Free yourself from the restrictions of a potentially hazardous mains-lead and go anywhere in your garden with the petrol-driven lawnmower from MTD.

Powering it is a high-specification 2.3hp (123cc) MTD ThorX 35 engine, which exploits the latest overhead-valve technology that delivers a marked decrease in fuel-consumption; sound output; vibration; and exhaust emissions when set against a comparable side-valve unit. MTD’s easy-pull recoil ignition-system ensures low-effort pull-starts.

The MTD S42PO Petrol Push Lawnmower offers both rear-discharge and collection as standard, so long and short grass can be tackled with equal confidence (the bag capacity is a substantial 60-litres). Should you wish to recycle your clippings and at the same time nourish the turf, you can work with the optional mulch-plug fitted.

Giving you the choice of six heights-of-cut (28-92mm), adjustable via just two levers, the MTD S42PO can be quickly set-up to suit the nature of the application and prevailing weather conditions.

A heavy-gauge steel cutter-deck contributes the machine’s strength and durability; while a fold-down handlebar ensures it will take-up very little space in your shed or car boot.

This model has a very compact 42cm cutting-width; ideal for small, obstacle-packed lawns.
