A compact steel-deck mower with a large collector

Self-propelled 41cm mowing with collection and mulching flexibility.

The SP42 combines a 123cc STIGA ST 120 Autochoke engine, rear-wheel drive and a 41cm steel deck. Its 60-litre hybrid collector, full indicator and central height control provide a substantial feature set for small-to-medium lawns.

01
Large collector for its width

The 60-litre bag reduces trips to the disposal point on an otherwise compact mower.

02
Central height control

Six cutting positions are selected from one control rather than adjusting individual wheels.

03
Collect or mulch

The supplied mulch plug adds a lower-disposal option for regularly maintained grass.

Engineering details

The ten-image product gallery covers the chassis, controls and collector.

All editorial panels use SP42-specific media already connected to the Shopify product.

Rear-wheel self-propulsion
Drive

Rear-wheel self-propulsion

Powered travel reduces effort on ordinary inclines and uneven sections.

60-litre hybrid bag
Collector

60-litre hybrid bag

The full indicator helps prevent overfilling and discharge-chute blockage.

Robust steel chassis
Deck

Robust steel chassis

The steel deck supports long-term domestic use and the mower’s multiple clipping methods.

Working modes

Use collection, mulching or rear discharge as conditions change.

The current Mountfield specification lists all three clipping routes, although the Shopify description emphasises collection and mulching.

01
Collect

Use the 60-litre bag for a clean finish and clipping removal.

02
Mulch

Fit the supplied plug when grass is cut frequently and is not excessively long.

03
Rear discharge

Leave material behind where speed matters more than collection.
