If you’re looking to achieve an exceptionally close-cut finish, similar to that of a bowling green or tennis court, then the Mountfield Emperor 40 could be the mower for you. Its six bladed cutting-cylinder is capable of cutting up to 339 times every metre & can be height-adjusted in infinite increments between 7 & 30mm to suit your preferred finish (the average rotary mower will only cut down to around 20mm). Robust steel rollers at the front & rear of the machine will leave behind a traditional ‘ Wimbledon’-style stripe. The 40cm cut, 51-litre grass-collector & self-propelled drive on the Mountfield Emperor 40 combine to make it ideal for formal lawns around 55m 2. It’s equipped with an ultra-reliable 127cc Briggs & Stratton engine; an overhead-valve type unit that you’ll find smooth-running, environmentally-sound & easy to get started. Power from the engine is sent via a centrifugal clutch which keeps wear to a minimum & stops the engine from stalling should the cylinder come to an abrupt halt for any reason. The Mountfield Emperor 40 Self-Propelled Cylinder Lawn Mower also features an Operator Presence Control; a safety device that ensures the engine stops when you release the bail-arm.
