What We Say
Having seen this McCulloch M46 petrol mower ourselves, first impressions are good. It looks the part; good build quality and looks sturdy enough to do a good job. Starting up the mower is easy with a quick pull of the starter handle and it should start first time every time due to the high quality Briggs & Stratton engine which are known for their reliability.
After adjusting the cutting height between 30mm and 80mm it is easy to start work using the self propelled machine to cover largish areas of grass in no time at all. The brilliant suction ensures that all the grass cuttings are easily pushed back into the grass box leaving no mess on your freshly cut lawn.
Once you’ve finished your lawn cut, and usually a lot faster than you would have thought, the mower is easy to clean by attaching a hose to the cleaning deck which washes out all the grass cuttings from underneath the machine without getting your hands dirty. All in all a great machine, built to last and get the job done quickly and efficiently.
