Description
The Mountfield 1538H Petrol Garden Tractor is built for homeowners who need the performance and capacity to maintain larger lawns with ease. Ideal for properties up to 5,000m² or approximately 1.2 acres, this premium ride-on mower combines a powerful STIGA engine, hydrostatic transmission and a wide twin-blade cutting deck to deliver exceptional cutting performance with effortless operation.
At the heart of the 1538H is a robust STIGA ST 500 single-cylinder 452cc petrol engine, producing 7.9kW of reliable power. Designed to provide smooth performance, dependable starting and excellent fuel efficiency, the engine delivers the torque needed to tackle thick grass while maintaining a consistent cutting finish throughout the mowing season.
The generous 98cm twin-blade cutting deck allows large areas to be covered quickly while still offering excellent manoeuvrability around trees, borders and garden features. Seven cutting height positions, adjustable from 25mm to 80mm, make it easy to achieve the perfect finish whatever the season or grass conditions. Electric blade engagement allows the blades to be activated effortlessly at the touch of a switch.
A spacious 240-litre rear grass collector efficiently gathers clippings, leaving a clean and professional finish while reducing the number of stops needed for emptying. The collector is easily emptied from the driver’s seat, improving productivity during longer mowing sessions. For additional versatility, the supplied mulching plug allows grass clippings to be finely chopped and returned to the lawn as a natural fertiliser, while the included rear tow hitch enables the tractor to pull compatible trailers and garden accessories.
The pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, infinitely variable speed control without the need for manual gear changes. Simply press the forward or reverse pedal to adjust your speed, making the Mountfield 1538H exceptionally easy to drive and highly manoeuvrable when working around obstacles or navigating uneven terrain. Rear-wheel drive ensures excellent traction in a wide variety of mowing conditions.
Designed with operator comfort in mind, the 1538H features an ergonomic steering wheel, comfortable adjustable seat and intuitive controls that are easy to use throughout extended mowing sessions. A pivoting front axle improves stability over uneven ground, while conventional headlights, an LED dashboard, integrated storage compartment and cup holder all contribute to a more enjoyable mowing experience.
Routine maintenance is quick and straightforward thanks to the integrated deck washing link, allowing the underside of the cutter deck to be cleaned easily after use. Anti-scalp wheels help protect the lawn on uneven surfaces, while the robust construction ensures long-term durability. The Mountfield 1538H is supplied complete with a battery charger, mulching plug and tow hitch, providing excellent value and year-round versatility straight out of the box.
