Overview
The Easy 4.60 SP-S is the entry level self-propelled petrol lawn mower in the AL-KO range. It offers everything the 1st time lawnmower buyer would be looking for from a power drive model. Power drive or self-propulsion propels the mower along without having to push it. Self-propelled lawnmowers are especially good if you have sloping ground so you don’t have to push it up hill. The 4.60 SPS is built on a steel deck with a 46 cm (18”) cutting width. The steel decks are hard wearing and designed to take the knocks of mowing a domestic lawn. A central cutting height adjustment lever lets you set the height from 30 – 75mm through 7 stages. The Easy 4.60 SP-S is powered by the AL-KO Tech 140 engine which gives excellent performance and economy. The mower is easy to handle with an ergonomic handlebar and XL wheels. Specifications
