Masport Contractor 21" Self-Propelled Petrol Rotary Mower
The Contractor is exactly what the name suggests — a machine designed from the ground up for professional landscaping use, not domestic mowing. Every component is specified heavier and built to withstand daily commercial use across a full working season, and the specification reflects that from the 190cc engine down to the precision sealed ball bearings in the wheels.
The 190cc Briggs & Stratton 850EX OHV engine with Ready Start powers the 52cm Quickcut™ blade through overgrown and heavy grass without labouring, and the three-speed alloy gearbox gives the operator genuine control over pace — matching ground speed to conditions rather than being locked to a single drive speed. That three-speed system combined with the heavy-duty gearbox construction is one of the features that separates a true commercial machine from a domestic self-propelled mower with commercial aspirations.
The 80-litre fabric catcher with dust cover is one of the largest available on a walk-behind mower, significantly reducing emptying frequency on larger jobs. The reinforced handle system features a larger diameter upper tube in heavier gauge steel with PVC grip, two-piece lower handle for easy catcher access, and adjustable handle position knobs — details that reflect the ergonomic demands of all-day professional use. The cast aluminium wheels with precision sealed bearings and synthetic rubber tyres are built to handle repeated use on varied terrain without wear becoming an issue.
Zone start, OPC controls, aluminium wheel hubs, bumper housing protection, and a rear discharge chute for safe operation without the catcher complete the specification. A 2-year commercial user warranty backs it up.
