With this impressive machine from Mountfield you get the long-established British brand’s usual blend of superior build-quality, high-spec features and flexibility of use.

The Mountfield SP485HW-V comes driven by a Honda GCVx145 engine; a 145cc premium-range power-unit with Autochoke for consistently reliable starting; and OHC technology for higher engine-speeds, less noise and reduced fuel-consumption.

Honda’s Dura-Lube system enhances longevity by protecting key parts from premature wear; while their provision of automatic decompression means low-effort pull-starts.

With a steel-cutter-deck at its heart, the Mountfield SP485HW-V will easily handle the inevitable bumps and knocks it will encounter during its operation life.

It boasts a roomy 70-litre grass-catcher with a hard top that keeps dust and pollen particles contained during very dry weather; and it features a ‘bag full’ indicator that makes it easy to keep track of the fill-level, which in turn prevents over-packing and the subsequent blockages.

This model benefits from an ultra-responsive variable-speed transmission with a cone-clutch design for durability and a marked increase in torque. The ability to adjust the ground-speed makes it possible to adapt to both the grass-length and the type of terrain you’re dealing with.

Button-controlled height-of-cut adjustment ensures selecting any of the six blade-positions is super-simple; while extra-large-diameter drive-wheels provide increased traction and make it much easier to manoeuvre in long grass.

If you’d prefer not to collect clippings, you can choose to either rear-discharge or mulch them (mulch-plug included).
