New for 2025! The premium Mountfield 1538H hydrostatic twin-bladed lawn tractor is a truly versatile and hard working machine. This lawn tractor is ideal for lawns of up to 4000m2 and designed to cut wider than the wheel length, which means there will be a very minimal amount of trimming to take care of afterwards, saving you valuable time and effort.
Easy to operate and a pleasure to drive, the comfy seat is fully adjustable and the dashboard features an LED display. Reaching a top speed of 8.1km/h, this Mountfield 1538H hydrostatic twin-bladed lawn tractor is easy to operate and you will get your mowing finished in record time. The headlights add to its safety features and ensure you can work for longer, even in fading light.
Featuring a smooth hydrostatic transmission you can choose from an infinite amount of speeds, whether you are in forward or reverse gear. To move forward simply press the pedal until you reach the desired speed. To slow down simply lift your foot off the pedal. To reverse you press the back part of the pedal. It's worth noting that on the whole, customers who buy a hydrostatic model state that they would not want to go back to the manual version! Set the pace to suit your surroundings and take pleasure in the ultra-smooth gear changes. The 98cm working cutting width, together with the light steering and tight turning circle means you can maneuver easily around obstacles in your garden and also carefully mow along edges and borders.
The high-powered Stiga 452cc ST500 engine has been designed to be economical and efficient and will require a minimal amount of servicing and maintenance over its long life. To bring this smooth running lawn tractor to life you simply turn the electric key to start and you’re set to go. Engaging the cutter deck is super simple too - pull out the control switch for “On” and push it in for “Off”.
Seven cutting heights that range from the lowest setting at 25mm upto the highest setting of 80mm ensure your Mountfield 1538H hydrostatic twin bladed lawn tractor is versatile and ready for any length of grass that you need it for. You can change the settings from the driving seat and you won’t need any additional tools, in fact you can change the height “on the go” making this model incredibly versatile if you have different areas or lengths of grass in your garden.
Whilst you are mowing you are hardly likely to notice the hard work going on inside the stylish interior of this Mountfield 1538H lawn tractor. But take it from us, the grass is being very efficiently cut thanks to the twin blades and it will be cleanly blown into the 240 litre grass collector. Before you know it, an alarm will sound and you will know it's time to empty the collector before it gets over full. It's easy and fun to empty the collector, simply reverse up to your compost heap, pull the lever and say goodbye to your cut grass!
A mulch plug is included and if mulched grass sounds like mushed grass to you then fear not, this premium lawn mower has such a modern mulching system that you will barely notice the mulched grass on your lawn. It will be finely cut and left in neat lines where it will act as a nutrient rich and natural lawn fertilizer. It contains everything your grass needs, to remain green and healthy. You won’t need to buy additional lawn fertilizing products, saving you money and time. You can also purchase a tow bar which fits this model. If your grass is too long to mulch and you don’t want to collect it you can choose to discharge it back onto your lawn by fitting a rear deflector to the machine and this is also an optional extra which can be purchased separately. This is ideal if your grass has become very long or you have larger areas that you want to mow quickly. You can easily change between mulching, collecting or discharging in a matter of seconds - Mountfield suggest it takes less than a minute. You simply remove the collector, insert the mulching plug into the discharge chute and replace the collector. To return to collection simply reverse the procedure.
The deck wash facility is incredibly useful for keeping the deck free from dirt and grass, prolonging its life and ensuring its 100% ready to go for next time. Simply attach your garden hose and use the power jet of water to wash it all away.
Highly manoeuvrable, the Mountfield 1538H is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission of both forward & reverse gears and has a turning-circle of just 140cm. Twin-headlights facilitate safe operation when visibility isn’t great; while an adjustable high-backed seat ensures long hours of comfortable.
The included towing hitch will open-up a whole new and exciting world of accessories and activities for you and your garden tractor. This is a wonderful garden tractor for lawns up to around one and a half acres and for gardeners wanting the easiest of mowing sessions.
Mountfield offer a generous 5 Year warranty* (Terms & conditions apply) with this product.
A mulching plug is supplied, and thanks to the incredibly efficient mulching system on the Mountfield 1538H lawn tractor it is highly recommended. If conditions are suitable and you choose to mulch your grass then you will be returning vital nutrients back to your lawn in the form of a rich and natural fertilizer. You won’t need to spend time and money buying and applying additional lawn fertilizing products, which is great news for you and your wallet!
A trailer hitch is also supplied, allowing you to use many other labour saving accessories, including tow-behind trailers, spreaders, dethatchers and sweepers.


This lawn tractor includes a mulching plug, and its efficient mulching system is highly recommended for lawn care. Mulching naturally returns nutrients to the soil as grass clippings decompose, acting as a rich fertilizer that promotes healthy growth. This reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, saving you both time and money while keeping your lawn lush and green.
This lawn tractor also features a trailer hitch, allowing you to attach accessories like trailers, spreaders, dethatchers, and sweepers. These attachments streamline tasks such as transporting tools, spreading fertilizer, or clearing debris, making the tractor a versatile tool for year-round lawn care.

Mountfield have been one of the UK's best selling lawn mower brands since the 1960s. They’ve built a reputation for quality and reliability through their wide range of products. Mountfield first began manufacturing rotary lawn mowers in 1962 at their premises in Maidenhead, Berkshire. Despite the fact that today’s machines have very little resemblance to their ancestors, Mountfield garden machinery has always been made with high quality and good value for money in mind.
Mountfield aim to make gardening as pleasurable an experience as possible, and manufacture their products accordingly. Over the years they have continually developed their products to ensure they are both meeting and out-performing consumer expectations. Today they don’t just specialise in manufacturing of lawn mowers. They have a whole range of products to ensure that many gardening needs are met efficiently, from ride on mowers, to multi-tools and garden shredders.
Mountfield's lawn mower range is extensive. With hand pushed models, self propelled models, petrol, electric and cordless, there is something for just about everyone.
They produce 2 types of ride on mower; Lawn riders which are small enough to fit through a garden gate and a perfect choice for small to medium sized lawns and garden tractors for larger lawns. Mountfield’s hand-held range of garden machinery includes grass trimmers and brush cutters, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws. They are all designed to be lightweight and easy to use. They are suitable for both domestic and professional users.
Mountfield have recently released their Freedom 48 range of cordless garden machinery. Once you have purchased a battery and a charger, you can use them for any of the product in the range as they all use the same battery.
