Allen have chosen lightweight Honda 4-stroke engines for their hover mowers. Honda are among the world's most famous engine makers, and this product is easy to start, quiet and has low emissions. It has an overhead cam driven by a belt in oil and can cope with working at up to 45 degrees from the horizontal.
The mower itself has a generous length of handle to improve reach on slopes and under bushes. The steel bar blade has a conical attachment which allows easy removal for servicing and also prevents bolt shear should the blade hit solid objects. Height of cut is adjusted using a simple spacer system, with the added feature that the spacers stay on the machine to prevent loss.
