Mountfield 1538H-SD

The new Mountfield 1538H-SD is an extremely hardworking and reliable side-discharge garden tractor. One of our best selling models, this machine is easy to start and will give you many years of service. Perfectly capable of giving your lawn the perfect finish you will soon find that it is also easy to operate and fun to drive. The intelligent engineers at Mountfield have put everything they’ve got into this high-end model it seems - and therefore we believe that this robust garden tractor is worth every penny of its price tag.

You’ll love the smooth hydrostatic transmission, there’s no gear changes here, thank you very much! Simply press or depress the pedal to select the speed you want and off you go. You can reach dizzying speeds of up to 8.8km/h meaning you can work as fast or as slowly as you want. Whatever speed you choose you’ll be doing so from the comfort of your seat where you’re assured of excellent visibility all round and plenty of leg room. Getting on and off is a breeze too - but thanks to the handy electric start and snazzy headlights you’ll probably feel like staying on all day! For your safety there’s even some parking brakes which come as standard on this model.

Manoeuvrability is at the heart of this garden tractor from Mountfield. With its tight turning circle you would be forgiven for asking “how do they do it”? You’ve got this powerful machine that can seemingly mow around trees and edges and borders with the minimum of fuss, it's almost too good to be true! It is true though! And this is thanks to its compact size of course, and thanks to the lack of a collector bag this compact machine is easier to drive and park and simple to fit into your shed at the end of the day. You’ve got all the features you need to get your garden looking great but the machine itself has been compacted a little bit to ensure you can get the most out of your ride-on.

This model offers you not one but two blades - that’s right the Mountfield 1538H-SD features a twin bladed cutting deck with a very generous 98cm width, giving you a precise cut and allowing you to efficiently maintain around 2 acres of land. You even get 7 pre-set cutting heights (25mm to 80mm) which means not only can you tackle a variety of grass lengths but you can also cut the lawn to whatever length you want. The powerful 432cc Stiga ST450 OHV petrol engine offers you all the power and reliability you need, making this a truly excellent model.

Did we mention that the Mountfield 1538H-SD is an excellent mulching machine? A mulching kit comes as standard with this machine. Thanks to the double bladed system this model will cut the grass extremely efficiently and if you use a mulching kit it will be returned to your lawn where it will add vital nutrients to your grass to ensure green and healthy growth. This saves you time and money and is a totally natural product - ideal for if you have pets or children around.

The Mountfield 1538H-SD is a super mulching tractor (when paired with the mulching kit). The lack of a collector on the back is a blessing when it comes to doing the right thing for your lawn! The finely cut clippings are returned to the lawn as you mow, as rich mulch which is packed with all the goodness and nutrients that your grass needs to remain lush and healthy. You won't need to buy additional lawn fertilizer and you won't need to waste time and effort applying it - your grass is being fertilized as you mow! If your grass is too long to mulch then you can choose the side discharge option - the grass will be neatly blown back onto your lawn, allowing you to mulch next time.

On the first day that your new Mountfield ride-on arrives you may be in awe of its shiny red exterior and be left wondering how you’ll keep it looking its best. A simple garden hose-down at the end of the day and maybe a quick polish should do the trick but don’t forget the handy washing link is there for you for when you need to clean out the cutting deck. This process ensures dried-on grass does not make a problem for you, and keeps your machine in excellent condition all year long.

Suitable for areas of up to 2 acres, this Mountfield 1538H-SD side discharge lawn tractor is part of a range that are among the best value tractors on the market and to give you the ultimate peace of mind this model comes with a Mountfield five-year extended warranty. (T&C's apply).

To make your tractor more versatile, a tow hitch and mulching kit are included.
