This is the first lawn tractor in the sub 84cm category to feature a twin bladed cutting system. The blades contra rotate and direct grass cuttings through the wide rear discharge chute into the collector. A twin bladed deck gives a better finish than one with a single blade. Collection is cleaner and more powerful due to the direct centre rear discharge, in conjunction with the throw and air volume generated by two blades. The cutting result is also visibly improved as a twin bladed deck follows the ground contours better and is therefore less likely to scalp the grass. Cutting heights range from 25mm to 80mm with 7 pre-set positions. Grass cuttings are blown into the large 200 litre rear mounted collector, which has an alarm to alert the operator when the collector is full. The collector can be emptied from the driver's seat, simply pull the lever up and tip out the grass.
The MTF84H has a semi-automatic hydrostatic transmission, simply press the front section of the transmission pedal to move forward, the harder you press the faster your speed. To reverse press the back of the pedal. Changing between moving forwards and backwards is seamless, ideal when you have obstacles or tight corners to negotiate.
This tractor has a comfortable high back seat which is adjustable to suit the driver. The seat also features a safety switch which cuts out the engine if the driver gets off the machine when the blades are turning.
To engage the cutting blades, simply pull out the switch on the dashboard; the electric clutch does the rest. Turning off the blades is equally easy, simply push in the switch to engage a brake which stops the blades within 3 seconds.
Fitted with a 414cc Stiga 400 Series OHV four stroke engine, this MTF84H tractor may be small but it has power to spare.
Manoeuverability is another important factor to consider when choosing a tractor. Light steering and an incredibly tight turning circle make the Mountfield MT84H a class leader.
Keeping your tractor in tip-top condition is easy, the cutting deck has a washing connector; simply snap on a hose, turn on the water, run the blades for a minute or two and the job is done!
A mulching kit and tow bar are available as optional extras.
