Product details and specs
The 1538M-SD is a superb side-discharge tractor. This machine is powered by STIGA 452cc ST 500 petrol engine with a net power output of 6.5kW @ 2800rpm. The manual transmission offers five forward and one reverse gear. This attractive, modern ride-on is slick, efficient, and powerful. The twin-blade cutting deck with 2 anti-scalp wheels ensures an excellent precision cut. As a dedicated side-discharge machine this mower is excellent when grass growth is fast, however, you could choose to mulch the clippings using a mulching plug/plate (available as an optional extra) that is simple to fit. When mulching, the clippings are finely cut and blown back down onto the lawn to decompose and return valuable nutrients to the soil With a 98cm cutting width, the 1538M-SD is compact and easy to manoeuvre and will take up less space than a collecting tractor. Suitable for areas of up to 2 acres, these machines are among the best value tractors on the market and come with a five-year extended warranty.

Useful information
The Mountfield 1538M-SD 98cm Side Discharge Lawn Tractor was our best selling side discharge mower of 2021 The Mountfield 1538M SD is worth considering if you have lawns that are up to 6,000m2 in size and include paddocks or orchards. It has the same engine and transmission as the Mountfield 1530M. However, it has a wider cutting width of 98 cm and no grass collector box. Instead, shred grass clippings or side-eject longer, coarser grasses while mowing formal lawns. This cuts the time needed to trim big areas by up to 30%. There are seven different cut heights, ranging from 25mm for more formal lawns to 80mm for uneven or damp grass. The cutting quality is excellent, and the twin blades efficiently shred the grass cuttings. Like other Mountfield ride-on mowers, If this machine does go out or stock, you can always look at the Stiga Tornado 398m as it is the same but yellow. This model is changing name to Mountfield MTF 98M SD
