Mountfield 1736H Twin Lawn Tractor
£2,899.00 £2,599.00
The Mountfield 1636H Twin is a 92cm working width model with a hydrostatic transmission. This high specification garden tractor is suitable for lawns up to 2 acres. This tractor now features the new powerful and smooth running Mountfield ST550 V-Twin engine. Light steering and a tight turning circle make it easy to manoeuvre around trees, borders and garden furniture with the minimum of effort. All Mountfield garden tractors cut wider than the wheel width, which means there is little trimming left to do after the lawns have been mown.
A hydrostatic transmission is similar in many ways to the gearbox on an automatic car, forward and reverse speeds are infinitely variable. To move forward, you simply press the front section of the pedal; the more firmly you press, the faster you will go. For reverse, press the rear section of the pedal. You can change from forward to reverse instantly, so manoeuvrability is fantastic. It is worth noting that once a customer owns a hydrostatic Mountfield tractor they don’t want to go back to a manual version.
Grass cuttings are blown cleanly from the twin bladed cutter deck into a large capacity rear mounted collector. An alarm sounds to let you know when the collector is full, a valuable feature as there is nothing worse than overfilling the collector and then having to unblock the discharge chute by hand – at least you know when the collector is full on a Mountfield!
Emptying the collector is done from the driving seat; just extend the lever on the collector and pull, the collector opens wide emptying out the clippings, no need to leave your seat. The seat is also adjustable for added comfort and ease of use.
Engaging the cutter deck couldn’t be easier; pull out the control switch for “On” and push it in for “Off”. The deck has seven preset cutting heights ranging from 25mm to 80mm selected by using the lever located conveniently beside the seat.
A deck wash facility means keeping the deck clean couldn’t be simpler; just attach a hose to the snap-on connector, turn on the water and engage the blades. Water blasts around beneath the deck washing it clean – job done!
