Description
The Mountfield SP555 V Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower is the flagship four-wheel mower in the Mountfield range, designed for homeowners who demand professional-quality results on larger lawns. Built to tackle gardens up to 1,000m², this premium mower combines Honda reliability, innovative Twinclip cutting technology and variable speed drive to make maintaining your lawn faster, easier and more enjoyable.
At its heart is the powerful Honda GCVx170 OHV Autochoke petrol engine. With a displacement of 167cc and delivering 3.3kW of power, this premium engine provides smooth, dependable performance with excellent fuel efficiency and easy starting. The Autochoke system automatically manages the choke during starting, removing the need for manual adjustments and ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. Built with Honda’s renowned engineering quality, the engine offers long-lasting durability and dependable performance season after season.
The generous 53cm galvanised steel and aluminium cutting deck allows you to cover large lawns quickly while maintaining an exceptional finish. Mountfield’s exclusive Twinclip blade technology features four cutting edges instead of the traditional two, cutting each blade of grass twice before collection. This innovative design creates a cleaner cut, improves airflow and maximises grass collection performance, producing a finish comparable to that of a cylinder mower.
The SP555 V offers complete flexibility to suit changing lawn conditions. Grass can be collected into the spacious 70-litre hybrid grass collector, discharged from the rear when tackling longer grass or finely mulched using the supplied mulching plug. Mulching returns finely chopped grass clippings back into the lawn, naturally feeding the soil, helping retain moisture and reducing the need to empty the collector during regular mowing.
One of the standout features of the SP555 V is its variable speed self-propelled transmission. Unlike fixed-speed mowers, the drive speed can be adjusted between approximately 2.7km/h and 4.4km/h, allowing you to match the mower’s pace to your walking speed and the mowing conditions. Whether working carefully around flower beds or covering larger open areas, the adjustable drive system delivers greater comfort and control while reducing operator fatigue.
Centralised cutting height adjustment makes it quick and easy to select from seven cutting heights between 25mm and 77mm using a single lever. This allows you to adapt the mower to different grass lengths and seasonal conditions while achieving the precise finish you want. The anti-scalp front plate improves airflow beneath the deck and helps protect the lawn when mowing over uneven ground, ensuring a consistently high-quality cut.
Designed for comfort as well as performance, the SP555 V features ergonomic handlebars with three adjustable height positions to suit different users. The quick-release folding handles make storage simple by allowing the mower to fold down compactly when not in use. Large ball-bearing wheels provide smooth operation and excellent traction, making the mower easy to manoeuvre across a variety of lawn conditions. A built-in washing link allows the underside of the deck to be cleaned quickly using a garden hose, helping maintain peak cutting performance.
Built with premium materials including a galvanised steel and aluminium hybrid chassis, the SP555 V is designed for years of dependable use. The durable construction resists corrosion while maintaining the strength needed for demanding lawn care. Backed by Mountfield’s extended five-year domestic warranty, it offers complete peace of mind for homeowners investing in a premium petrol lawn mower.
The Mountfield SP555 V Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a high-performance petrol mower for large gardens. Featuring a powerful Honda GCVx170 engine, variable speed self-propelled drive, innovative Twinclip cutting technology, a durable 53cm cutting deck and versatile collecting, mulching and rear discharge functions, the Mountfield SP555 V delivers outstanding cutting performance, exceptional comfort and professional results every time.
