Mountfield HP45 Review

The Mountfield HP45 Petrol Lawnmower is a highly effective and well designed mower which is perfectly suited for medium to large sized lawns. It has a wide 46cm cutting width that minimises the number of lengths required to cut your entire lawn, and has a height-adjustable blade so that you can choose the length of your grass. It allows for both extra-short / formal summer grass, and longer winter grass.

The mower is powered by a 123cc Mountfield ST120 OHV Autochoke petrol engine which delivers enough power to cut long/tall grass with ease. We like the mower's steel cutter deck that makes it more durable. Note that you can either collect grass in the large 60 litre grass box, or return the grass to your lawn with the mulching functionality.

It has a wide cutting blade (46cm) which allows you to cut your grass with fewer trips up and down the garden. From a height perspective, the blade can be lifted/lowered with a lever that can be set in 6 positions between 22mm and 65mm.
• Petrol Engine - The mower has a 123cc Mountfield ST120 OHV Autochoke petrol engine. It provides ample power to the blades, letting them cut long/tall grass with ease.

We like its wide cutting blade width, as well as its lever-controlled adjustable height. We also like how you're given a choice between using a large 60 litre grass bag (to collect cut grass) and using the mower's mulching functionality. We rate the Mountfield HP45 Petrol Lawnmower 4.5 out of 5 stars.
