Masport President 3000 mower for cutting, collecting and mulching
After years of manufacturing everything from vacuum pumps to agricultural equipment and military munitions, Masport Limited is now focused on manufacturing high quality outdoor equipment. This Masport lawnmower review features the Masport President 3000, a single-speed self-propelled lawnmower that can mow your lawn in three different ways.
One of the main features of this mower is its versatile cutting mechanism. You can switch between three different grass cutting modes: grass cutting, harvesting and mulching. The latter makes it possible to cut and recycle the grass by returning it to the ground. By discharging and evenly distributing the clippings to one side, Smartchute® technology makes the shredding process even more efficient. The mower is powered by a 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine and thanks to Ready Start® technology, you don’t have to prep it to start. Another welcome feature is the “full” indicator on the control panel, which lets you know when the bin is full.
As for the potential downsides of the Masport President 3000, the tread wheels stick out like a sore thumb. If you have a flat yard with few or no obstacles, you’ll be able to get out of it with the occasional adjustment, but if the ground is uneven, the wheels can literally fall off after a while. Bearings on this model just aren’t strong enough, and when they wear out they can cause a problem pretty quickly. It can also lead to chassis issues, but with frequent wheel adjustments you can probably avoid them.
