline panic. The other good news is that it means our bingo card drinking game is once again the must-have accompaniment for your evening. Click the link, download a card, and have a drink anytime one of the candidates repeats a phrase in one of the squares. And while you're there, donate a few dollars to help Mother Jones continue to produce great progressive journalism. The drunker you get, the more money you should donate!
I'll be liveblogging the debate, of course assuming my brain hasn't turned into tapioca by then so come on back and follow along. I'm hoping McCain staggers on stage in a rumpled, ill-fitting suit with mismatched socks just to show how hard at work he's been trying to save our nation's economy. "Didn't have time to change," he'll blurt out melodramatically, and Jim Lehrer will nod along knowingly. Or something.
Finally, in other cat news, you'll be glad to hear that after years of negotiations with the USDA, Ernest Hemingway's six-toed cats are once again safe from evil government bureaucrats. "The cats have been living on the grounds for years, and we're not a zoo, carnival or amusement park," said the president of the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in the Florida Keys. And that's exactly where they'll stay.

Kindle 2: Linux eBook from Amazon
Kindle eBooks have been around since the '90's, and although sales are still uncertain, Amazon has now upped the ante by not only releasing version 2, but also publishing parts of the Linux source code.
Linuxdevices.com has taken a closer look at the device. First of all, it looks good and is thinner than Kindle 1.While the display hasn't changed that much, the device now has 16 gray shades which help greatly with contrast adjustment. Pages turn 20% faster and thanks to the new user interface, turning the page, making notes and skipping pages has become a lot easier.
The SoC (System on Chip) is a Freescale I.MX31 processor, based on ARM11 architecture with a 532 MHz tact. Kindle 2 has 32 MByte RAM and 2 GByte memory with 1.4 available to the user. Large enough for 1.500 books, says Amazon. The original SD slot of its predecessor has been replaced by a mini USB 2.0 port and a 3.5 mm audio line-out has been added. Improved battery performance should keep the device running for four to five days.
Presently aimed exclusively at the US market, Kindle 2 will cost 360 USD, with downloads available via the 3G wireless Whispernet.
Source Code:
The source code for Kindle 2 can be downloaded here. The 138 MByte TAR.GZ archive contains a U-Boot 2.6.22 Linux kernel, Alsa, Busybox, Powertop, Gstreamer, Bootchart and other popular open-source programs. Developers are calling attention to the short boot-time and energy saving functions of the device. More information on Kindle 2 can be found here.

- the tests now load the extension just built, instead of the one installed
- adds a gemspec file, that replaces the old Rakefile, to build the gem
- Rakefile is now used for running the tests, passing the name of the database to test against as a task argument
- when installing the gem a warning is printed if INFORMIXDIR is not set and exits, instead of trying to guess and failing miserably
