SP46 Lawn mower

If you want a mower that simply gets on with the job, the Mountfield SP46 is well worth a look. Self-propelled and petrol-driven, it takes the hard work out of cutting medium-sized lawns, letting you focus on the results rather than the effort. At the heart of it is the STIGA ST140 Autochoke engine – a proven, dependable unit that starts easily and runs reliably season after season. Pair that with a 46cm cutting width and you have a machine that covers ground efficiently without sacrificing quality.

The dark grey steel chassis gives the SP46 a purposeful, robust appearance that matches its build quality. Cutting height is adjusted centrally via a single lever, with six positions available to suit everything from a light trim to tackling longer, overgrown grass. Clippings are swept into a generous 60-litre canvas grass bag, and a handy bag-full indicator takes the guesswork out of emptying it – you’ll know exactly when it’s time to head to the compost heap.

If you’d rather skip the emptying altogether, the SP46 has you covered. Swap in the included mulching plug and the mower finely chops the clippings and feeds them back into the lawn as you go, returning nutrients to the soil and saving you time in the process.

Weighing in at 26kg, it’s manageable to push and manoeuvre around borders and obstacles, and it’s backed by Mountfield’s 5-year extended warranty (T&Cs apply) for complete peace of mind.
