These Mountfield lawn tractors provide a highly effective solution if you don't want to collect your grass clippings. Instead of discharging clippings into a collector these mulching tractors retain them beneath the cutter deck to be cut and re-cut into small particles which are blown down into the lawn where they decompose and return valuable nutrients to the soil. Mow your grass on a regular basis and you'll save time, money and effort without sacrificing the standard of finish.

At times the growth may be too vigorous to mulch effectively. In these conditions simply select the side discharge function; grass will be neatly cut and spread allowing it to wilt naturally. Both the 1538M-SD and 12538H-SD are powered by a single cylinder ST 500 STIGA engine.

You have a choice of either a 5-speed manual transmission (1538M-SD) or the added convenience of a hydrostatic transmission (1538H-SD) - akin to an automatic car's transmission. Slick, efficient and powerful, the twin blade cutting deck, with a 98cm cutting width, ensure a superb precision cut.

Their compact size also makes them very easy to manoeuvre as well as taking up less storage space compared to a collecting tractor.

Suitable for areas of up to 2 acres, these machine are surely among the best value lawn tractors on the market.
