Suited for small to medium sized lawns up to approx. 20m x 20m the HYM430SPE features a cutting width of 420mm.

The HYM430SPE features rear discharge, mulching and grass collection options. With a spacious quick release 45L hard top polypropylene/polyester fabric grass catcher bag, you will spend less time emptying the cuttings and more time mowing.
