Mountfield tractors offer the ideal solution for the bigger lawns and grounds

The trend to own a lawn tractor is increasing and here are three machines from leading manufacturer Mountfield with whom we have a special arrangement as we are their official on-line partner.

The first is the Mountfield 1430M Lawn Tractor, a genuine breakthrough in lawn tractors as this machine has twin blades giving a better cut across its 82 cm width.
There are seven cutting heights from 25 mm up to 80 mm for rougher areas and the airflow created by the two blades helps towards better grass collection.
An alarm sounds when the grass box is full, another clever innovation.
A 432 cc engine is another great feature, with oil pumped around the moving parts for greater lubrication. And there is a six speed gear box.
The seat is sprung and comfortable padded.
The grass box can hold 240 litres – unusually large – and can be emptied from the driver’s seat with a neat little handle.
Wheels with deep tread tyres help ease of handling and there are headlights to help you work when it gets dusk. A deflector kit and mulch plug are available as well.
Optional extras include a tow bar as well as the deflector kit and mulch plug.
There is a two year manufacturer’s warranty, the machine arrives delivered free within three to five working days and it costs £1399, £200 less than the manufacturer’s recommended price.
Another from the same company is the Mountfield 1538H-SD Lawn & Garden Tractor, a versatile machine suitable for lawns up to two acres.
It discharges cuttings to the side making it ideal for less formal areas but you can use it on lawns by mulching the cuttings and discharging them straight back.
It has a 14.5 hp engine and a variable speed hydrostatic drive to let you change speed on the go and give much better control and manoeuvrability.
There are seven cutting heights from 25 to 80 mm.
The tow bar is supplied as a standard fitting and the mulch plug is also free. Plus you can buy a push/tow poly trailer for just £99 when you buy this machine.
Delivery is free within three to five working days, there is a two year manufacturer’s warranty and it costs £1499, £100 off the manufacturer’s recommended price.
Another from the same manufacturer is the Mountfield 1540H Lawn & Garden Tractor a bigger machine again which is designed to take on areas up to two and a half acres.
With a 453 cc engine it is designed to be smooth running and economic and has a key start to make life even easier.
It too has a hydrostatic gear box making it even easier to drive and has a tight turning circle.
Cuttings can be either collected, mulched or discharged, so it is suitable for a wide variety of jobs.
And it has an audible alarm which sounds when the 260 litre box is full.
There is a simple way of washing the deck – just plug in a garden hose and wash out the rubbish.
There are seven cutting heights and a special mechanism to engage the blades reducing wear.
Plus headlights for when the going gets murky.
This garden tractor costs £2099, £300 off the manufacturer’s price, there is a five year warranty and free delivery with three to five working days.
