Stiga Tornado 398
The Tornado 398 is a powerful, versatile and highly manoeuvrable mulching tractor. It also has the equivalent of a cars’ automatic transmission -hydrostatic transmission so is smooth and slick. With a 98cm cutting width, it makes light work of any lawn up to 2 acres.
With this powerful and well-appointed lawn tractor from famous Swedish brand Stiga, you'll get excellent versatility, premium driver-comfort and rugged build-quality, all at a price that won't break the bank!
A high-performance 432cc four-stroke air-cooled motor with a six-litre fuel-tank for lengthy, interruption-free runs; and an electric key starter for dependable - and effortless - ignition.
Stiga's OHV (overhead-valve) technology means you'll enjoy reduced fuel-costs with fewer polluting exhaust-emissions and less uncomfortable vibration.
The Stiga Tornado 398 is a dual-capability machine able to either mulch or side-discharge.
In mulching-mode - which is perfect for regularly-mown 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. 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 quickly wilt away
Designed with ergonomics to the fore, the Stiga Tornado 398 Lawn Tractor, combines push-button blade-engagement with an ideally positioned cutting-height selection lever, a raised soft-grip steering-wheel and an adjustable high-back seat.
It’s fitted with a pivoting front axle that ensures a consistent finish on undulating terrain; and it benefits from a manoeuvrability-optimising hydrostatic drive that gives you smooth, infinite-increment ground-speed control with no need to stop and manually shift gear.
The substantial wide-profile rear tyres on the Tornado 398 offer the ideal compromise between surface-gentleness and high-grip traction.
Twin anti-scalp gauge-wheels work to stop turf-marking when manoeuvring on inclines; while a hosepipe fixture-point means you’ll have no trouble getting rid of corrosive, performance-inhibiting debris from the underside of the deck.
Other noteworthy features include a safety contact-breaker that prevents start-up when the driver’s seat is vacant; a cup-holder for on-hand refreshment; and twin headlights for safe poor-light mowing; and a handy mow-in-reverse function.Mulching cap and Tow hitch are included as standard.
