The 1543H-SD is a fantastic side discharge, mulching lawn tractor.

Up-graded for 2021, the 1543H-SD is now powered by STIGA with the ST500 452cc single cylinder engine for added power to cut through the toughest of lawns. With no bulky collection basket present, it is also highly manoeuvrable.

The 108cm twin bladed cutting deck makes light work of large grass areas and the hydrostatic transmission, akin to the automatic transmission in cars, is slick. There are seven cutting heights all selected using one lever and a simple flick of a switch engages the blades.

This mulching machine cuts the grass into fine pieces and then blows them down onto the surface of the lawn. They wilt, rot down and release valuable nutrients back into the soil to aid strong growth. This saves you the money usually spent on lawn fertilisers and time emptying clipping collectors.

If mulching isn't possible - the grass is way too long after a few weeks holiday or a prolonged spell of wet weather - simply choose the side-discharge arm to blow clippings away from the lawn.

A towing hitch is included making the 1543H-SD ready to use with a variety of towed accessories that are available as optional extras. And of course, the 1543H-SD comes with a reassuring five-year extended warranty.
