Three lightweight mowers with heavyweight performances

Modern petrol powered-lawnmowers with a wide cut and larger engines are not the lightest things in the world to control and for many a lawnmower powerful lawnmower but light to control is what’s needed.
So here are three such mower made for small to medium sized lawns but still with plenty of power and yet light and simple to use.

First is our own little MD 40P Petrol Push Lawn Mower, light yet powerful, with a 150 cc Easy-Start engine, Italian made and with few emissions.
The cutting deck is in lightweight polypropylene, resistant to corrosion but still sturdy – and it weighs in at just 22 kg.
A 40 litre grass box and five cutting heights from 25 to 75 mm make it ideal for the smaller lawn; the width of cut is 39 cm. so it can easily scoot round path edges and flower beds.
The handlebars fold down the easy storage and a deadman’s handle which stops the engine when released is a useful safety feature.
It costs £129.95, £50 les than the maker’s recommended price.
Delivery is free the next working day and there is a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
Here’s another exclusive to use from a leading Italian manufacturer.
The Oleo-Mac G44-PK Petrol Push Lawn Mower has a steel deck and an EMAK 140 cc engine.
The working width is 41 cm making it suitable for a lawn about the size of a tennis court.
The grass box can hold 60 litres but there is also a mulching blade which chops the grass to the size of tea leaves and returns it to the lawn where it rots down to become a useful fertilizer.
There are four cutting heights from 28 to 75 mm. And the machine weighs just 23.7 kg.
This one costs £179, has a three year warranty and is delivered free the next working day.
And the third is from the New Zealand company, Masport, a company with a reputation for manufacturing outstanding machines.

It has a single lever to adjust the cutting height which goes down to a very low 10 mm and up to 70 mm. And it weighs 28 kg.
The grass box holds 54.5 litres of clippings and the cutting width is 46 cm. Power is from a Briggs £ Stratton engine and a deadman’s handle is incorporated as a safety feature.
