Allett Liberty vs Cambridge: Which Is Right for You?
When it comes to premium cylinder mowers, two names dominate the conversation at Lofty Lawn Care: the Allett Liberty 43 and its successor, the Cambridge 43.
Whether you're investing in your first cylinder mower or thinking about an upgrade, this guide answers our most frequently asked question:
“Should I buy the Liberty or wait for the Cambridge?”
The Liberty 43: A Trusted Workhorse
The Allett Liberty 43 has been a best-seller at Lofty Lawn Care, known for its neat finishes, quiet operation, and compatibility with Allett’s quick-change cartridge system.
Here's what John had to say:
But here’s the scoop: The Liberty 43 line is officially ending in Australia. There are fewer than 10 units left nationwide — and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
Don’t worry: Warranty, parts, and support are still available through Lofty Lawn Care.
Enter the Cambridge 43: A Refined Successor
The Cambridge 43 was launched in spring 2024 as a direct upgrade to the Liberty, and it sold out by the end of summer. Built using real customer and dealer feedback, it’s the next step in Allett’s legacy of innovation.
