Hayter Hawk 43I am a Hayter fan and have had several models over the years and also bought Hayters for my family.Following heart surgery I had to part with my all singing all dancing petrol Hayter as it was too heavy to lug around the awkward bits of my garden. After a brief unhappy period with another make which was much lighter I went back to my happy place, Hayter. The Hawk 43 self drive seemed to be the right machine for me and was bought from Doe’s of Rochford.After nearly two years use I find the following:-There is no handle height adjustment, one size fits all, tall or short.The grass box is large capacity and has good hand holds but is a problem to empty as the wide mounting lugs either side trap the grass or grass/leaves mix and has to be helped out by hand even when “dry”. In order to remove the grass box easily the handle has to be released and swung forward. The height adjustment is probably the most awkward part as, although lowering can be achieved with one hand, raising it is a two-handed job on a quite heavy machine.The battery and charger are excellent pieces of kit and last very well.The machine is sturdy and well built as expected from Hayter and I anticipate many years of good service but am disappointed with the above “drawbacks” and cannot help thinking this is not 100% Hayter design.
