Atco is the trade name of lawn mower of Atlas Chain Company, a company formed in 1865 which made chains for ships. Atco was founded by Charles H Pugh in 1921. (Now owned by Global Garden Products Italy).
I have a webb 24 and an atco, they are such a joy to use, such fine british engineering! , my grass was one not suitable but after a lot of work I have it like a putting green!!
these mowers are usually left on the same height, it is for cutting fine grass for example criket bowling strips, and putting greens. They are amazing mowers.
Interesting! I went golfind recently and had to pause and just admire how rediculously short the grass was. It must have been 3mm tall grass. It makes sense that a reel mower would be used, as it scissor action cuts the grass rather than whipping it with a fast moving blade.
@MihiLibertas Id agree with you there I run 2 of these regularly and they both need carb work about 2 times per season even though they are kept to a very good standard and are run on clean fresh petrol! they should put hondas on them and they would be the ultimate
@1:50 the man is walking at normal pedestrian speed. Any idea why - whatever tuning i make - i have to RUN after this exact same machine?? unless I only partially engage the bale bar, but I guess this is not recommended at all (damaging the machine). Any idea welcome!
geez whiz i mow my lawn once a week and i have automatic irigation and my niegbours call me anal haha,i should get one of these that will really get em going :)
I saw that too but as someone else noticed the facial expression on the operator was one of surprise. He was going too fast during that pass and it allowed the machine to hop.

Crystal White he was a right proper moody geezer

What a beautiful piece of kit 👍🏻
I agree. The design is now owned by Allett and they've named it the Buckingham.
Great for well maintained yards. Not great for yards with sticks, rocks,bumps and holes. Damaging a blade is not a $25 replacement like most pushers.
@05clenharth
i'm thinking of the atco club or balmoral, but i wonder if it's too much hassle... seems quite particular these machines...
I wonder how one of those would do on thick St. Augustine grass.
Better on zoysia or Bermuda.
Are all the oil points for chains?
I would trade my Allett for this machine........:)
Got a brand new liberty's battery powered and the roller is stuck cant even free wheel the fecking thing AWFUL
Simply sensational
Plastic tank, plastic grassbox, plastic starter switch and surround....they sure don't make them like they used to!

What one in 2021 so bad. I have a picture of my dad on one in the 70s or 80s obviously not the same mower but same cylinder ride on
Great mower !!
Nice shoes 😂😂

Ransomes made the best reel mower
spettacolare
Can i have the Royale machine manufacturer mail id for communication.???
Holly shit.. 20 minutes preparation before mowing... What a joke...
No longer made in Birmingham though, I have two 1970 British ones.
Dudes face at 2:17
I see a washboard being cut in the grass. Not buying it now

Also though I think that Locke equipped machines might have an edge in that area.
That reel is junk takes all day just to set up. What a piece a crap
All them cheap plastic Chinese parts.
