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

Exchange’ system allows you to not only remove the blade
cassette for re-grinding or replacement purposes, but

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" - £ 79.00,
17" - £ 95.00, 20" - £ 115.00.

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 and with recoil or
key start (17SE Only) options.
The difference between "S" and "SK" models is the engine
manufacturer. "S" (and SE) models use Tecumseh engines,
while the "SK" models are fitted with the latest Kawasaki
engine. Both engines are made by large reputable manufacturers, so spare part availability throughout the lifetime of your mower is assured.

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
