What This Product Is Used For
The Mountfield S461R PD is a petrol self propelled lawnmower designed for cutting medium sized gardens with less pushing effort. It is used for routine lawn mowing where users want a clean cut, reliable forward movement and the classic striped effect created by a rear roller.
