Aimed at exacting lawn-enthusiasts, this fantastically well-appointed petrol rotary mower from leading UK brand Mountfield offers levels of build-quality, performance and versatility you’d normally struggle to find in this price-bracket!

Primary amongst numerous top-end features is its Honda GCVx170 OHV Autochoke engine; a 166cc pro-duty four-stroke unit with an OHV-type design that comprises fewer moving parts, thereby reducing noise, vibration and maintenance-requirements.

An effective paper air-filter provides comprehensive protection against the ingress of damaging airborne debris; while a decompression-valve lessens resistance in the recoil mechanism so as to make starting almost effort-free.

Thanks to its dual-surface Twinclip blade, which cuts and re-cuts each blade of grass, the Mountfield SP555V Petrol Lawnmower delivers a super-neat finish and offers superior collection-capacity (the catcher holds a substantial 70-litres and has a hard top for the retention of dust and pollen).

It boasts a stepless ground-speed variator that means you can work at the best pace for the grass-length and terrain you’re faced with; and it benefits from a ‘bag full’ indicator that alerts you when a trip to the compost-heap is needed, in turn preventing blocking of the exit-chute.

The Mountfield SP555V Variable-Speed Petrol Lawnmower has been designed with flexibility-of-use to the fore, offering as it does seven preset cutting-heights and three mowing-modes (collection; rear-discharge; mulching).

Aluminium fixtures combine with a rugged galvanised-steel deck to confer outstanding durability; while a deck-mounted hosepipe attachment-point makes the removal of rotting, corrosive clippings from the underside quick and easy.

Other desirable features include convenient quick-fold handlebars; and straightforward single-point cutting-height selection. This model comes backed by a lengthy five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
