Finding the Right Mountfield Lawnmower for Your Garden
Choosing a lawnmower is rarely "one size fits all." At Godfreys, we categorize our Mountfield range based on how you prefer to work and the specific topography of your Sevenoaks or Kent garden.
Petrol, Cordless, or Electric: Which is right for you?
Mountfield Princess (Electric): These are our best-sellers for small to medium-sized urban gardens. They are lightweight, easy to store, and feature an integrated rear roller to give your lawn those classic British stripes.
Mountfield Freedom (Cordless): If you want to ditch the cable without the noise and fumes of petrol, the Freedom 500 battery range is the answer. These machines use interchangeable 48V batteries that can also power your Mountfield blower or hedge trimmer range. For smaller gardens, the Freedom 100 battery range, such as the Electress 34li, may be better suited.
Mountfield Petrol Mowers: For larger estates or thick grass, petrol remains the king of torque. Models like the Mountfield SP53 offer self-propelled drive systems, making it effortless to mow slopes or uneven ground.
Mountfield Lawn Tractors & Ride-On Mowers
For gardens over half an acre, a Mountfield ride-on mower or lawn tractor is the most efficient way to maintain a pristine finish. Designed for durability and ease of use, the Mountfield range at Godfreys covers everything from compact riders that fit through standard garden gates to heavy-duty twin-cylinder tractors for large Kent estates.
Choosing the Right Deck: Collection vs. Side-Discharge
Rear Collection (The 1530 & 1538 Series): Ideal for those who want a perfectly clean finish. These tractors use a direct-collect system to throw clippings straight into the large rear hopper—perfect for the classic lush Kent lawn.
Side-Discharge (The SD Series): Best for orchards, paddocks, or areas where the grass gets longer between cuts. These models spread the clippings to the side, allowing you to cover large areas quickly without stopping to empty a collector.

Mountfield Garden Machinery: Your Questions Answered
Q: Who makes Mountfield engines?
Most modern Mountfield lawnmowers are powered by STIGA engines (Mountfield is a STIGA Group brand). However, many of their “Elite” or high-performance models feature Honda or Briggs & Stratton engines. At Godfreys, we can help you identify exactly which engine is in your machine and provide the specific genuine parts needed for that model.
Q: Does my Mountfield mower have a rear roller for stripes?
Many Mountfield models, particularly the Princess, although due to its weight, do not produce a long-lasting stripe and the Empress (battery) ranges come with an integrated rear roller. This allows you to achieve the classic striped “British lawn” look. If you are looking for a petrol model with a roller, look for the “R” in the model name (e.g., SP42R).
Q: How often should I service my Mountfield lawn tractor?
To maintain your manufacturer’s warranty and ensure a clean cut, we recommend an annual service, ideally during the winter months. Because Mountfield tractors work hard on Kent’s larger estates, checking the belts, sharpening the blades, and changing the oil annually prevents costly mid-summer breakdowns. You can book your service directly through our Sevenoaks workshop.
Q: Can I use E10 fuel in my petrol Mountfield mower?
While Mountfield engines built after 2011 are technically compatible with E10 petrol, we strongly recommend using Aspen Alkylate fuel or a fuel stabilizer. E10 contains ethanol, which attracts moisture and can cause starting issues if left in the tank over winter. Using the correct fuel protects your carburetor and keeps your warranty valid.
Q: Where is the serial number on my Mountfield mower?
On most Mountfield walk-behind mowers, the serial number is on a silver or white sticker located on the deck behind the engine or near the rear discharge flap. For tractors, it is usually found under the seat. You will need this number when ordering spare parts from Godfreys to ensure a 100% correct fit.
