Description
Why buy the Mountfield 827M 26″ Petrol Lawn Rider?
- Powered by a reliable 224cc STIGA engine with electric key-start
- Compact 66cm (approx. 26″) cutting width, perfect for getting through narrow gates
- Versatile 3-in-1 cutting system: collect, side-discharge, and mulch (plug included)
- Spacious 150-litre textile grass collector for fewer stops
- Manual transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear for simple control
- Ideal for managing lawns up to 3000m² (approx 0.75 acres)
Compact Agility for Complex Gardens
The Mountfield 827M Petrol Lawn Rider is the perfect solution for homeowners who feel a walk-behind mower isn’t enough, but a full-sized garden tractor is too much. Its compact design is its greatest strength, allowing it to navigate through standard garden gates and manoeuvre around obstacles with a tight turning circle. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for gardens up to 0.75 acres (3000 m²) with intricate layouts, flowerbeds, and pathways.
Reliable Power and Versatile Cutting
At its core is a dependable STIGA ST 250 ES engine, a 224cc single-cylinder unit that provides consistent power and features an electric key-start for effortless operation. The 66cm cutting deck is equipped with a single blade, and offers a flexible 3-in-1 cutting system. You can choose to collect clippings in the generous 150-litre textile grass collector, use the side-discharge chute for longer grass, or naturally fertilise the lawn by using the included mulching plug. With six cutting height positions, adjustable from 30mm to 76mm via a simple lever, achieving a precise finish is straightforward.
User-Friendly Design and Operation
The 827M features a mechanical transmission operated by a lever, offering 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, giving the operator complete control. User comfort is addressed with a Mountfield classic seat and an ergonomic steering wheel. Practical features include a pivoting front axle for better stability on uneven ground and a convenient washing link. This allows for easy cleaning of the deck’s underside by simply connecting a hose, turning on the water, and engaging the blade to clear away grass clippings.
