Cobra Fortis 17B 43cm / 17" Self-Propelled Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower - COFORTIS17B

Cobra Fortis 17B 43cm / 17" Petrol Self-Propelled Cylinder Lawn Mower – FORTIS17B

The Cobra Fortis 17B is built for keen gardeners maintaining medium to large lawns who require a precise, traditional cylinder cut with strong visual striping. Designed with a robust steel chassis and a high-accuracy cutting system, it delivers a clean, scissor-like finish suitable for ornamental and domestic lawn care.

With a wider 43cm cutting width and self-propelled single-speed drive, the Fortis 17B offers efficient coverage while remaining stable and well balanced in use. The steel front roller and cast, ribbed split rear roller allow accurate edging and produce the classic striped finish associated with cylinder mowers.

Powered by a Briggs & Stratton XR550 Series™ engine, the Fortis 17B provides dependable performance with straightforward recoil starting. The integrated blade brake clutch (BBC) allows the cutting cylinder to disengage while the engine continues running, improving convenience and safety during operation.

Key Features:

• Six-bladed cutting cylinder: Precision-ground blades delivering 79 cuts per metre for a fine, striped finish.
• Self-propelled drive: Single-speed transmission reduces effort on medium to large lawns.
• Blade brake clutch (BBC): Stops the cutting cylinder while the engine continues to run.
• Interchangeable cartridge system: Allows quick removal and replacement of the cutting unit for alternative lawn care tasks.
