The Mountfield 1538M-SD side-discharge lawn tractor represents outstanding value for money and offers an effective solution for anyone who does not need or wishes to avoid collecting grass clippings. In tall growth conditions, such as that found in paddocks and orchards, the side discharge mode neatly cuts and spreads the grass so it can be left to wilt naturally. For areas that are being mown on a more regular basis and which require a smarter appearance, the mulching function cuts and re-cuts the grass into small particles which are blown down into the turf where they decompose, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. By mowing your grass on a more regular basis you will save time, effort and money without sacrificing the standard of finish. With its powerful 452cc Mountfield engine, 5 speed transmission and extra wide 98cm cut, the Mountfield 1538M SD tractor mower is suitable for lawn and garden areas up to 6000m2 and represents one of the best value lawn tractors available.
