Allett Stirling 51: The REVIEW YOU NEED TO WATCH!!
Many thanks to Allett Mowers and ADETurf.com.au (who distribute Allett Mowers in Australia) for organising the lend of this wonderful Allett Stirling 51.
Massive thanks to Craig Radloff (On Insta @radmanlawncare) go check him out..
Although it is late Autumn in Australia and the lawns are generally dormant, I tried to give you the best representation of what owning the Allett Stirling would look like for you by using 4 different grass types which are all warm season grasses with varying lawn and surface condition, and also with different people with and without cylinder mower experience.
1. Santa Ana Couch (Bermuda) - my front yard
2. TifTuf Couch - my backyard (yard is very sloped)
3. Sir Walter Buffalo (St Augustine) - an average Aussie backyard with high traffic
4. Kikuyu - the roughie of the lot and a bit bitten by the cold weather
Generally, the better the lawn and surface condition, the better results this mower will produce. Both subjects using the mower picked up the motion and controls quickly and thought it to be comfortable.

Great video Matt! Lawns looking fantastic 👌
Thanks Lads!
Great vid Matt & Heidi. Looks like a great domestic mower for the average punter. Love the ease of changing cylinders. Now on my bucket list! Further the capacity to to remove the reel for professional sharpening during winter is appealing.
Thanks 👍 They're going to go very well with this model.
i want one of these so bad i reckon they are just perfect. its a shame they are sooo pricey though
I get it mate.
Nice edit Matt, good work 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
Wow, what a great piece of kit!
Certainly is. Sorry to see it go.
great channel thanks for the reviews, I want to look into a new reel mower I really like your content
Cheers mate
Some of those cartridge attachments are super impressive.
So good.
Oh this is dream mower, on top wish list if I had the funds
Yeah it’s pretty good
My goodness that is a nice next gen reel mower. Allett has to be making the best homeowner reels on the market especially with the cartridge system, such a simple and useful idea. Thank goodness there are tons and tons of Greensmasters around for those of us of more modest means!
Great stuff.
My neighbor has a kensington and I have/ had a Buffalo 27 and they are all super quiet compared to other engines. I sold my Buffalo do to an unrelated injury and now am buying a slightly used stirling, I’m a bit nervous but I think the kensington is a fantastic mower and looking forward to seeing how stirling does, I’m concerned about grass catcher falling apart and have heard about hard lining issues. Will see
You’ll love the Sterling. Great unit.
Loving it so far, ordering the aerator tomorrow in the USA, concerned about it being non powered and if Stirling has the weight to do anything. Love your site and want to order some merchandise swag, I need that hat haha
Allett should be grateful for this video because their cartridge demonstration videos don't clearly show the True Capabilities of their cartridges. Thank U Lawn Porn.....
Cheers mate! Yeah I really tried to make it the best possible vid.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
With a Max 50mm HOC for the Allett Stirling for my Palmetto, which cartridge would best suit the Palmetto spring Reno? Aerator, verticut, scarifier, or de-thatcher?
I reckon the dethatcher would do well for a reno and leave enough plant for RE growth.
Could I use something like this on my rye at 50mm ? Liking the idea of the cartridges for thach as well
Totally suitable for rye. 👍
Good review Matt very nice looking cylinder mower easy to change cartridges out battery powered mowers have come a long way even zero turn mowers are coming out with lithium power 👍
Thanks mate. Yes have a Z turn battery coming in next month.

I'm so keen for an electric cylinder but i do worry about how it will age long term. Petrol mowers can always have engines repaired or even replaced pretty easily but what's the options like when the battery systems start to age? What happens for example if EGO stop making this battery in this form factor or stop making it all together?
I suppose the money you save in maintenance for a petrol will offset the cost of buying a new electric mower in 10 years... Just more e-waste i guess.
Hard to say what the long term deal will be like. Don't have that crystal ball but Ego is one of the bigger battery systems so to speak. If they all fell over I'm guessing someone would uptake the battery form to offer replacements.?
I would love one of these but cant justifi the price and also the size of my garden to warrant getting one lol
It’s nice to have such dreams. Think of it nicely and positively. Don’t let the dream get you down because you don’t have it now.
I remember a time when my family didn’t even have a home and things seemed hopeless.
I remember very well when we got a place. It became a home and I felt very lucky.
I have the Swardman, kind of wish this mower came out a year earlier and I may have bought this instead. The price tag is a bit steep, about $1000 more than the Swardman and need to buy the battery system separate, which is about another $1000. It's hard to say if this mower is $2000 better than the Swardman, and I'm someone that has been slightly disappointed with the Swardman, but $2000 is a lot of money for comparable products.
I had the Swordsman as. well and that was good for a while. I speak to the designer quite regular. I feel the Allett is leaps ahead at the moment. this is a great product.
When the Swardman debuted I had immediate concerns about its battery due to its internal mounting and the difficulty entailed if it needs to be changed out. It also eliminates the possibility of swapping out a second battery if you’re cutting a large property or were working on a big project and run out of battery charge. The Allett Liberty uses a universal design in its battery by Greenworks and the Sterling model uses the EGO system so extra batteries are relatively affordable and can be charged while running with the other. When the Swardman needs to be charged I believe that it has to be parked in place until it’s charged.
I wanted a Stirling but with all the reels it's $8800 the swardman decked out in electric is like $5400
great video, one thing missed which i was wondering ... can you back lap it?
Yes, you can backlap the Cutting Cylinders by using a Drill 👌
Yep you can backlap. Sorry I didn’t mention.
Hi Matt, I've pre ordered the Stirling with AdeTurf & was considering also getting the dethatcher cartridge albeit I'd dethatching Sir Walter Buffalo with it. Noting you used the dethatcher on your Tif Tuf do you think it'll also go ok on Sir Walter ?
Cheers Jase
Sunny Coast, QLD
Hey Jase, cheers for this message. I think the dethatcher cartridge would be great for buffalo because there’s enough gap between the cutting lines to leave some plant matter and green leaf. A second pass at 90 degree would be just spot on too and lead to a very consistent start to a post Reno lawn for growing season.
Thanks Matt for that... really appreciate your advice 👍
Looks nice but hasn’t swardman been out with interchangeable cartridges for awhile now? Is there anything the stirling does that swardman does not?
They have but the Allett ‘Atco’ models have been around a while longer with the same functionality and in a few areas those older alletts are better than the Swardman imo.
This Stirling really ups the game. I love that you can use the battery on the Ego tools.
I only wish there was a true grooming cartridge like the Swardman one that has recently been released.
Maybe put $6000 in the title. I personally am not that much of a grass fanatic but the video is great? Nice lawn.
Yeah she is a pricey unit
Hi Matt, do you think the price point between the Sterling and the Liberty is worth the money?
I think so. Better frame most importantly. More power for cultivations. Better handle. Ultra Change.
I haven’t used a Liberty but have the Kensington. On a rushed day the time and effort to change a cartridge has sometimes detected me from doing a light verticut for example.
Was there a rough price point for this here in Australia.
After seeing the Allett produced review and with the exchange rate, it seemed as if it would be around $6000. plus attachments.
Recommend to checkout the videos description as it includes pricing whilst the Stirling units start at $4,620 Ex GST 👍
Oh they aren’t quite that high. Pricing is in the description.
Hi, did you have any Problems with the Allett Stirling ? thanks for your Answer Kenneth from Germany
I only had it a little while so can’t comment long term but during testing this had no problems. Note that this machine had many hours on it as a tester before I got it.
🙂 i want to buy one, thank you very much for your Answer 🙂
How do u keep ur grass so green w that low of cut?
I think getting the soil good, management of thatch levels, deep infrequent watering and spoon feeding nutrients and the cut of cylinder mowers.
How do you sharpen the blades?
Take the cartridge out and send it to someone who does cylinder grinds.
A battery operated cylinder mower. Struth! what's next. Battery powered airliners! How long does the charge last for? Also do you need to adjust the mower height setting for each side? I've used battery powered rotary mowers before. I've found that the mower settings are not low enough to cut my couch lawn.
Charge lasts decent. I’d guess a 10Ah would be quite a few mows of a 200m2 yard. I didn’t have the time to do a proper test but that 3 outta 5 shot was done after 7 odd mows of my front (to get footage etc) the small bit of cultivating I did in the back and a mow of my rear plus mowing at both my mates which I drove it all the way to the property with the self propel
Height adjust is only done on one side.
Runtime is approx 40 minutes (850sqm) with the 6 blade cartridge and 5Ah battery. Whilst there are numerous variables including the HOC and which cartridge is in use that can affect it. However you can use the 10Ah Battery if you’re wanting a longer runtime. Whilst the HOC is 5-50mm, however you can do 4-15mm with the 10 Bladed Cutting Cylinder, the HOC adjuster is on one side 👍
Hi Matt I’ve been wanting one of these since they came and waited for the prices to go up lol. How would you compare this mower over the gas Kensington. I have a year Kensington but hopefully sell itself
whats your favorite cylinder mower
For me personally, the MowMaster R22G. That’s the sweet spot for me but this Stirling is magnificent.
What do you rate of the plantdoctor stuff?
I haven’t used the stuff before. Lots of ppl like it.
It's great stuff. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top products including lawn porn. Just get the dosage right, sprayer and technique dialled in and be consistent.
Almost 5k here in the states without no battery, and basic reel, absolutely rip off, i bought my JD greens mowers 11 blades with grooved roller for $1300.
Nice score with the JD at that price.
Hi @#Lawnporn lawn care tips, im planning on getting the allett liberty 43 any promotion codes dam they so pricy
BTW love the videos
They’ve all gone up so much in price in recent years. Unfortunately I cannot give out any discount codes etc because of my primary employment. It’s a bit difficult to explain. Sorry I can’t help you in this regard.
Allett mowers are way over priced for what they are. There are equivalent mowers on the market at more competitive prices.
The prices of worldwide supply and freight is ever more expensive these days. Everything to my eye has jumped lately.
So we can pass this feedback directly onto Allett, can you please let us know which equivalent units you’re referring to. In which also offer an interchangeable cartridge system and are lithium powered, thanks.
@@adeturfequipmentptyltd5402 From the US market, the Swardman goes for 3799, the Allett is 4469. The Battery on Allett's site is 999, plus the charger, 399. That makes the Allet 5867, compared to the 3799. Obviously Allett has some brand name power that has to count for some dollars, and Swardman is still an up and coming name, so they have to try to be cheaper to get market penetration, maybe $2000 is a fair difference in the industry, I don't know.
In Australia the Allett Stirling is about the same price as the Swardman Electra.
For 8k I could buy a proper ride on mower with reel attachment
Definitely true.
"Lower people" be like: Oy, mate!!
When you have a mower like this you have a lot of friends.
The price is not a good feature 😢 3,600
does Allet own Atco the
I'm not sure exactly but I think allett own the design.
In 2011 Bosch sold the intellectual drawings, plant, equipment and tooling for the entire existing mower range to the Allett Mowers 👌
@@adeturfequipmentptyltd5402 ok that's Bosch not Atco thought Atco did orginally own the designs for the Allet Buckinham range
Hi@@DarthSidious11 Yes ATCO was owned by Bosch then on-sold 👍
@@adeturfequipmentptyltd5402 ah ok cool didn't know that so Allet own 2 Mower companiel then Allet and Atco isn't isn't that actually 3 mower production companies they own then
Too expensive for what it does.
Don’t like the grass catcher. Bring back the hard plastic.
Understand that sentiment. The mesh will eventually wear
Ytb
Massive thanks!!!
Damn expensive.Pass
It’s a big investment. Well worth saving up for if you can.
@@lawnporn What's not jiving with me is that they priced it even more expensive than Swardman Electra and on top Stirling doesn't even come with battery. Uk pricing is substantially cheaper.
Let's see how this Stirling is going to perform long term in our US southern Texas weather with thick bermuda grass where we have bigger lawns before pulling the trigger.
It’s a pity you need to sell your house to buy one
Way too expensive 🤦
I understand your point of view
This is a very exspensive Ego mower !!
No way is this worth $4700-5000 it’s made 60% from a $750 made in China Ego mower . 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Allett is insane for their price points sorry!! Ego battery’s get ate up fast when using the self propelled and w this u have no choice it must be used I see a $1500-1800 mower at best!!
I get what you are saying and understand your point of view. If you can go a cheaper route to get the same thing then go for it but there are risks... I have mates that tried getting cheaper mowers from Alibaba and the like and never receive them.
I found the battery did quite well for the self propelled and mind you my batteries are now a couple of years old, stored in a shed when during the summer it gets to 50 degrees Celsius sometimes... not ideal for batteries.
