A decade has passed since the dynamic emergence of the Cobra brand in 2013. Yet, this brand’s reputation is far from unfamiliar, as it boasts the unwavering support of industry titans, Henton and Chattell Ltd. With an impressive 85 years of expertise in gardening machinery, the Cobra brand epitomizes quality, dependability, value, and customer-centricity. Every lawnmower is meticulously crafted to excel in its task, characterized by its sturdy construction for enduring performance, making it an investment that guarantees remarkable value over time.
The engineers behind the Cobra brand very quickly established themselves as one of the top brands of garden machinery and they keep this top spot by constantly bringing bold designs and cutting edge products to the table. The Cobra brand is innovative, it moves with the times and are a brand to keep your eye on as there’s always something new on the horizon.
The brand new cylinder mower range from Cobra is called “Fortis” and is the latest innovative design to hit the market in 2023. It offers four cylinder mowers, starting with a compact 14” model that features a powerful and very efficient Loncin petrol driven engine and then the further three models which are 17”, 20” and 25” in cutting widths, all powered by Briggs & Stratton engines which give you that extra amount of power – making them ideal in larger gardens.
Each lawn mower in the range comes well equipped with a range of cutting heights that start at 6mm and go up to 30 mm allowing you to achieve the exact finish you are looking for every time. You simply turn a knob to select your required height. It’s good to know that each Cobra Fortis lawnmower has a reel of 6 blades that rotate against a fixed blade thus creating a scissor like action which gives a clean, precise cut to every blade, leaving you with a neat finish.
Depending on the model of lawn mower that you buy, each one comes with either a smooth split roller, a cast ribbed split roller, or a rubber covered split roller. The heavy duty drive system combines with these rollers to ensure those much admired stately home stripes on your lawn while the split roller reduces scalping on your lawn and makes the lawnmower more maneuverable.
The handlebars are conveniently positioned to reduce fatigue and straining and the operator controls are exactly where you’d want them to be. They ensure that the Cobra Fortis range of lawnmowers are safe and easy to operate, and help to improve the efficiency of the lawnmower.
The grass box capacity on the Cobra Fortis cylinder mowers ranges in size depending on the model you buy, but it starts at 55 litres and goes up in size to 90 litres and this may be a factor in which model you select to suit your needs. Of course the smaller the grass box, the lighter the lawnmower is going to be to work with, but the larger grass boxes of course hold more grass cuttings meaning less trips to the compost heap to empty it and also makes it better for larger gardens.
To achieve an even neater lawn you can choose to purchase the optional front grooved roller. It has less surface area in contact with the ground and therefore offers a much cleaner finish on your lawn. This optional item is robust and well-designed to do a great job and will work hard for many years to come. As well as this option there is also a turf rake – once fitted it works by lifting the grass blades before they are cut, increasing the cutting prowess of your lawnmower. Imagine trying to cut a lawn where all the grass is laying flat – this turf rake takes care of that for you.
This Cobra Fortis range is brand new and exciting – with its precision 6 bladed cutting system, powerful, high performance engines, heavy-duty drive system, and its six additional interchangeable cartridges, this Fortis range from Corba is one of Cobra’s most innovative, ambitious products to date and there has been a lot of excitement building here at Just Lawnmowers as we wait to see what our customers think of it.

Not only are these four outstanding lawnmowers, but they are incredibly flexible and hard working thanks to their ability to transform into a wide range of different types of lawn care products. Each lawnmower has a six bladed cutting cassette for mowing the lawn, and this cassette can easily be replaced by a number of different cassettes to allow you to perform other lawn care type jobs such as aerating and scarifying to name just two.
The cassettes have been designed to fit a specific lawnmower so always make sure you buy the correct size to fit your model. There are ten different cassettes to choose from and they are reasonably priced and very robustly made, offering you excellent value for money. These uniquely designed cassettes mean that you have a range of lawn care products at your fingertips, they don’t cost the earth and they don’t take up too much of your valuable space in your shed. For example, you can switch from a 6-bladed cutting cylinder for general mowing to a scarifier cartridge for thatch removal or a verticutter cartridge for removing lateral growth and coarser grasses.
Cobra Fortis Lawncare System
Verticutter
This verticutter cassette comes in a range of sizes to suit your lawnmower model. For ideal results you should use this on grass that has been mown to below 20mm. It removes soil compaction and also very slightly penetrates the soil to ensure extra air, moisture and nutrients effectively reach the grass roots. It lightly removes thatch build up with its fine and lightweight blades and thanks to its vertical cutting action it can increase turf density.
Scarifier
This Scarifier cassette also comes in a range of sizes to suit your lawnmower model. This is more aggressive than the verticutter (see above) and works hard to remove debris and denser thatch. It effectively penetrates the soil to ensure maximum air, moisture and nutrients effectively reach the grass roots, thus encouraging new and healthy growth for a lush lawn.
Dethatcher
Again, please check you buy the right size for your lawn mower as this dethatcher comes in a range of sizes. Twice as effective as the verticut cassette, this dethatcher will remove the very densest layers of thatch and not only that but it will also collect twice as much material as the verticut cartridge. That’s not to say the verticut isn’t effective, it’s just better for less intense situations. This cassette has thick, wide spaced tines that will penetrate the soil up to 6mm deep.
Aerator
This aerator comes in cassette form just like all of the others and is super easy to slip into your Cobra Fortis lawn mower. It is available in a range of sizes to suit your model. This cassette has heavy duty blades that slit the ground and break up any soil compaction, ultimately creating a thicker, fuller, healthier lawn. Designed to be long lasting, it offers excellent value for money.
Turf Rake
This cassette makes quick work of improving the soil beneath your lawn – it features extremely hard working and powerful blades that both lift the thatch and thinly slice the soil surface to allow for water, air and nutrients to flow down to the roots. This cassette comes in four sizes to fit your lawn mower model.
Lawn Brush
This innovative cassette features clever rotating brushes to collect up light debris effectively. It can easily cope with fallen leaves, twigs, grass clippings or litter and this collecting debris will be placed in the lawnmower’s collection box. It can also be used to remove dew and light rain from your lawn and this helps enormously to prevent those unwanted fungal diseases.
10-Blade Cassette
Now you can even replace your six bladed cassette that comes as standard on each of the four lawnmowers in the Cobra Fortis range with this ten bladed cassette. This allows you to achieve any even neater and closer finish which is ideal for your games of croquet, tennis or bowling!
