Spectrum TG42PD Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower

Best-in-Class Performance, Reliability & Value

If you’re looking for a dependable, powerful and easy-to-use petrol lawnmower for a small to medium-sized garden, the Spectrum TG42PD stands out from the crowd. Combining exceptional build quality, a rugged and powerful engine, effortless self-propelled operation and outstanding value for money, it’s designed to make maintaining your lawn quicker, easier and more enjoyable.

With super quick delivery, you can get your new mower up and running without unnecessary delays, while our superior industry-leading 5-year warranty provides complete confidence in your investment.

The Most Rugged, Powerful & Easy-Start Engine in Its Class

At the heart of the Spectrum TG42PD is a robust 139cc petrol engine, designed to deliver exceptional power, reliability and effortless starting. Building on the success of its predecessor, the TG40PD, this upgraded engine delivers increased performance and is designed to be one of the most rugged, powerful and easy-start engines in its class.

The reliable recoil-start system gets you up and running with minimal effort, while the self-propelled drive system takes the hard work out of mowing, allowing you to cover larger areas comfortably and efficiently.

Whether you’re tackling regular lawn maintenance, thick summer growth or lush green grass, the TG42PD delivers dependable cutting power and consistently excellent results.

Powerful Steel Cutting Blade for the Perfect Finish

Featuring a 40cm cutting width and a strong, durable steel cutting blade, the TG42PD is engineered to power effortlessly through thick, lush green grass, delivering a clean, precise and consistent finish.

It’s not just ideal for summer mowing either. During autumn, the powerful cutting system can also help collect fallen leaves and other light garden debris, keeping your lawn looking neat and tidy throughout the changing seasons. With the included mulching functionality, suitable leaves and grass clippings can also be finely chopped and returned to the lawn.

The convenient single-lever height adjustment system offers 7 cutting positions ranging from 25mm to 75mm, giving you complete control over your lawn’s appearance.

With a recommended mowing area of up to 400m², the TG42PD is perfectly suited to small and medium-sized gardens.

Built Tough to Last Season After Season

The durable steel cutter deck provides outstanding strength and longevity, making the TG42PD a lawnmower you can rely on year after year.

Premium ball-bearing mounted wheels deliver smoother operation, reduced wear and greater durability compared to lower-cost bush-mounted alternatives.

Combined with large rear wheels for improved grip and manoeuvrability, the TG42PD handles uneven ground, thicker grass and everyday garden challenges with ease.

Easy Folding Handles for Convenient, Compact Storage

The Spectrum TG42PD has been designed to make mowing and storage as convenient as possible.

Its easy-folding handle system allows you to quickly fold the handles down when the mower isn’t in use, significantly reducing the space required for storage. Whether you’re keeping it in a garden shed, garage or smaller storage area, the TG42PD can be packed away neatly and efficiently.

The adjustable handles also allow you to find a comfortable working position, while the ergonomic soft-grip design helps reduce fatigue during longer mowing sessions.

Efficient Grass, Leaf & Autumn Debris Collection

The generous 40-litre grass collector efficiently gathers grass clippings as you mow, reducing the need for frequent emptying and helping to leave your lawn looking beautifully tidy.

The TG42PD is also a practical choice for autumn garden maintenance. Its powerful engine and steel cutting blade help lift and collect fallen leaves and other suitable light autumn debris from your lawn.

Alternatively, fit the mulch plug to finely chop grass clippings and suitable dry leaves, returning them to the lawn as natural organic material.

This versatile cutting and collection system makes the TG42PD a useful garden companion throughout the mowing season and into autumn.

Lightweight, Self-Propelled & Easy to Manoeuvre

Weighing just 23kg, the TG42PD remains impressively manoeuvrable for a powerful petrol lawnmower.

The self-propelled drive takes the strain out of pushing, while the large wheels and balanced design make navigating around trees, flowerbeds and garden obstacles simple and comfortable.

Enhanced Safety as Standard

For added peace of mind, the TG42PD features an Operator Presence Control (OPC) system.

When the operator releases the control handle, the engine and cutting blade stop automatically, providing an important additional safety feature during operation.

Super Quick Delivery – Get Mowing Sooner

Why wait to get your garden looking its best?

The Spectrum TG42PD is available with super quick delivery, helping you get your new petrol lawnmower delivered and ready for use as soon as possible.

Whether you’re replacing an older machine or upgrading to a more powerful self-propelled model, you can get back to maintaining your lawn with minimal delay.

7 reviews for Spectrum TG42PD Self-Propelled Petrol Lawnmower

  1. Edwina Dobson –

    It took me less than 30 minutes to set up out of the box. Filled it with oil and petrol, and it fired up on the very first smooth recoil pull. It loses one star just because the user manual could have slightly clearer diagrams, but the machine itself is flawless.

  2. James Hampshire –

    The machine is great, but it really needs a bigger grass box, which I felt was a bit difficult to replace after emptying

  3. Dave –

    Got this last week. Its what it says it is a powerful self propelled easy to start mowing machine. Great

  4. Nathan –

    Really good machine. Starts first time, plenty of power. easy to move around. it is a good collecting machine and works well as a mulcher. seems very weill built. very pleased

  5. Stuart Rollings –

    I am incredibly impressed with the Spectrum TG42PD. For the price, getting a self-propelled petrol mower with a solid steel deck is fantastic value. It feels sturdy without being overly heavy or clunky to manoeuvre. Highly recommend it!

  6. Cindy –

    What a super purchase. Really easy to build and so easy to start. Leaves a great smooth finish The height of grass height is easy to control and very easy to get in and out of the shed. The handle fold easy for storage our shed is full of clutter so every inch helps!

  7. Donald O’Sullivan –

    Only had the machine a couple of weeks and have used 3 times. The plus side the ordering process was very easy and the delivery was quick and efficient. Slight negative, and it’s really picky, I would have loved an electric start.
