Description
The Mountfield 1538H-SD Petrol Garden Tractor is designed for homeowners and landowners who need to maintain larger lawns, orchards, paddocks and rougher grass with maximum efficiency. Unlike traditional collecting garden tractors, the 1538H-SD uses a dedicated side-discharge system, allowing you to mow quickly without stopping to empty a grass collector. Ideal for areas up to 5,000m² or approximately 2 acres, it delivers excellent productivity while maintaining outstanding manoeuvrability.
Powered by a dependable STIGA ST 450 single-cylinder 432cc petrol engine producing 7.5kW, the Mountfield 1538H-SD delivers smooth, reliable performance for demanding mowing tasks. The engine provides excellent torque for tackling longer or thicker grass while maintaining fuel-efficient operation and dependable starting throughout the mowing season.
Its wide 98cm twin-blade cutting deck enables large areas to be covered quickly while delivering an even, consistent finish. Seven cutting height positions ranging from 25mm to 80mm allow you to adapt the mower to changing lawn conditions throughout the year. Electric blade engagement provides effortless operation, while reverse mowing capability adds flexibility when working around obstacles or in confined areas.
The dedicated side-discharge system efficiently disperses grass clippings across the lawn, making this tractor particularly well suited to longer grass, paddocks and less formal areas where collecting is unnecessary. For a finer finish, the supplied mulching plate allows clippings to be finely chopped and returned to the turf, recycling valuable nutrients back into the soil and reducing the need for artificial fertilisers.
A pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission provides infinitely variable speed control without manual gear changes. Simply press the forward or reverse pedal to adjust your speed, making the Mountfield 1538H-SD exceptionally easy to drive. Rear-wheel drive delivers excellent traction across a variety of ground conditions, while the compact chassis and 70cm minimum uncut radius make manoeuvring around trees, borders and garden features straightforward.
Designed for comfort during extended mowing sessions, the 1538H-SD features an ergonomic steering wheel, comfortable driver’s seat, convenient storage compartment, integrated cup holder and conventional headlights for improved visibility. A pivoting front axle enhances stability on uneven terrain, while anti-scalp wheels help protect the lawn when mowing over undulating ground.
Maintenance is quick and simple thanks to the integrated washing link, allowing the cutting deck to be cleaned easily using a standard garden hose after use. The tractor is supplied with both a mulching plate and rear tow hitch, enabling it to tow compatible trailers and garden accessories for year-round versatility. A battery charger is available separately.
The Mountfield 1538H-SD Petrol Garden Tractor is the ideal choice for homeowners and landowners looking for a powerful side-discharge ride-on mower with hydrostatic transmission, a wide 98cm cutting deck and versatile mulching capability. Combining dependable STIGA engine performance, effortless operation and fast mowing productivity, the Mountfield 1538H-SD is perfect for maintaining larger lawns, paddocks and rough grass with professional results.
