“completely agree with the first review - this looks...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 03/04/2011

completely agree with the first review - this looks like a solid mower, but it's really quite flimsy, the mulching facility is useless if you're cutting more than 2 cm of grass or the grass is a bit damp, the deck gets clogged and you end up having to rake the grass up - not brilliant if you're mowing around 2 acres! we've also had problems with belts getting shredded @ £95 a pair... and the throttle refuses to idle...
not recommended at all, in fact, I'd do my best to dissuade anybody from buying one...
Plus I would certainly not buy another mulching only machine - it just doesn't work in the UK unless you can afford to mow the grass twice a week...
Another thought, now we're in the days of the £6 gallon - this thing drinks a fair bit of fuel...

“We bought our Mountfield 1438M SD ride on lawn mower...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 710gerry on 27/07/2005

We bought our Mountfield 1438M SD ride on lawn mower last year. We followed the advice of the sales person suggesting that this machine was reasonably well built, and could last for at least the next five years. We got it serviced after the first season but this (the second) summer we had several problems with the cutting deck and the belt. Also, the mulching facility is not what we were told. The grass clippings are not really mulched when the grass is longer than about half an inch. This model does not come with a grass box and can not be added either.

Fortunately, the 5 yrs manufacturer's warranty meant the deck problems were fixed almost free of charge, but I would advise anyone to think very carefully before buying one.
