Stiga Titan 740DC Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Titan 740DC Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £24955.00
Estate managers; golf-course keepers; and commercial landscaping contractors will all be seriously impressed by the hugely powerful and remarkably manoeuvrable Stiga Titan 740DC. Hard to beat when it comes to obstacle negotiation; it features a pivoting chassis that eliminates tail-swing, thereby allowing you to focus on the cutting-path without worrying about the back-end of the unit striking anything. This articulated steering system also minimises the turning-circle, in turn making it easy to realign at the end of each pass.The forward positioned cutter-deck on the Stiga Titan 740DC allows for safe and precise close-quarters cutting; and will enable you to mow under benches; shrubs; and low-hanging trees. You can specify your preferred deck-width (125cm; 135cm; 155cm), with all decks offering mulching and rear-discharge as standard. Tool-less deck-lift provides easy access to the undercarriage for cleaning and/or maintenance purposes; while electric height-of-cut adjustment means you can quickly adapt to the conditions without dismounting. Driving this beast of a machine is a 1331cc (22.2kW) Yanmar 3TNV82 three-cylinder diesel engine that’s characterised by its low-noise, low-vibration performance; and which meets Stage-3A EU emission requirements. Water cooling ensures an extended engine-life; while a 42-litre fuel-tank means you’ll be able to complete a full working day without having to stop for refuelling.The Stiga Titan 740DC Ride-On Lawnmower benefits from a permanently engaged hydraulic 4WD transmission, so you’ll have no issues traversing boggy ground; verges; and severe inclines. The ground-speed is adjustable in infinite increments and the transmission delivers a top transport-speed of 20km/h; and a top mowing-speed of 15km/h. Equipped with a factory-fitted cab with air-conditioning, the Titan 740DC can be used in all weathers, from driving rain through to scorching heat.It has a fully-welded steel frame at its heart, so it’s well-placed to cope with the rigours of heavy-duty commercial use; and Stiga have provided a powerful headlight for safe operation in low-light conditions.Not just a mower, the Titan 740D can be used with numerous implements, including a sweeper; front loader; and spreader.
