Here we have the Mountfield S421R PD 41cm self propelled rear roller petrol lawnmower, a hardworking, good looking lawn mower aimed at the domestic gardener with small to medium sized gardens (up to 20m x 20m).
 
We have as much faith in the Mountfield brand as they do in themselves - so it's no surprise to us that they offer a 5 year warranty, giving you ultimate peace of mind. In our experience however, these Mountfield machines are built to last way longer than that. This particular model features an updated engine and chassis and a recoil engine that is a pleasure to start, even on those cold or damp mornings - and we have plenty of those to contend with, don't we?
 
If you want to achieve the best results with the minimum of effort than you should definitely consider a Mountfield self propelled lawn mower. Self propelled machines are built to take the hard work out of gardening. This Mountfield S421R PD is forward propelled from the back rear roller, giving you greater stability and better control as you mow. The full-width steel rear roller is sturdy and you will easily be able to achieve those classical stripes that will have your neighbours wondering how you've achieved the ornamental garden look.
 
The S421R PD self propelled rear roller from Mountfield is an ideal machine in that quest for the perfect lawn. Whether you are keeping your perfect lawn in shape or shaping your lawn from an overgrown mess of a back garden - you will achieve great results in no time, with minimum fuss and effort. The compact fuel tank holds 0.75 litres of petrol, giving you plenty of mowing in between top-ups saving you time and effort.
 
The 41cm cutting width will ensure an efficient cut and its manoeuvrability will ensure you won't struggle to get round those awkward obstacles. You'll be able to cut right up to your borders or fences and across paths giving a nice, neat finish.
 
Mountfield products are built to last and last and this particular model is no exception. You'll be pleased to know that this updated model offers a robust steel chassis that houses the all new STIGA ST140 auto choke engine. Easy to start and offering 139cc, this engine will give you plenty of torque and power when you need it the most.
 
Short grass or long grass is no obstacle for this machine, thanks to the versatile cutting heights ranging from 20-70mm. You will find the five different heights to be everything you need to ensure your lawn looks fresh and neat, whatever length you start from. The 55 litre grass collector is ideal for a small to medium sized garden, complete with an indicator to let you know when its full, offering you the utmost convenience.
 
If you find space is at a premium in your shed (when is it not?) simply fold the handles down - much easier to transport too. Safety is top of our list so we were pleased to discover that this model features an Operator Presence Control, which in layman's terms means it won't work unless you're holding onto the handle.
 
Mountfield always load up their machines with plenty of features to keep the user as comfortable as possible. After all, the more at ease you are with your machine the more work you'll get done, right? Well let's hope so. You'll be pleased to note that the handles have been ergonomically designed to be easy to use - and coupled with the new engine that is quieter, with less vibrations all in all this should add up to an overall more enjoyable user experience.
