Ordered my Liberty 43 with the 10 Blade Reel, Vertimower, Dethatcher and Scarifier cartridges in October, still waiting for it to be delivered in Western Australia. Thanks for your video!
Ah man, you must be itching for it to arrive! Mine took ages too. Sadly that's just international shipping all over the place at the moment I think. Glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully you'll have yours soon enough 🤙
Jim Mahoney How do you like the Liberty ? after it arrived in Western Australia and what do you think of the cartridges you bought Would love to here your feed back . I'm in baldivis West Australia 🇦🇺 😎 Using the Kensington petrol reel mower Love it 😀
It's definitely a great option mate. I'm going to do a comparison between this one and their new bigger one, the Stirling, in a few weeks. I reckon the Liberty is still an excellent choice though. 👌
Definitely going to buy one of these! I was after a used Atco Balmoral or Allett Kensington, but I didn't want the hassle of petrol. We may be terrible at cricket here, but at least we make a good mower! 😅
Thanks mate. Good luck with the new one. I really like mine. It's not without it's smaller drawbacks (weight for example), but it is a great machine nonetheless. 👍
That is a gorgeous mower, I just love the fact Allet are the first to bring battery power to cylinder mowers. Hopefully see the other manufacturers especially ones like Mowmaster and Alroh that are Aussie made start producing battery powered units also.
@@thelionlawn I actually found it easier to control not using the drive system. Tends to get a little floaty and swirly on thick lawn. I got it down now. I just put a small video of my first time doing single double stripes on Thanksgiving day. Our season is over now. 😫
Yeah, I found that using the self-propell just to get it started out of the turn up the hill, and then push the rest was the more natural feel. I will check your videos!
Awesome vid man, looks like a great mower. I might have to get one in the future. My Couch lawn is sorta the same actually. I've got green couch, blue couch, wintergreen and tiftuf all mixed in the same lawn lol. But it still looks great
Thanks mate! I think having a singular type of grass is over-rated! 🤣. Not really, but what can you do. It's not the end of the world! As you say, it can still look great, and be a nice lawn. 👍
So far I'm really impressed with it. I have done 3 or 4 mows now, and it's brilliant. Will be doing a new video next week using the scarifier cartridge, and talking about the adjustment and battery life etc. 🤙
Hi mate, yes, you absolutely can use them on a Buffalo lawn. The renovation and maintenance of a buff lawn is different to Kikuyu, but they still look brilliant with a cylinder cut. 🤙
Your grass catcher should be level with lawn once on. Very common mistake with new owners including myself. Beautiful mower, mine dont look that nice now. 🤣. Your lawn looks great.
I bought the same mower in Spring 2021. I live in the UK and still getting used to it. I think my lawn needs levelling which is affecting the performance of it. I have always had a rotary mower before. Not sure how to level the lawn and whether it will make a difference. Great video.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm in the same boat, my lawn is lumpy and bumpy, so I'm not likely going to achieve the super flat, straight lines that some can get, but the cylinder cut is definitely a step up from the rotary! I tried to level mine during my renovation (some of the earlier videos) but you can see a huge hail storm washed all the new sand away before it got a chance to do anything 😒. Might try again at the start of next season, or just slowly chip away at the bigger divots over time. Good luck with yours, hopefully you can have a go at getting it level!! 🤙
Just caught up with your videos love the Allett mower I have mower envy. You mentioned sharpening the other cylinder mower, have you ever back lapped. I have a battery powered Ozito and the back lap works well.
Excellent video. I to have a big lawn and am of a similar build to yourself. I saw that you got a little puffy doing the side. Is that because the new unit is a lot heavier than the Ryobi? I find myself getting cramps occasionally. Carry a pickle juice just in case.
Hi Gordon, thanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The side yard is definitely where I feel the pinch, and yeah, the new unit is much heavier. I'd love to hear your recommendation for a high quality pickle juice that may assist with the thigh cramps? Is fresh squeezed pickle juice a thing?
This is my first time at your channel so I don't know what other work you've done to your lawn. That said, it seemed like the mower was rocking side to side lots. This could change the height of cut as you move along. That could explain the scalping in certain parts. The lawn might need a couple of rounds of scarifying and top dressing to get the most out of the mower? People with more experience than me might know better. Great video and best of luck.
You're going better than me. After the rain, an army worm attack and frankly a lack of effort mine looks like the surface of the moon. Going to be a busy spring later this year. Yours looked great after the spring tine vid. Cheers.
I have the liberty 43 for almost 2 years now. I love it but I have one major complaint. All the weight of the mower is on the left side due to the belts and drives and no big engine on top… because all the weight is on the left side of the mower it digs in harder on the left side and leaves you with an uneven cut. Super disappointed in that side of things. Other than that I love the mower, but this uneven finish is really driving me crazy
Hi mate - Yep I've noticed the uneven balance too. It's frustrating, and I'm trying to find a reasonable workaround for it. Would be handy to not have to worry about it though!
Hi mate, I'm not sure what the current price of it all is, considering the Allett Stirling has since been released, but ADE Turf in Victoria are the Australian supplier, so they should be able to give you a quote. 👍

Would love to here your feed back .
I'm in baldivis West Australia 🇦🇺 😎
Using the Kensington petrol reel mower
Love it 😀
That’s is an awesome mower I just bought myself an ozito cylinder to start with hopefully I’ll like it then do an upgrade thanks for the video
Excellent! I have a lot of mates with the Ozito and they love it. You'll no doubt get the bug and want to upgrade haha. Good luck with it mate. 👍
Thanks for the review mate, great looking mower. Might have to upgrade from the old trusty Ozito cylinder.
It's definitely a great option mate. I'm going to do a comparison between this one and their new bigger one, the Stirling, in a few weeks. I reckon the Liberty is still an excellent choice though. 👌
Definitely going to buy one of these! I was after a used Atco Balmoral or Allett Kensington, but I didn't want the hassle of petrol. We may be terrible at cricket here, but at least we make a good mower! 😅
🤣
Another Aussie to follow. You have a new sub from Striperman. Congrats on the new mower. I have one for a year now. Nice job on the video mate.
Thank you mate, and welcome!
Great video- Im in Sydney and about to order one of these for my Bermuda tiftuf
Thanks mate. Good luck with the new one. I really like mine. It's not without it's smaller drawbacks (weight for example), but it is a great machine nonetheless. 👍
The reel mower is going to transform your lawn with quality of cut there is no doubt.
100% better then a rotary cut.
That is a gorgeous mower, I just love the fact Allet are the first to bring battery power to cylinder mowers. Hopefully see the other manufacturers especially ones like Mowmaster and Alroh that are Aussie made start producing battery powered units also.
Definitely is a great looking mower! And I'm with you there, I hope more and more brands come on board with the battery powered gear at this level.
Congrats on the Liberty. Just got mine last spring.
Thanks mate! How do you find it? I am really impressed with it so far!
@@thelionlawn I actually found it easier to control not using the drive system. Tends to get a little floaty and swirly on thick lawn. I got it down now. I just put a small video of my first time doing single double stripes on Thanksgiving day. Our season is over now. 😫
@@thelionlawn I discovered you on Instagram from an Allett post.
Yeah, I found that using the self-propell just to get it started out of the turn up the hill, and then push the rest was the more natural feel. I will check your videos!

Keen to see what you think of the allet, I'm aiming to get my lawn up to cylander grade by next spring
So far I'm really impressed with it. I have done 3 or 4 mows now, and it's brilliant. Will be doing a new video next week using the scarifier cartridge, and talking about the adjustment and battery life etc. 🤙
Hi there I was wondering can you use these on buffalo grass ?? As your lawn looks amazing 👌👍
Hi mate, yes, you absolutely can use them on a Buffalo lawn. The renovation and maintenance of a buff lawn is different to Kikuyu, but they still look brilliant with a cylinder cut. 🤙
@@thelionlawn Cheers mate 👍
Love your spotted dog 🐕
That's my best mate Dexter, he's a knuckle-head. 🐶
Your grass catcher should be level with lawn once on. Very common mistake with new owners including myself. Beautiful mower, mine dont look that nice now. 🤣. Your lawn looks great.
Good tip, ta! I noticed it fit differently a couple of times throughout the day. Will have to make sure it's flat next time. 👍
Does it leave any drum markings on the grass like the other mowers with rear wheels
No mate, not that I've noticed. It obviously flattens the grass as it goes, but I've not noticed it making any particular marks either side etc

What type of grass do you have?
Hi Mate, my grass is Kikuyu 👍
Just caught up with your videos love the Allett mower I have mower envy. You mentioned sharpening the other cylinder mower, have you ever back lapped. I have a battery powered Ozito and the back lap works well.
Hi mate, no I haven't tried yet! It's on the list to give it a go for both the Ryobi and the Victa! I'm keen to have a crack at it.
Excellent video. I to have a big lawn and am of a similar build to yourself. I saw that you got a little puffy doing the side. Is that because the new unit is a lot heavier than the Ryobi? I find myself getting cramps occasionally. Carry a pickle juice just in case.

Hey mate, did you order this mower from allett directly or from mob in Australia ?
Hi mate, I ordered it from ADE Turf in Victoria, they are the Australian contact. 🤙
Do they sell the Liberty 43 in NZ?
I'm not sure if they have a dealer in NZ, mate. Check on their dealer locator to see what is nearby allett.co.uk/pages/global-dealer-locator

@@thelionlawn for sure. Just disappointed after spending so much money 💰 🤦♂️
Mate I think that trampoline could go in the corner and you could extend the lawn 😉
Haha! I just removed the lawn from there! New project coming soon transforming that whole area. 🤙
@@thelionlawn haha, well I'm looking forward to it. Great size backyard
How much for the unit?
Hi mate, I'm not sure what the current price of it all is, considering the Allett Stirling has since been released, but ADE Turf in Victoria are the Australian supplier, so they should be able to give you a quote. 👍
Chopped
Classic Damatian... (whinge)
your grass need better care
