Product Details & Features
The Mountfield 1538M-SD Side Discharge and Mulch 38" Ride-On Lawn Mower is a powerful and versatile petrol garden tractor designed for efficiently maintaining large lawns and open spaces. Built to handle demanding mowing conditions, this ride-on mower combines strong engine performance with flexible cutting options, making it ideal for users who prefer not to collect grass clippings.
Powered by a robust STIGA ST400 414cc engine, the 1538M-SD delivers consistent power and smooth operation across large areas. Its wide 98 cm twin-blade cutting deck allows fast coverage, while the side-discharge system efficiently disperses grass clippings, making it particularly effective for longer or thicker grass. A mulching plug is also included, allowing clippings to be finely chopped and returned to the lawn as natural fertiliser.
