Walk Mowers

Choosing the right lawnmower can seem daunting - but it

needn’t be difficult if you follow this guide.

The first thing to consider is the size of your garden. Is it small,

medium, large or extra large? If we use a tennis court as a

reference point, small gardens are around half a tennis court,

medium up to three quarters and large up to one and a half.

Extra large gardens are half an acre or more and a ride-on

mower would be a more appropriate choice.

Depending on the size of your garden you may have a choice

of power source. Mains electric mowers are quiet, lightweight

and easy to use; they are ideal for smaller gardens. Petrol

engine mowers are a better choice for larger areas as they are

more powerful and not restricted by a cable. Modern petrol

engines are easy to start; on some you just have to turn a key.

Mowers with 4 wheels are highly manoeuvrable and give an

excellent finish on all types of lawn. If you want a classic

striped effect finish you’ll need a machine with a rear roller.

Cosset ultra fine lawns with a cylinder mower, they cut grass

with scissor like precision. You’ll find more information on

Mountfield cylinder mowers on page 36.

Hand propelled machines have to be pushed to make them

move forward, the motor or engine’s sole function is to drive

the cutter blade. Self propelled models have a transmission so

they require less effort to use; just engage the drive and the

mower will move forward.

The chassis, or cutter deck, may be made of polypropylene,

steel with a powder coated paint finish or aluminium. It houses

the blade and determines the working width, from 34cm to

53cm.

Finally, do you want to collect your grass clippings? As well as

conventional machines with grass collectors we have models

with a mulch option which saves time and effort by recycling

clippings.

The grassbox indicator lets you

see when the box is full and

ready to be emptied.

The greater the capacity of the grass

collector the fewer times you’ll have

to empty it.

For additional ease of use choose

a mower with electric key start.

Turning the key starts

the engine.

If you want a striped effect finish

select a machine with a rear roller.

Levers are used to adjust the cutting

height. This mower just has one lever;

other models may have 2, 3 or 4 levers.

Our petrol mowers are powered by either

Mountfield or Honda engines. All of them

are 4-stroke and run on unleaded petrol with

a separate tank for the oil Power outputs are

listed in the specification tables in the back

of this brochure.

The chassis, or cutter deck, may be made of polypropylene,

steel with a powder coated paint finish or aluminium.

It houses the cutter blade and determines the working

width of the mower.

Some models have quick release

handle fittings like these – an

advantage if you need to fold the

handles for storage.

All Mountfield engines fitted to our

petrol mowers are the overhead

valve type (OHV). Simple, compact

and durable OHV engines have a

highly efficient combustion system

to provide an excellent power

output.

The Honda engines fitted to our

mowers have overhead cams

(OHC). This type of engine is slightly

more complex than an OHV type but

has fewer moving parts so is quieter.

The cam is driven by a belt.

Transform your Mountfield

lawnmower into a mulching model

with our ‘Mulching Plug’. This easy

to fit device eliminates the need for

grass collection as all the grass

cuttings are finely cut and recycled

into your lawn. This not only

fertilises your lawn, it also makes

cutting your grass around 30%

quicker!

All Mountfield mowers have an

operator presence control (OPC)

lever – a safety device which

stops the engine within seconds

This throttle control allows you

to vary the engine speed to suit

your working conditions.

Some models have to be pushed to make

them move forward. Self propelled models

have a transmission, when this is engaged the

mower moves forward. This mower has a 4

speed transmission.
