Stiga Park 540 DPX Diesel Out Front Deck Lawn mower

Stiga Park 540 DPX Diesel Out Front Deck Lawn mower £5834.00
Stiga Park 540 DPX Diesel Engine Front Cut Ride On Lawn mower – 4WD, 100cm or 110cm cutter deck and Hydrostatic drive Stiga have introduced these diesel front cut ride on lawnmowers to their outdoor power equipment and gardening range from 2014. Diesel ride on mowers have many advantages for the large scale gardener or small holding owner. If you use diesel already in your machines at work or home you can appreciate the cost effectiveness of running a lawn tractor on it as well. The Stiga Park 540 DPX is powered by a single cylinder Hatz 1B50V diesel engine which can produce 7.8kW of power and maintain speeds of up to 10 km/h. The 4 wheel drive fitted is ideal for mowing on slopes/ inclines or over uneven ground where you need that extra grip to the wheels. Hydrostatic transmission means the mower is simple to drive by just applying pressure to the accelerator pedal then easing off to slow down or stop. As with all Stiga front cut deck mowers the Park 540 DPX has articulated steering so the rear unit follows exactly in the path of the front deck.The rear wheels follow the front tracks precisely making it easy to drive through bushes, trees, flower beds etc and navigate around other garden obstacles. Stiga Multiclip cutting decks offer the choice of rear discharging your grass when using the mower in longer grass areas or ‘multiclipping’ or mulching the grass for shorter lawn areas where you mow regularly and require a more formal cut. The Stiga Park 540 DPX can be fitted with either a 100cm or 110cm cutter deck. The deck height can be adjusted hydraulically from the driving seat from 25 – 90mm.
