The 108cm (43″) twin blade cutter deck is rated for areas up to 6500m² and the removable mulching baffle allows it to hand both long and short grass. Powered by a 452cc Stiga ST500 engine and benefiting from a hydrostatic transmission system which gives infinitely variable forward and reverse speeds by simply using a foot pedal.

A snap on hose connection on the cutter deck facilitates cleaning after use.

Used on a regular basis mulching is a highly efficient method of recycling clippings and is increasingly popular as it does away with the need to compost the grass. Mulching leaves a fine finish; the mulched clippings are barely visible as they are blown deep into the turf  and return valuable nutrients such as nitrogen back into the soil promoting healthier growth. Side discharge comes into its own in longer grass conditions. It leaves a uniform finish and will tidy up a lawn which has grown too long for successful mulching.

Include a tow hitch, which is useful if you want to pull a trailers or spreader etc.
