Thanks to its mulching and side-discharge capabilities, the Mountfield 1538H-SD Lawn Tractor is equally at home on both long-grass areas and formal lawns. Its very high-performance 414cc STIGA engine drives a pedal-operated hydrostatic-drive, which gives you ultimate control over the ground-speed. Reverse gear can be selected instantly by depressing a separate pedal, so manoeuvrability is outstanding. Equipped with electric key-start, this quality lawn-tractor has a huge 98cm width-of-cut, making it ideal for areas of up to 6000m2.

With its Transmatic Shift-on-the-Go drive; 96cm working-width; and very high-volume grass-catcher; the Lawnflite 380 XT-S should be seriously considered by anyone wanting to mow an expansive lawn as quickly as possible. It offers side-discharge as standard (with bagging and mulching optional), so will cope easily with very long grass; and it has an amazingly tight turning-radius for such a substantial machine, meaning those awkward end-of-pass turns will prove hassle-free. Power comes from an ultra-reliable MTD engine with a capacious 3.8-litre fuel-tank for reduced down-time.
