The Mountfield S501R-PD Rear-Roller Lawnmower is a superior machine aimed at homeowners looking for a high-specification product from a leading brand at an attractive price-point.

Powering it is a Mountfield ST55 engine; a high-capacity 160cc four-stroke unit that develops an impressive 3.4hp (@ 2800rpm); and which employs fuel-saving and emission-minimising overhead-valve (OHV) technology.

Boasting a powder-coated galvanised-steel deck and robust aluminium fixture-points, the Mountfield S501R-PD easily justifies the extended five-year manufacturer's warranty it carries.

A heavy roller mounted at the rear will produce the classic stripe that’s so characteristic of the British lawn; while single-lever cutting-height means it couldn’t be simpler to select the most effective blade-setting (you can cut right down to 13mm if you’re a fan of the close-cropped finish).

Thanks to its self-propelled drive, the Mountfield S501R-PD will take rolling terrain, rough grass and inclines in its stride.

It comes with a roomy 80-litre grass-catcher that’s made from canvas to help save storage-space; and it’s equipped with a hosepipe attachment-point that makes it quick and easy to remove any debris accumulation from the underside of the deck.

Also featured is Mountfield's Twinclip blade-technology, whereby each blade of grass is cut twice for more efficient bagging and a superior finish.

This 48cm model is suitable for larger-scale use and comes with an extended five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
