Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower

Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower £1099.00
With no bulky grass-catcher and a cutting-width of a mere 66cm, this ultra-compact ride-on mower from long-established British brand Mountfield is suitable for obstacle-packed lawns that are that little bit too big to cover efficiently with a walk-behind machine.The Mountfield 727M Ride-On Lawnmower is a dedicated recycling mower which reduces grass-clippings to a fine, highly compostable mulch that’s spread evenly over the lawn surface, where it will rapidly rot-down and vanish. This process will see the turf benefit from the natural nutrients and moisture released by the decomposition process.Thanks to its five-speed gearbox (four forward / one reverse); six-stage cutting-height; and side-discharge capability, the Mountfield 727M can be set-up to achieve excellent results no matter what the weather conditions or surface-type. It features an under-seat contact-breaker that optimises safety by ensuring the engine won’t run if you’re not at the controls; and it’s driven by a beefy 3.75hp (196cc) Mountfield 5500-Series electric-start engine, which boasts an OHV-type layout for reduced noise; wear; vibration; and fuel-consumption.This model is covered by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty and is suitable for use on lawns around 2000m2.
