If you want to move up from a rider to a lawn tractor, the Mountfield 1430M is the perfect choice. With a 33” (84cm) width of cut, the 1430M has a slightly wider cut than many of the riders on the market. Most lawn tractors of this size use a single blade but the 1430M uses two contra-rotating blades for an improved cut and collection.
This model features 5 forward gears allowing you to select the most appropriate speed for the task at hand. If you get into a corner, you can easily select reverse gear and turn around.
The blades are engaged electronically via a switch on the dashboard. Once cutting is underway, the grass clippings are fed effortlessly into the 240 litre grass collector by the ‘direct collect’ system. When the collector is full, a warning tone sounds and the collector can easily be emptied from the sitting position.
The height of cut is adjusted by a single lever offering cutting heights between 25 and 80mm. So, whether it is a lawn, orchard or roadside verge you are cutting, there will be a height of cut to suit.
When cutting is finished, a wash port allows grass clippings to be cleaned from the underside of the cutter deck without you ever needing to go near the blades.
To add to the versatility of this lawn tractor, a rear deflector chute is available if grass collection is not required. A mulching kit and towing hitch are also available.
For your peace of mind, Mountfield cover this lawn tractor with their 2 year domestic use warranty.
