The Balmoral is undoubtedly one of the best petrol cylinder
lawnmowers on the market today. This superbly built machine
features a powerful engine and the revolutionary QX™ system.
The combination of advanced lawnmower technology and a number
of special features give the Balmoral an unbeatable cutting
performance. For longer grass, you can attach the supplied
side wheels which then elevate the mower to provide an effortless
cut. The spring tine comb also lifts the grass prior to
cutting to ensure an even cut, and a stainless steel front
roller and heavy steel rear roller produce those beautiful,
classic stripes that are the hallmark of an Atco lawn. Manoeuvrability
on the larger 17" and 20" models is further enhanced by
a split differential on the rear roller. Atco is an absolute
classic British lawnmower brand - if you wish to buy a cylinder
mower, then Atco is the very best you can buy. These are
the types of machines that will last generations if looked
after properly, and there are many mowers bought in the
1950s and 60s that are still going strong. If you wish to
create a lawn of putting green quality, with stripes, then
our Atco mowers with scrarifier attachment will enable you
to reach this sort of perfection. See also: Atco

add Sacrifier Cassette
This ‘Quick Exchange’ system allows
you to not only remove the blade cassette for re-grinding
or replacement purposes, but also to turn your lawnmower
into a powered rake by substituting the standard six-bladed
cassette with the QX™ Lawn Scarifier cassette accessory.
Also available is the 10 multi-bladed QX™ cassette to
ensure an even finer cut. The prices of the scarifer units
are as follows: 14" - £ 75.00,
17" - £ 95.00, 20"
- £ 120.00.
The Balmoral is controlled by a three-way drive facility
which allows the blades to be disengaged without stopping
the engine, convenient for emptying the grassbox and for
powered manoeuvres around the garden. Also, when mowing
in awkward corners or around trees, you can disengage
the drive for manual control. Features such as foam-cushioned
handles, a larger, more manageable throttle and micro-set
cutting height adjuster are all designed to make mowing
the lawn a positive pleasure. The Balmoral, available
in 14”, 17” and 20” cutting widths, comes with recoil
start.
Our "SK" models are fitted with the latest Kawasaki engine.

Atco - the world's best name in cylinder lawnmower
manufacture: Atco produced its first framed 22" petrol
powered lawnmowers in 1922. These heavy machines were sold
at £75 each by salesmen using a specially modified motor
cycle and sidecar combination. In 1935 a new steel chassis
was introduced to replace the cast iron version, reducing
weight significantly. During the war years the 100,000 sq.
ft. of floor space at the company's Birmingham site was
given over to munitions production. In the post war period
the Birmingham sites grew four-fold. Full time mower production
and servicing heralded the beginning of a 'boom' period
for domestic lawnmower manufacturers. In 1955 Atco received
its first Royal warrant, granted by Queen Elizabeth II for
Atco's tractors and lawnmowers. In 1964, the first Atco
Royale, which has since become a degin classic, was introduced.
In 1975, lawnmower production moved from the West Midlands
to the Stowmarket site of Suffolk Iron Foundry (1920) Ltd
(just down the road from our warehouse, in fact). In 1986,
a second Royal warrant by HRH Prince of Wales was added
to the portfolio. In 1996, Atco celebrated its 75th anniversary
and remains the leading cylinder mower manufacturer in the
world. more
