Steel Chassis and Skid Plate

The skid plate is fitted at the front of the deck. It minimises the risk of you scalping the grass on uneven surfaces, so ensuring a flawless finish to your lawn.

Self-Propelled Mowing!

All you need to do to activate the Mountfield Lawnmower SP53’s self-propelled drive is to press the lever on the lawnmower’s handlebar. Going self-propelled makes mowing a real breeze, even on steep inclines.

A Spacious Grass Collector

The Mountfield SP53 Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower is supplied with a spacious 60-litre grass collector, which contains plenty of room for cuttings. And thanks to a handy side indicator, you can see exactly when it needs emptying.

The Mulching Plug

This versatile mower also comes with a mulching plug. Simply remove the grass collector, insert the chute, and your finely cut clippings will be recycled back onto the lawn as a nitrogen-rich mulch.

As well as enriching your lawn, mulching saves the time and effort of emptying the grass collector, so has the potential to be a real win-win scenario.

Ergonomically Designed Handlebar

The soft-grip handlebar is ergonomically designed, making this lawn mower very comfortable to use. It can be adjusted to meet your height and help you maintain a healthy posture.
