About
Masport Limited commenced as a family owned manufacturing company in 1910 in Auckland, New Zealand. Since then the Masport brand has become a symbol for good quality, reliable outdoor equipment for generations of New Zealanders and now exports to over 40 countries worldwide.
Masport began with the introduction of an iron foundry in 1911 and started manufacturing vacuum pumps and stationary engines for a range of agricultural equipment. After establishing a solid base in the farming industry, Masport started to diversify producing its first hand mowers in 1930 and New Zealand’s first petrol-powered lawnmower in 1938.
With a growing reputation for engineering excellence, the company expanded off shore with an increasing range of agricultural, horticultural and lawn care products.
Today Masport specialises in outdoor power equipment such as lawnmowers. Masport's President® series lawnmowers combine the benefits of a top quality machine created for the lawn enthusiast, with support from the STIHL SHOP™ professional sales and service dealer network. Only STIHL SHOP™ Dealers can carry Masport's Green President® Series.

Masport President Features
Every Masport President Mower comes stacked with features. Check out the available features below and then look out for the corresponding icons that have the features you require when moving through the various models.
Masport President Blade Systems
For superior cutting, mulching and catching performance, Masport mowers are fitted with unique blades cutting systems. All these blade systems have a swingback feature, designed to help protect the engine crankshaft from damage should the mower hit a solid object.
Quickcut Blade System
The Masport Quickcut blade system is a top quality, specially designed blade system for cutting and mulching.
2 Blade Disc System
This blade disc system runs 2 swing back blades suitable for catching and mulching applications.
4 Blade Disc System
This blade disc system runs 4 swing back blades suitable for catching and mulching applications and is fitted on selected Masport President catching and mulching models.
Quadcut
4 Blade Disc System
A premium specially designed 4 swing back blade system. The ultimate choice for catching due to increased airflow.
Non Rust Alloy
Certain Masport President models feature an alloy chassis (body) that won't rust.
Zone Start
The conveniently positioned starter cord eliminates the need to bend all the way down to pull-start, reducing the risk of back strain.
Mulching
When you mulch there is less weight to push and no stopping to empty the catcher. The high-arch chassis design and the special blade means it also naturally recycles your grass by re-cutting the clippings and feeding them back into your lawn. You will save on watering and lawn fertilisers, as well as time.
Wash Port
Hose fitting point on the housing to clean the housing while the mower engine is running, increasing the life of the deck and improving cutting efficiency.
Self Propelled
Let the mower do the work. These models are fitted with a self drive system. All you need to do is squeeze the self propelled bail to the handle to propel the mower forward. This reduces pushing effort making mowing quicker and easier!
Dual Mowzone
With the blade coverage extending beyond the wheel width on both sides, the mower can cut closer to walls, kerbs and fences, giving a cleaner finish to your lawn.
Handle Lift System
The Handle Lift System allows you to quickly and easily access the catcher. Simply step on the foot pedal and lift the handle, it’s that easy! Once the handle is returned to the operating position, it will lock in firmly providing responsive handling.
It also reduces storage space.
Rear Discharge
With the rear discharge chute, the mower can be used effectively without a catcher. It is designed to work with Masport’s unique ‘high-arch’ housing and blade systems which generate great airflow. The grass is spread across the full width of the chute and directed downward.
Wider Cut
Certain Masport President mowers feature a wider cut than your standard mower so you can cover more ground on each pass.
