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, effortless self-propelled operation, and outstanding value for money, it’s designed to make maintaining your lawn quicker, easier, and more enjoyable.
Powerful, Reliable Performance
At the heart of the Spectrum TG42PD is a robust 139cc petrol engine, delivering more power than its predecessor, the TG40PD, while maintaining remarkably easy starting. 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 or cutting through thicker grass, the TG42PD provides the performance you need for consistently excellent results.
Precision Cutting for the Perfect Finish
Featuring a generous 40cm cutting width, the TG42PD is ideal for lawns up to 400m², helping you complete the job quickly and efficiently.
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. From a neatly manicured finish to a longer, healthier cut during warmer months, achieving the perfect result is effortless.
Built to Last
The durable steel cutter deck provides outstanding strength and longevity, making the TG42PD a mower you can rely on season after season.
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 enhanced grip and manoeuvrability, the TG42PD handles uneven terrain and longer grass with ease.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
Mowing shouldn’t be hard work. That’s why the Spectrum TG42PD features ergonomically designed soft-grip handles that improve comfort and reduce fatigue during longer mowing sessions.
The adjustable and foldable handle design allows the mower to be tailored to your preferred working position and folded away neatly for compact storage when not in use.
Efficient Grass Collection and Mulching
The large 40-litre grass collector efficiently gathers clippings as you mow, helping to keep your lawn looking tidy while reducing interruptions for emptying. Alternatively, pop in the mulch plug and spend less time stopping and more time getting the job done.
Enhanced Safety as Standard
For added peace of mind, the TG42PD is equipped with an Operator Presence Control (OPC) system. If the handle is released, the blade and engine stop automatically, helping to ensure safe operation at all times.
Lightweight and Easy to Manoeuvre
Weighing just 23kg, the TG42PD remains impressively manoeuvrable for a petrol lawnmower. The self-propelled drive, large wheels, and balanced design work together to make navigating around obstacles and garden features effortless.
Backed by an Outstanding 5-Year Warranty
Buy with confidence knowing your Spectrum TG42PD is supported by an industry-leading 5-year domestic warranty (terms and conditions apply), reflecting Spectrum’s commitment to quality, durability, and customer satisfaction.

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.
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

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!

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.
