Mountfield SP505R-V Variable-Speed Petrol Rear-Roller Lawnmower (with Honda Engine)

The impressive SP505R-V from trusted British brand Mountfield is aimed at homeowners looking for a premium-level petrol roller mower at a price that won’t break the bank!

At its heart is a Honda GCVx170 engine that employs an OHV (overhead-valve) configuration for a cut in fuel costs, and which employs only precision-machined components so as to minimise vibration, noise and wear.

Honda’s Autochoke system ensures dependable starting under any conditions; while their Dura-Lube technology delivers an impressively lengthy engine life.

The Mountfield SP505R-V boasts a power-driven rear roller, which makes the negotiation of slopes and rolling ground a low-effort operation (the ground-speed can be adjusted to suit the terrain and grass length).

It features centralised height-of-cut adjustment, so you’ll find it quick and easy to select the most appropriate blade position; and it’s built around a hybrid steel/aluminium deck, which offers the ideal blend of lightness and strength.

The minimum cutting-height on the Mountfield SP505R-V Petrol Rear-Roller Lawnmower is just 13mm – with it set this low you’ll be able to achieve a neat, manicured finish similar to that produced by a cylinder mower.

A deck-wash port makes it possible to clean the undercarriage by simply attaching a hosepipe and spinning the blade; a large 75-litre-capacity collector and generous 48cm working-width combine to ensure a fast work rate on a more substantial lawn.
