Combining a multitude of top-end features with rock-solid construction and impressive flexibility of use, the top-of-the-range Mountfield 2448H-SD will appeal to exacting homeowners looking to get that bit of extra quality for their money.

Under the cowling lies a Briggs & Stratton Intek 8240-Series engine; a 724cc professional-specification electric-start unit that blends a classic V-Twin cylinder-configuration with the U.S. market-leader’s OHV technology for high-torque performance with reduced vibration, noise, emissions and fuel-costs.

A mechanical governor manages engine-speed in order to deliver more usable power and torque when heavy loads are encountered; while cast-iron cylinder-sleeves, full-pressure lubrication and a two-stage air-filter guarantee you’ll enjoy season after season of unwavering reliability.

The Mountfield 2448H-SD Garden Tractor is supplied with an extra-wide 121cm cutter-deck that can be set-up to either mulch or side-discharge clippings, thereby ensuring you’ll be able to achieve equally excellent results whether you’re mowing a neat formal lawn or overgrown outlying area.

Deck-features include a wash-out port for quick and easy cleaning of the undercarriage; and turf-protecting gauge-wheels that prevent gouging when turning on rolling ground.

Thanks to its hydrostatic drive, which provides infinite-increment speed-control via a foot-pedal, the Mountfield 2448H-SD offers intuitive manoeuvrability and will therefore prove a good choice if your grounds contain trees, landscaping and other obstacles.

A robust bumper protects the front of the engine from any accidental impact; while high-powered twin headlights allow for extended working-hours.

Comfort-features include a cruise-control function and cup-holder; convenience-features include electronic blade-engagement and spring-assisted height-of-cut adjustment.

Designed for use outside the growing-season too, this model comes with a tow-hitch and is powerful enough to pull heavy-duty attachments.
