In this Mountfield SP41 Petrol lawn mower review, we’re going to take a look at one of Mountfield’s most popular models. You’ll also see why I think it’s a contender for the best petrol mower for smaller lawns. Short Mountfield SP41 Review

That power is supplied by a Honda GCVx145 engine; a pro-grade air-cooled four-stroke unit with an OHV formation for emission compliance, vibration- and noise-reduction, and improved fuel-economy.It’s small, fairly basic, but well priced while at the same time being good quality. 100cc OHV Engine

The Mountfield SP51H Petrol Lawnmower has been equipped with self-propulsion, so will prove a real boon if your lawn’s on a slope, or has sections of rough, bumpy grass.That said, the issues I’ve highlighted are small and shouldn’t stop you investing in this machine if you have a medium to large sized lawn.

There is no ignition key on this Mountfield SP53, so for added safety, Mountfield has gone with a Operator Presence Control (OPC) lever – the operator must have at least one hand griping the safety handle before the machine will start. If the control handle is released, the engine will stop. By that I mean it’s well priced but good quality and has plenty of features to help you get the best finish when cutting the grass. 160cc OHV Engine The Mountfield SP53 has folding handles at both the middle and lower level, so you will not have issues with storage.

The SP51H mower is compact in size and delivers great manoeuvrability whilst reducing user fatigue thanks to it’s self-propelling function. Furthermore, the SP51H boasts an excellent and smooth acceleration thanks to its clutch transmission. If you feel you can handle the 20kg weight and you’d prefer to save yourself some money, Mountfield make the same mower without the self-propelling feature.
