Description
Why buy the Mountfield SP46 Elite 18″ Petrol Lawn Mower?
- Powered by a reliable and easy-starting Honda GCVx145 Autochoke 145cc petrol engine.
- Self-propelled rear-wheel drive makes mowing effortless, even on gentle slopes.
- Generous 46cm (18″) cutting width, ideal for medium-sized lawns up to 1200 m².
- Versatile 3-in-1 cutting system: collect, mulch, or rear discharge clippings.

Powerful and Reliable Mowing with a Honda Engine
The Mountfield SP46 Elite is a high-quality, self-propelled petrol lawnmower designed for homeowners with medium-sized gardens. At its core is the superb Honda GCVx145 OHV Autochoke engine, a 145cc powerhouse known for its reliability, low emissions, and easy recoil starting. The Autochoke system ensures optimal starting in all conditions, removing the need for priming or choke adjustments.
Versatile Cutting Performance for a Perfect Finish
This mower offers exceptional flexibility with its 3-in-1 cutting system. The precision steel blade provides a clean 46cm (approx. 18″) cut every time. Clippings can be collected in the large 60-litre hybrid grass bag, which features a convenient ‘bag full’ indicator to prevent overfilling. For a natural lawn feed, the included mulching plug can be fitted, which finely shreds the clippings and returns them to the lawn as a nutrient-rich fertiliser. A rear discharge option is also available for when collection is not needed. The cutting height can be easily adjusted through six positions, from 22mm to 80mm, using a single centralised lever.
Designed for Comfort and Durability
The SP46 Elite is built to last with a robust steel chassis. Its self-propelled rear-wheel drive, operating at a steady 3.7 Km/h, takes the strain out of mowing, especially on larger lawns or uneven terrain. Large 280mm rear wheels provide excellent traction and a smooth ride over bumps. For operator comfort, the mower features an ergonomic handlebar with a soft grip, which is also adjustable and foldable for easy, space-efficient storage. This combination of a premium Honda engine and thoughtful design makes the Mountfield SP46 Elite a fantastic choice for any gardener looking for performance and dependability, available from Sims Garden Machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What assembly is required when I buy the Mountfield SP46 Elite?
When you purchase from an authorised dealer like Sims Garden Machinery, the experience is different. For local customers, we offer a free Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) and handover, so it’s fully assembled and ready to mow. For national delivery, it arrives securely packaged with only the handlebars needing to be attached, which is a very simple process.
Which fuel and engine oil are recommended for this petrol mower?
The Honda engine runs on standard unleaded petrol. For engine oil, it is crucial to use a high-quality 4-stroke engine oil. We recommend the specific Mountfield oil to guarantee the best engine performance and optimal lubrication.
Is this lawnmower suitable for a medium-sized garden?
Absolutely. With its 46cm (18″) cutting width and self-propelled drive, the SP46 Elite is specifically designed for medium-sized lawns up to approximately 1200 m², making mowing efficient and effortless.
How does the mulching feature benefit my lawn?
By fitting the included mulching plug, the mower finely shreds grass clippings and returns them to the lawn. This acts as a natural fertiliser, returning nutrients and moisture to the soil, promoting a healthier, greener lawn over time.
