Stiga Estate Master Lawn Tractor (Shop Soiled: Scratches on Body)

Stiga Estate Master Lawn Tractor (Shop Soiled: Scratches on Body) £1599.00
Combining Swedish brand Stiga’s famed build-quality with a raft of high-specification features; this high-end garden-tractor will make the task of large-scale lawn-care a whole lot less demanding.Key to its impressive mowing- and towing-performance is its 344cc Briggs & Stratton Powerbuilt engine; a powerful four-stroke unit with a full anti-vibration system that works to lessen noise, while reducing wear on crucial parts. An overhead-valve-type layout means unfailing reliability and low levels of fuel-consumption; while an electric key ignition allows for fast, stress-free starts, with no need to repeatedly pull on a starter-rope.The Stiga Estate Master Lawn-Tractor is a delight to drive, with its tight 140cm turning-circle and light-touch steering enabling the effortless negotiation of borders and awkwardly positioned obstacles.Its five-speed gearbox provides a suitable ground-speed for whatever grass-length or terrain you’re faced with; while its wide-ranging seven-step height-of-cut (25 – 80mm) makes it possible to achieve a precision finish.Capable of either mulching clippings, or collecting them in its cavernous 240-litre grassbag, the Stiga Estate Master is at home on a variety of grass-types.Powerful twin-headlights ensure you’ll be able to mow on into the dusk if you started a bit late in the day, while its audible ‘collector full’ warning works to prevent overfilling and the inevitable blocking of the discharge-chute that follows.This model’s large-capacity six-litre fuel-tank and 84cm mower-deck make it a good match for lawns up to 1.5 acres.

Harvest the spears in mid-spring when they are about 15cm tall and fairly thick.Position: full sun Soil: any moderately fertile soil Rate of growth: average Hardiness: fully hardy3 Crowns per pack
