Castelgarden XDL 210 HD Riding-on Mower - Hydrostatic Transmission - Side Discharge and Mulching Cutting System

CastelGarden XDL 210 HD riding-on mower with side discharge

The riding-on mowers with side discharge by CastelGarden are ideal for mowing in large-sized spaces without too many obstacles. The side discharge enhances tall grass cutting and makes work easier.

The performance of this riding-on mower is truly exceptional given its 108 cm 2-blade cutting deck. Equipped with large pneumatic wheels with excellent turning radius that allow allow very smooth manoeuvring even in the smallest spaces.

This brand new model features a refreshed design and mounts a powerful 586 cc single-cylinder ST 550 Twin engine.

Ideal for users looking for a heavy-duty machine.

1- SIDE DISCHARGE (supplied on standard equipment): This is the most traditional cutting system; the riding-on mower cuts the grass and leaves it on the lawn. This system is recommended for mowing large-sized areas and for those who have to cut over-grown grass, for which the mulching or the grass collector system are no longer efficient.

2- MULCHING CUTTING SYSTEM (optional): This grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated and the grass needs cutting at least once a week. The conversion from one system to another is easy.

Easy conversion: simply apply the mulching plug in the grass outlet under the deflector to operate with the mulching cutting system

Thanks to the new 2-pedal hydrostatic transmission, driving the CastelGarden XDL 210 HD riding-on mower will be easy and intuitive. Simply control the riding-on mower with your right foot on the pedal.

Operating the machine is very simple: to proceed forward just push the pedal with the toe. The riding-on mower will advance according to the pressure exerted. Simply push the opposite end of the pedal with the heel to engage the reverse speed.

Sturdy gears make the gearbox difficult to break. The hydrostatic transmission is by far the most modern and functional (although more expensive) compared to the traditional manual transmission gears. The latter type, whenever it is necessary to adjust the speed, forces the operator to stop, change gear (because in all the riding-on mowers with a manual or mechanical gearbox the gear change takes place when the machine is stationary), leaving the clutch and then restart at the desired speed. In case of frequent speed variations (e.g. In gardens with trees, vases or other types of obstacles) the traditional gear transmission wouldn’t be practical at all. The hydrostatic transmission, on the other hand, allows immediate speed changes, without ever stopping and in a totally automatic manner, simply by varying the pressure on the drive pedal of this transmission.

The riding-on mower cutting deck is tilting: it adapts easily to the undulations of the ground (as long as they are not overly harsh).

Electromagnetic blade engagement controlled by means the button placed on the right of the steering wheel. This system avoids the manual shifting by means the standard lever placed on many types of riding-on mowers, and it works thanks to an electromagnetic clutch which allows an easy and fast engagement of the blades.

The ride-on lawn mower is designed and intended exclusively for cutting grass in gardens and parks (and not on other types of terrain). The working surface must be level, free of irregularities, stones, or other solid objects, and covered with maintained lawn grass (not uncultivated or spontaneous vegetation). Grass should be cut regularly and must not be allowed to grow beyond 25–30 cm, as most ride-on mowers are no longer capable of cutting at this height. Slopes exceeding 15% (equivalent to 9°) must be avoided, except when using 4x4 models.

For heavier-duty tasks, involving spontaneous vegetation, grass taller than the above-mentioned limits, or rougher surfaces than a garden, please consider alternative product categories such as Petrol Flail Mowers or Ride-On Flail Lawn, which are suitable for tall and uncultivated grass.

Grass must only be cut when both the lawn and the underlying soil are completely dry. Mowing operations should be carried out exclusively in dry weather, well away from periods of rain or irrigation, and preferably in the afternoon, when the grass is no longer affected by morning humidity. Wet grass tends to bend under the blades, reducing cutting efficiency, increasing the risk of clogging inside the deck, and subjecting both the engine and the transmission belt to excessive strain, which may result in damage.
