The Mountfield name has been associated with lawnmowers for nearly 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>Mountfield began manufacturing rotary lawn mowers at premises in Maidenhead in 1962; the modern, high specification machines of today bear little resemblance to their ancestors but all share a common ethos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-285 alignnone\" title=\"Mountfield history\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mountfield-history.jpg\" alt=\"Mountfield history\" width=\"602\" height=\"182\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Mountfield Ethos<\/h2>\n<p>Mountfield lawnmowers have comprehensive manufacturer\u2019s warranties (the period varies according to the model), which give you peace of mind and protect your investment. When you buy a Mountfield mower you are buying a quality machine that will provide you with years of service and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Mountfield are one of the UK\u2019s best selling makes of walk behind mowers, this is because of the quality and service they have offered over the years. They offer a wide range with models for lawns and gardens of all sizes.<\/p>\n<h2>Mountfield Lawn Mower Range<\/h2>\n<p>Mountfield manufacture <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/mountfield-lawn-mowers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">4-wheeled lawn mowers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/mountfield-lawn-mowers.html?design=56\" rel=\"nofollow\">rear roller mowers<\/a>, cylinder mowers, electric mowers, mulching mowers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/mountfield-ride-on-mowers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">ride-on mowers<\/a>, all of which offer fantastic value for money and excellent features.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Mountfield Lawn Mower Should I Buy?<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-286\" title=\"Mountfield lawnmower range\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mountfield-lawnmowers.jpg\" alt=\"Mountfield lawnmower range\" width=\"585\" height=\"114\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first thing to consider is the size of your garden. Is it small, medium, large or extra-large? If we use a tennis court as a reference point, small gardens are around half a tennis court, medium up to three-quarters and large up to one and a half. Extra large gardens are half an acre or more and a ride-on mower would be a more appropriate choice.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the size of your garden you may have a choice of power source. Mains electric mowers are quiet, lightweight and easy to use; they are ideal for smaller gardens. Petrol engine mowers are a better choice for larger areas as they are more powerful and not restricted by a cable. Modern petrol engines are easy to start; on some you just have to turn a key.<\/p>\n<p>Mowers with 4 wheels are highly manoeuvrable and give an excellent finish on all types of lawn. If you want a classic striped effect finish you\u2019ll need a machine with a rear roller. Cosset an pamper ultra fine lawns with a cylinder mower, they cut grass with scissor like precision.<\/p>\n<p>Hand propelled machines have to be pushed to make them move forward, the motor or engine\u2019s sole function is to drive the cutter blade. Power driven models have a transmission so they require less effort to use; just engage the drive and the mower will move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, do you want to collect your grass clippings? As well as conventional mowers with grass collectors, Mountfield have a range of Multiclip machines which save time, money and effort by recycling clippings.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/mulching-lawn-mowers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mulching lawnmowers<\/a> recycle your grass clippings without sacrificing the standard of finish using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justlawnmowers.co.uk\/mountfield-lawn-mowers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mountfield Multiclip mower<\/a>. Grass is cut and re-cut into tiny particles which are blown down into the base of the turf where they decompose and return valuable nutrients to the soil. Mowing your lawn the Multiclip way will save you time, money and effort.<\/p>\n<h2>Uniquely Mountfield<\/h2>\n<p>Mountfield are able to offer very competitive prices on their entry-level, domestic lawn mowers due to their reliable own-brand engines.
