1538H-SD Side-Discharge Garden Tractor by Mountfield

1538H-SD Side-Discharge Garden Tractor by Mountfield1538H-SD Side-Discharge Garden Tractor by Mountfield

The Mountfield 1538H-SD 98cm lawn tractor comes highly recommended. Easy to operate, this modern Mountfield 1538H-SD is a pleasure to use and a joy to own. Robustly built by the expert engineers at Mountfield this lawn tractor will give you years and years of trustworthy and reliable service, and will be a worthy investment. Easy to start with the electric key, together with the headlights and parking brake ensure this lawn tractor is easy and safe to operate.

Fitted with an ultra smooth and simplistic hydrostatic transmission you can select the speed you need by simply pressing or depressing the pedal. The hydrostatic transmission works in the same way as an automatic car, there are no gear changes to contend with, just a simple pedal that you press or depress to choose your speed. Reaching a top speed of 8.8km/h you can set the pace to suit your surroundings, and you have the ability to work as fast or as slow as you like.

Highly manoeuvrable thanks to its compact design, tight turning circle and lack of a collector bag on the back - you can get into corners, around obstacles and up to edges and borders with the greatest of ease. The twin bladed cutting deck is a generous 98cm and will ensure that you can easily achieve a precision cut and efficiently maintain around 2 acres of land. The Mountfield 1538H-SD has 7 pre-set cutting heights ranging from a low 25mm to 80mm when at the hightest setting.

The powerful 450cc Stiga ST450 OHV petrol engine is powerful, smooth and economical. Built to last you won't need to do much in the way of maintenance, just regular servicing as normal, and this engine will give you years of trouble free mowing. Its compact design means you won't need a massive shed to store it in, so if space is at a premium then you can't go wrong with the Mountfield 1538H-SD lawn tractor.

The Mountfield 1538H-SD is a super mulching tractor (optional mulch kit available). 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.

At the end of a busy day you may be faced with the job of giving your Mountfield 1538H-SD a good clean down. A thankless task and one which you might not feel like doing after a hard day in the garden but the clever onboard washing link makes this less of a chore - all you need to do is attach your garden hose and use the powerful jet of water to free your cutting deck of dirt and loose grass clippings.

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).

A mulching plug is supplied, and thanks to the incredibly efficient mulching system on the Mountfield 1538H-SD 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.

3 year warranty (Terms & Conditions apply)

Maximize Lawn Health with the Mountfield 1538H-SD Garden Tractor's Mulching System

The Mountfield 1538H-SD 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.

Enhance Versatility with the Supplied Trailer Hitch

The Mountfield 1538H-SD 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

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.
