The Mountfield SP425 42cm, steel deck self propelled mower with Honda GCV160 engine
Back to Petrol LawnmowersThe SP425 with its power driven rear wheels takes away the effort of pushing the mower; simply pull up the clutch lever, and the mower propells itself whilst you merely steer it around your lawn.
The Mountfield SP425 with its 41cm/16" cutting width and a Honda GCV160 OHC engine, offers a quality, no frills mower at an affordable price.
The cutting height is adjusted by a single lever height adjustment with 5 pre-set cutting positions, from 25mm to 80mm.
The grassbox holds 60 litres of grass and has a bag full indicator. For those wishing to mulch their grass a mulching plug is included, you can recycle the grass clippings back into the lawn, saving you time, money and effort.
This little mower is easy to use and extremely economical to run. The robust steel chassis is powder coated in silver, it will give you many years of service.
The 41cm deck, makes this mower suitable small to medium sized gardens, of around 20m x 20m.

The engine of this machine requires SAE10w30 oil. The engine will be filled prior to delivery, but subsequent oil changes will require 0.6 litres of oil. We suggest that a first oil change is carried out at roughly 10 hours use, then on an annual basis.
We would also suggest that an annual service is carried out.

The engine is designed to run on standard unleaded fuel, but please be aware that this fuel will go stale very quickly so it is best to use fuel that is less than 60 days old or engine problems can occur.
We recommend the use of ASPEN 4 fuel as it will last indefinitely without going stale, so peak performance and starting is always guaranteed. ASPEN 4 is however more expensive than standard petrol but in our opinion it is well worth the added expense.It can be purchased in sealed 5 litre cans from ourselves at the Colaton Raleigh shop.
