The price alone is a big difference. The catch basket on the 51 is so more like we are used to seeing in North America. The 43 basket I have as an owner told Allett that they should offer a catch basket similar to the 51 as an accessory as this model has not changed in 6 years of production and it is outdated for our market since you know we have had these mesh catch baskets for years on gas mowers. They said it would take away from 51 sales which is silly.

Ya I hear ya. But the cost of everything is up and also the competition is up there in that price range too. Swardmans, toros, etc that give a really nice cut and have cartridge features.

The Sterling beats the Liberty in every category. I have the Sterling 51. For me it was worth the extra cost. I already had the ego batteries that came with the blower , trimmer and edger. The thing I like about Allett is they listen to their customers. They made all the changes to make the Sterling a fantastic mower.

The quick change cartridge on the Stirling is a game changer. The liberty or petrol Kingston quick change is a pain removing that side panel, yeah I know first world problems, but being able to change the blade to scarifier in a second with no tools, it's perfect 👌 Oh and the metric system is all over the world but you Americans with your inches blows my mind, did you know only 3 countries use it officially, United States, Liberia, and Myanmar, it's kinda funny lol I think its so much harder to understand although im hopeless with fractions, but I love it when Americans talk in 5ths and 8ths like it's nothing.

@TheNeighborDominator Жыл бұрын

Mine didn't seem to do it when i first got it either. To help fix it i created a weight to put on top the machine opposite side of where the gears and battery are. I put it in a box that had magnets and stuck it on there when i mowed. The 43 is not balanced properly. I thought it was thatch build up, taking to much off at once. It was not the case. I wonder if you got a grooved roller if it would help. I will try to find a video from a popular channel across the pond called perfect green. He fixed it!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMt9eMmkmdeXoKc.html Look at his allett. He has a weight on the opposite side. He also ended up getting a grooved roller.

That's great and all - but I feel like you didn't mention the biggest difference - Liberty costs half as much. $5000 for a residential reel mower is kinda insane. For all their slight upgrades I feel like their pricing is just trying to get the consumer to pay for their R&D on an already niche product. They should have put more effort into keeping costs to a level with an average consumer could even consider buying one. I have the Liberty and was only able to afford one due to extra cash from ebay flipping. And I'm upper middle class. Yes there are some things on the Stirling I would like but are they worth double? And also buying a new machine when I already have one? I feel like you probably got a good deal on the Allett due to your channel and otherwise probably wouldn't have purchased one right after the 43...

@TheNeighborDominator 2 жыл бұрын

Brian my man! Hope all is well. I will agree that it is definitely more pricey than the allett 43. But they are totally different machines. I feel they are more solid, faster, and an overall better machine. Is it worth the price...I could of definitely continued on happy with my Liberty and saved the money. I had reasons why I wanted this machine. 1. It cuts my mowing time down significantly. 2. I like the cartridge system better (which is expensive for both machines). 3. I had many offers on my machine so it cut the cost down significantly because of the price increase of the Liberty-43. With my videos on my tiny channel I was able to get a "discount" because people used my affiliate code to buy their Liberty-43 over the past 2 seasons. My channel is the skid mark of grass youtube! But is it worth it? Personal preference. The liberty gets the job done the same it's just slower. It was kind of like turning in a lease. That is why I pulled the trigger on this beast. I always appreciate your honest comments my friend!
