Get superior build-quality, great versatility and premium driver-comfort at an affordable price with the powerful and well-appointed Stiga Tornado 398 M Lawn Tractor!
Stiga’s OHV engine-technology ensures you’ll enjoy low fuel-costs, smooth, low-vibration operation and a marked reduction in nasty exhaust-emissions.
The Stiga Tornado 398 M is a dual-function machine capable of either side-discharging or mulching.
In side-discharge mode - which is ideal for overgrown orchard- and meadow-grass - clippings are laid-out in neat rows to the machine’s right, where they’ll wilt away; while in mulching-mode - which is perfect for well-maintained formal lawns - they’re held under the deck and shredded, before being forced at speed into the turf, providing it with natural organic fertiliser as they quickly rot down.
Designed with careful attention to ergonomics, the Stiga Tornado 398 M Lawn Tractor combines an ideally positioned height-of-cut control lever with an adjustable high-back seat, a raised soft-grip steering-wheel and push-button blade engagement.
It has a six-speed manual gearbox (five forward; one reverse), so there’s a suitable ground-speed for every situation; and it’s fitted with a pivoting front axle that ensures a consistent finish on rolling ground.
The large (457mm), wide-profile drive-tyres on the Stiga Tornado 2098 offer the perfect balance between high-grip traction and surface gentleness.
A hosepipe fixture-point means you’ll have no trouble getting rid of corrosive, performance-limiting debris from the underside of the deck; while twin anti-scalp gauge-wheels work to stop turf-marking when manoeuvring on inclines.
Further stand-out features include a cup-holder for on-hand refreshment; twin headlights for safe poor-light mowing; and safety contact-breaker that prevents start-up when the driver’s seat is vacant.Mulching cap and Tow Hitch are included as standard.
