The Masport 150ST SP self-propelled lawnmower is powered by a
Briggs & Stratton 300E Series™ engine. These engines are perfectly suited

blade. A 4 wheeled lawnmower this size is suited to small to medium sized
domestic lawns and gardens and will give a good cut and finish to most types of
lawn.Cutting heights are adjusted with a single lever and the
grass box is made of fabric. Fabric grass bags allow air to circulate through the
grass cuttings which helps with the collection ability.

standard which is fitted to the rear of the mower without the bag in place.
With the plug in place grass cuttings are finely mulched as you mow, then blown
back onto the lawn recycling them for extra moisture and nutrients. If using
the mulching function only cut a third of the grass height at a time for the
best results.SpecificationsModel : 150ST SPType : 4 wheeledDrive: YesCutting Type: Rotary bladeCutting Heights: 14 – 62mmEngine : Briggs & Stratton 300E Series™Engine Capacity : 125ccStarter : Recoil /ManualFuel : PetrolEngine Oil : 4-stroke (0.6ml bottle included)Cutting Width : 42cm / 16 inchHeight Adjustments : Single leverGrass Collector : Fabric 42LRear Discharge : YesMulching : Yes, included as standardWeight : 27kg
